Greetings, Midnighters!

It's that magical moment of the week again—Wednesday at 6 AM when the world quiets down just enough for us to turn up the volume and dive deep into the hypnotic techno world with a fresh episode of The Midnight Project. As always, I'm here to share some insights into the heart and soul behind this week's carefully curated selection, bringing you closer to the artists that make our musical journey so extraordinary.

Kicking off this episode, we have Crage D's "The Swan," reimagined by Sagia in a remix that effortlessly bridges ethereal melodies with driving techno rhythms. Sagia's knack for transforming tracks into sprawling soundscapes full of emotion and energy sets a mesmerizing tone for the show. Her remix honors the original's spirit and elevates it, inviting us into a world where every beat tells a story.

Then, we turn to the darker, more introspective territories with Mha Iri's "Bell," remixed by YOZÉ. This track is a testament to YOZÉ's masterful approach to techno, where precision meets passion. The remix is a journey through pulsating basslines and intricate sound design that captivates and commands attention. Mha Iri's original prowess and YOZÉ's innovative vision result in a track that resonates with techno's soul.

As we venture further, "Destination" by Soolver and SILSAN showcases the power of collaboration in pushing musical boundaries. This track is a beautifully crafted piece that navigates through uplifting melodies and driving beats, showcasing both artists' ability to create an immersive and invigorating sonic experience. It's a reminder of techno's ability to unite and inspire, creating moments of connection on the dance floor.

Each track this week has been chosen not just for its sound but also for the stories behind the notes and the artists who bring them to life. Dive into the full experience and embrace the journey these remarkable producers have crafted for us. The full tracklist is at 1001 Tracklists: https://1001.tl/80bhhv

As we journey together through the night, I invite you to become an even more integral part of this adventure. Subscribe to The Midnight Project, share the love with your fellow techno enthusiasts, and become a beacon for those seeking refuge in the sound of the underground. Let's continue to build this community of Midnighters, united by our passion for music that moves and inspires.

And don't forget, I'm always eager to hear from you—comment with your favorite track from the show or suggest an artist you'd love to hear in our next session.

Until next time, let the rhythm guide you through the night.

Love,

Sebastiaan

D-Vox AKA Daniela Rhodes first touched the wheels of steel over 20 years ago, with the purchase of her Technics 1200s back in 2002. She's supported Judge Jules, Seb Fontaine, Sunscream & Brandon Block, has played at some top venues and events including MOS, Es Paradis, Logic Fest and Soundwave Fest, and has shared the bill with craft masters Matt Fax, Frankie Wah, Junior Jack, John00Fleming, MarkEG, Space Brothers, and Cristian Varella, amongst others.

From mixing hard dance in her bedroom inspired by Tiesto, and through the heavy influence of her music loving parents, Daniela competently and passionately delivers multi-genre DJ sets ranging from feel-good disco right through to the deepest, darkest techno, and has gained a wealth of experience as an artist since her music journey began.

D-Vox is also a versatile vocalist and, since her days of singing old school garage classics into her hair brush with a dream of one day becoming a singer, she has developed a unique ability to accompany instrumentals within her glowing, multi-genre sets with her impressive live vocals.

Daniela is steadily becoming recognised for her skills in the studio as well as on stage and has worked with many respected artists including Philth, JP Lantieri, Xspance, Fractal Architect, ACAY, MellowD, Monsieur Pluspetit, Sweet LA, Collate, Audioglider, J Luada, Matt Black & Chris Sterio, Somar Nomar, Findike, Dolby D, Martyn Nytram, Mogi Wa Wa, Doppelstern, Stu Chapman, Joey Fehrenbach, Col Lawton, to name a few.

Her collaborative releases span across a multitude of highly acclaimed labels including Bonzai Progressive, Superfreq, Dispatch Recs, Upon You, Morphosis, Krafted, Cinematique, RG Music, Big Speaker, Zulu Recs, Modus Vivendi Records, HoTL Records, Stripped Music, ARRVL, DeepDownDirty, Flemcy Music, and many more.

Daniela's collaborations have also seen some mighty remixes by powerhouse producers inclusing Mr.C, Nichols, David Leckenby, Focus FL, Zstimer & WRU, Simon Harris, WLSN, Nostromos, KETNO and Konvic.

Daniela hosted her live show 'D-Vox & Guests' on Bournmouth’s Afro*disiac Radio for 5 years before making the hard decision to step away from radio to focus on collaboration projects. She's also aired popular shows on Southampton's Voice FM and Germany's Progressive Beats Radio between 2015-16. Her 3-month residency at a luxury Ozen By Atmosphere resort in Maldives was a highlight in 2017, and she spent the next few years that followed laying her foundations in Ibiza and Aiya Napa, performing at top night spots with Parasol Collective, ANHP, and Voice FM.

D-Vox has made many guest appearances on nationwide radio stations, including London’s legendary LifeFM, also at Shine879 in Essex, and with BBC Radio 1 residents Krafted for their radio show streamed live from The DJ Shop in Southampton shortly after which she was invited to play at their quarterly event supporting the mighty Matt Fax alongside Krafted residents.

An amazing opportunity was then presented to D-Vox, by dj/producer Laurent Schark, to share her sound on his Live Selection Show; the worlds’ most syndicated radio show reaching out to 3 million listeners which she accepted with a very big smile. The segment featuring Daniela was unknowingly picked up by Italian cable channel Canal 7 that streamed her live set, and artist interview, out to the Mediterranean masses.

With the help of her South African soul friend DJ Sharm Pillay, D-Vox sailed into 2019 with a four-page spread in global Audiation Mag's Jan issue which included her snap on the cover. Following this she was invited by Sharm to share some melodic techno moods with her SEKSiCuLLTURE listeners on Melbourne's Kiss FM, Australia.

As well as being heavily involved in the practical side of music Daniela is also a keen writer of more than just her deep and meaningful lyrics. She copywrites for Flemcy Music, Findike Records and Dark Hooks Recordss, and provides music and event reviews, press releases, pitches, and proofreading services on request.

Daniela also a proud member of The Black Chapel Collective; a passionate group of creative artists founded by Essex based music producer Steve Mortimer, with a worldwide, multi-award winning film & live show 'Connect', addressing important global issues using contemporary music, visuals, graphics, speech samples, poetry & dance.

With a bustling music diary, an ever-evolving and dynamic catalogue of works, and with producers queuing to work with her captivating vocals, Daniela has her foot firmly on a pedal powered by her relentless passion for the music she loves. Who knows where her talents will take her as she continues to share her positively infectious, and highly creative music energy as far & wide as she can spread it.
