The Midnight Project #198

Author: Sebastiaan Hooft March 18, 2026 Duration: 59:52

Good morning Midnighters,

Episode 198 is ready, and this one moves with serious momentum from the first minute. We start deep and driving with OZBEK and Zafer Atabey’s "Don’t Stop," then quickly move into the powerful "Echoes" by Belocca. From there, the energy keeps building, blending classic moments, fresh releases, and underground weapons that are built for late nights and long runs.

This episode also features my own track Transmitter, placed right where the pressure peaks and the groove locks in. It sits alongside legends and innovators like Laurent Garnier with the timeless Crispy Bacon, Pan-Pot, Teenage Mutants, Ben Sims, Enrico Sangiuliano, Gregor Tresher, and Lilly Palmer.

Toward the final stretch, we dive deeper with strong releases from Mutual Rytm, including Ribé and Roll Dann with Sub Terra and Yanamaste closing the episode with Evil. There’s also serious movement from artists like Chloe Martinez, Ian Storm, Zethar, and Ziete, bringing acid textures and hypnotic rhythms that keep the mix evolving from start to finish.

As always, The Midnight Project is about discovering new music and pushing the sound forward every single week. With the Ibiza season approaching and the Tomorrowland rooftop sessions getting closer, the inspiration is flowing strongly right now.

Much love,

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.
