The Midnight Project #197

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 197 of The Midnight Project is here, and this one hits straight from the first second. I’m opening the show with my brand new track Atmos, and to celebrate the release, I’ve made it available as a free download for a few days on my SoundCloud. If you want to grab it, head over to https://soundcloud.com/sebastiaan-hooft while it’s still up.

From there, we dive deep into a powerful journey packed with driving energy and hypnotic grooves. Mario Ochoa brings serious tension with Forsaken, Pan-Pot delivers their unmistakable signature with Altered State, and METODI drops the wild Prince Igor On Steroids.

Victoria Engel keeps the momentum flowing before the massive collaboration between Chris Liebing and Charlotte de Witte, Symphonie des Seins, takes things to another level. You’ll also hear Amelie Lens with Falling Into Acid Dreams, a fierce moment from Paula van Klar with Calentura, and Tom Wax bringing pure rave spirit with The Rave Machine.

Spartaque, Danny Aion, and Pablo Say keep the pressure building before we close strong with Bart Skils & Weska on Drumcode and George Z calling everyone back to the dancefloor.

As always, this episode is packed with incredible artists pushing the sound forward, and I’m grateful to share these tracks with you every week.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for keeping the energy alive every week.

I see you, Midnighters.

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.
