Midnighters,

Sixty thousand of you hear this hour on DI.FM every week, and that is before the podcast feeds, Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube and every replay in between. The real number is bigger than I can count, and it grows in one way only. Someone sends the link to a friend on a night shift, someone drops the show in a group chat after a set, someone plays it in the car with the windows down. That has been the whole engine from the start. If the show gave you something this week, pass it to one person.

The hour opens on Drumcode with Taste of the Night, the first collaboration between A.D.H.S. and Kos:mo, out on DC4 Vol. 6 last Friday. Sam WOLFE and PETER PAHN came from that same EP last week, so the release is now three records deep in two shows. Victor Ruiz and Modeā follow with Bloom, again on Drumcode, then Zafer Atabey on EXTIMA, the Istanbul label he co-founded. Victor Ruiz returns with Moreira on Arcane Music, and Atlante takes us to twenty minutes, the title track of the Redraft Memories EP on Second State Audio. Gitecdj and Unika DJ land next on BLACKRIFT.

The middle is SS Ventura and Mankraft with Ravalon on Shodan Records, a label I know from the inside, then Marco Faraone with Killa on Artcore, Davestorm with the second EXTIMA record of the hour, and Tech Us Out on Orange Recordings. We close with Simina Grigoriu, Layers of Reality on DCLTD, the Heizek remix of Mind from Caméléonx on Dark Fiend Records, and Connect (BR) with Calum Kieran on Sound Dissonance.

Every one of those artists is someone in this community can discover for the first time this week. Follow them, buy the records, tell your people where you heard it. Small labels grow on exactly that, and so does this show. Full tracklist is on 1001Tracklists as always.

So tell me which track hit hardest, I read everything.

See you at midnight,

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.
