Good morning, beautiful souls,

Can you feel it? That familiar pulse of excitement that graces us every Wednesday at 6 AM CET? Yes, it's our sacred time to unite again through The Midnight Project, a sanctuary where we embrace the rhythmic heartbeat of techno intertwined with the essence of health and harmony.

This week, I am eager to embark on this journey with you, beginning with a piece very dear to me, "Crest." I am beyond excited to let you experience it firsthand before its grand unveiling on Shodan this September 25th.

As we drift through this curated haven of sound, we encounter creators who are not merely musicians but narrators of the techno chronicle, echoing the genre's distinct spirit and pulse in every beat they craft. Talents such as Nicolas Taboada, Perpetual Universe, and the indomitable Tiger Stripes alongside Oscar Escapa craft experiences beyond just music; they are a pulse, a heartbeat, a journey.

In this curated collection of artistry, I couldn't pass the opportunity to share a fascinating tidbit about Tiger Stripes. Did you know that apart from creating reverberating techno tracks, he has a deep love for Jazz music? This fusion of love for different genres brings a distinct richness to his creations, a richness that we get to explore in this episode through "The Answer."

This communion we share transcends beats and rhythms; it's a testament to the vital force of techno, a rhythm that flows in us, nurturing our being, kindling a spirit of joy, and fostering a community bound by love for music and the ardency to live a balanced, healthy life.

So, with hearts full of anticipation and spirits alight with the vibrancy of techno, let's step into another week of exploration, music, and harmony. Here's to the joy of being, the pulse of techno, and the vibrant connection we share in this musical haven we call The Midnight Project.

See you on the dance floor of life,

Sebastiaan Hooft

2025 ADE at The Midnight Project

Ibiza in winter is a different kind of magic. Intimate, grounded, and full of intention. As the island breathes into the new season, the music thrives in private villas, hillside hideouts, and underground spots where connection comes first.

This mix brings together a crew of artists who are shaping that sound. HUGEL, Kurd Maverick, and Flashmob bring pure energy and rhythm, fueling the spaces where people still come together to dance. GruuvElement’s, Silvie Loto, and Melanie Ribbe offer deep, rolling grooves that feel perfectly tuned for this time of year. Warm, textured, alive.

George Privatti, Chris Di Perri, and Ordonez push things forward with precision and flair, while artists like Josh Samuel, Chris Campos, and Castion keep the floor moving with their bold, contemporary edge. Each track is part of a wider story rooted in community, creativity, and the pulse of a lifestyle that is always evolving.

With the close of ADE in Amsterdam, the Ibiza club season also reaches its final chapter. This year wrapped with memorable sessions at Tomorrowland, Casa Linda, and De Tulp. Each one a reflection of the energy that keeps this scene moving long after summer fades.
Ibiza is alive. More focused. More real. And the music is still flowing, stronger than ever.

If this sound resonates with your space or your crowd, let’s connect to fly me in this winter,

Sebastiaan

As we close out the year, I wanted this session to reflect the energy that’s been building across the island. Intense, percussive, and full of movement. These tracks carry the pulse of underground spaces where the connection runs deep. Low ceilings, warm systems, eyes closed.

There’s a thread of tension running through this mix, with moments that let go into full release. A few personal favorites, some new discoveries, and a private edit made for nights that stretch into morning.

Thank you for riding with me this year. Whether you’ve tuned in from a beach, a dance floor, or just your own zone. This journey only works because you’re part of it.

Stay grounded. Stay curious. See you in 2026.
