The Midnight Project #194

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 194 is live, and this week is a true showcase of the artists driving the culture forward right now. Every Wednesday at 6 AM we connect across time zones, and I am proud of the names featured in this one.

We open with Adam Sellouk and Alex Kaspersky on Drumcode. Adam has been on a serious rise, appearing on major lineups worldwide and building a reputation that goes far beyond the studio. KASIA continues to establish herself as one of the strongest forces in the current wave of producers, and her collaboration with KAF3R reflects that growing international presence. Township Rebellion and Fab Massimo represent consistency at the highest level, with Township in particular remaining a staple across global festivals and clubs.

Zafer Atabey is another artist to watch closely. His work on EXTIMA shows how fast new names are stepping into the spotlight. And then there is UMEK. A true pillar of the scene. Decades deep and still leading from the front. His influence on generations of producers is undeniable.

Roddy Lima’s connection with Drumcode continues to strengthen his profile, while MIRA MIRA, VE/RA, and Paula van Klar are part of a powerful new generation claiming their space. It is important to me that The Midnight Project gives that platform to rising artists alongside established names.

Cherrymoon Trax and Thomas Schumacher represent history and legacy. Bringing that 1994 anthem back into rotation is about respect for where this culture began. Thomas has consistently remained relevant through evolution, and that longevity deserves recognition.

Return Fall and Chris Mantanz are building momentum, Shuhandz, NYMESYS, and Nicole Chen show how collaboration fuels growth, and Marie Vaunt continues her unstoppable climb with major international recognition. Closing with Storm and Juliet Fox connects two strong artistic identities, and Juliet remains one of the most respected names on global lineups.

This is what Episode 194 stands for. Established icons, rising talent, and artists who are shaping what we will be hearing in clubs worldwide.

See you next Wednesday at 6 AM.

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.
