The Midnight Project #219

Midnighters, this hour is for you.

Last week you showed up in numbers that still make me smile, and the best way I know to say thank you is to raise the bar again. So this week we go deep into Drumcode territory. Pan-Pot's Diamonds Head sets the pace on Mobilee, then Adam Beyer takes over the first quarter of the hour twice in a row. Alto with Layton Giordani is rave kissed and written in a major key, built from the same vocal source as The Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds, and Let Loose with DJ Jock keeps that Drumcode drive rolling straight into Freak Your Mind on Truesoul.

Around the halfway point, I slipped in one of my own. Retriever is my new track, named after the four-legged member of this household, and it sits between the warm groove of Chemistry by Dhuna and Pablo Say and the low-end pressure of Feel My Bass. From there, Jay Lumen and DJ Jordan push the tempo before 6 SENSE tells you exactly what to do with Say It.

The final stretch goes big. Free My Soul, the brand new collaboration between Vini Vici, Space 92 and CERES on Armada, dropped only days ago and already feels like a festival closer. Psytrance energy, techno drums, one soaring vocal. I follow it with the Olly James rework of Cosmic Gate's Exploration Of Space, a classic reborn, then land the hour with Disco Move and Strange Days.

The Midnight Project lands every week, same time, same place. No gaps, no reruns, over 200 episodes and counting, and a community of Midnighters that keeps growing because you share the show with people who get it. Follow on your favorite platform and the new hour just shows up.

If one track in this episode moves you, tell me which one. I read everything, and that is how I build these sets.

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.
