Hey Midnighters,

Welcome back to The Midnight Project. This week’s episode kicks off a special run that’s very close to my heart. Dark, driving, and locked into a deep late-night flow, this one is all about momentum and trust in the groove.

I opened the show with "Ritmolicious," taken from a brand-new four-track EP that UMEK just sent me. This is the first track from that release, and I’ll be featuring the remaining three cuts across the next three episodes of The Midnight Project. No rush, no shortcuts. Each track gets its own moment and its own space exactly where it belongs.

Around that exclusive opener, the energy builds with powerful selections from Emmanuel Miro, Nikoretti, C-Poch, and Return Fall, followed by a timeless, remastered weapon from Monika Kruse and Voodooamt.

The second half of the show keeps the pressure high with music from Rich Coote, German Carrizo, ZEREN, Nico Banfi with Techmo, CHANCEKNOT, YellowHeads, and Ali James, carrying us through to the closing moments. This is what The Midnight Project is about.

Sharing new music directly from the artists, giving it room to breathe, and taking you along for the journey as it unfolds week by week.

Thank you for tuning in, for listening closely, and for being part of this every Wednesday morning. I’ll see you next week at 6 AM for the next chapter.

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.
