Hello, you vibrant souls, and welcome back to another episode of The Midnight Project. With every beat we share, I hope to bring our collective passion for techno closer to the balanced essence of life.

Today, I'd like you to join me in celebrating the genius of David Phoenix. The rhythm and depth of 'Vision Serpent' remind me so much of our shared journey.

Amsterdam Dance Event may have wrapped up, but the vibes continue to resonate, especially in this week's episode. I had some phenomenal moments at ADE this year. One such highlight was meeting with the incredible team at 1001 tracklists. Moments like these remind me how interconnected our musical universe is, and I'm always grateful for the experiences and people this journey brings into my path.

Speaking of paths, there's an artist in today's episode whose journey I'm particularly inspired by - Marie Vaunt. She's been revolutionizing the scene with her powerful acid techno vibes. Her dedication, craft, and unique sound make her a standout, and I'm thrilled to feature her. Another mention goes to Danny Avila. The energy he brings to his tracks and sets is contagious, and I'm not just saying that because he's played some of my tracks, too!

For those curious about the entire tracklist for this episode, head over to 1001 Tracklists, where you can dive deep into the musical journey.

As always, your continuous support fuels this endeavor, and I'm genuinely grateful to each of you for being a part of this musical family. Remember, the city is slowly returning to its residents post-ADE, so if you ever fancy a coffee chat in Amsterdam, my doors are always open.

Here's to another week of rhythm, beats, and collective euphoria. Keep the love for music alive until next week!

With gratitude,

Sebastiaan Hooft
