Akona at The Midnight Project

Author: Sebastiaan Hooft May 24, 2025 Duration: 1:01:54

Hey Midnighters,

This Saturday on The Midnight Project, I’m proud to welcome a guest mix from Akona, a hardcore acid selector out of San Diego. Her style is raw, intense, and completely locked into that underground warehouse energy. If you love pounding kicks, twisted acid lines, and hypnotic grooves that don’t let up, this one’s for you.

Akona opens with Atron’s Phoenix Arise and drives straight into heavy territory with Sagittarius by Mario Piu and ROBPM, Anxiety from Avis Vox and ASYS, and the gritty Acid Control by Alex Nocera and Roy Batty. The mix pulses with fire from Charlotte de Witte, Deborah de Luca, and closes strong with two hard-edged tracks by Aida Arko including the brutal Hard Disco with PRYDIE.

This set doesn’t ease in. It dives deep and drags you to the core of the rave.

Thanks for locking in, Midnighters. Let Akona take you all the way to the edge.

See you in the dark,

Sebastiaan

Curated by DJ and producer Sebastiaan Hooft, The Midnight Project Techno Music is a weekly immersion into the genre's deeper currents. This isn't a random playlist; it's a constructed session where new discoveries sit alongside foundational tracks, all mixed with a DJ's intuition for narrative and flow. Sebastiaan uses the format of a podcast to craft a focused, hour-long atmosphere each week, pulling from fresh releases that deserve attention, overlooked gems from past years, and those classic rhythms that never lose their power. The result feels less like a broadcast and more like a private listening room where the energy builds, evolves, and transports you. You'll hear seamless blends and thoughtful progressions that highlight the hypnotic, physical, and sometimes melancholic soul of techno. It’s for those moments after dark when you want the continuity of a club set without the crowd, or when you need a pulse for focused work or travel. The consistency of the weekly podcast provides a reliable source for both keeping up with the scene and rediscovering its essence, all filtered through Sebastiaan’s seasoned ear. Tune in for a direct, ad-free stream of pure rhythm.
