Hey Tribe! 🖤

Sebastiaan here, greeting you bright and early on this beautiful Wednesday morning. As always, starting the day with The Midnight Project is our weekly ritual. Episode 070 is here, and I've curated a unique set that I believe will resonate with our shared values of authenticity, health, wellness, and, of course, the love for techno.

Today, I want to spotlight a couple of artists who've genuinely caught my attention:

🎵 Kaspar (DE) - Hailing from Germany, Kaspar's sound is a testament to the country's rich techno heritage. His track "Imagination" is a journey into the depths of what techno can genuinely evoke. It's raw, natural, and filled with passion.

🎵 André Pillar - André's music bridges the old and the new. "Incross the Glow" is a testament to his ability to weave traditional techno elements with modern sounds, creating a familiar and fresh tapestry.

For the complete tracklist of today's episode, head over to 1001 Tracklists. As always, I encourage you to dive deep, explore, and let the music take you on a journey.

Dear Techno Travelers,

As the world revolves, every beat and pulse ties us closer to moments of introspection and connection. This week, in the 69th edition of The Midnight Project, I invite you to a soulful exploration that takes us through the varied landscapes of techno.

We embark with Victor Ruiz and Modeā's "Bloom," a track that feels like the first breath of spring, reminding us that there's a new beginning in every ending. Vikthor's collaboration with Galluxy brings a reflective piece titled "Mirror," reminding us of the dualities of life.

And while the cosmic allure of Julien Jeweil's "Mars" (remixed by Charles D) pulls us into the expanses of the universe, Supermode's iconic "Tell Me Why" gets a fresh twist with AdamK and Vikthor steering the controls.

AdamK and Vikthor return with their singular creation, "Don't Give In." It's a testament to our collective resilience, a call to remain steadfast in our passions. Mladen Tomic's "Fly With Me" elevates our spirit, and by the time Ignacio Arfeli urges you to "Feel The Bass," you're already levitating.

As we transition, André Pillar's plea "Have Mercy" adds an emotional depth, matched in intensity by Josh Richards' "High Roller." Push's "Hysteron" is a hypnotic masterpiece, luring us deeper into the techno abyss.

Space 92's "Time" reminds us of the relentless tick-tock of life, urging us to embrace every fleeting moment. As we conclude this audial journey, Yuuta and Ado (Col) offer a warm "Welcome To" their world, a fitting finale that promises more adventures.

This week's journey is not just about the beats but also the spaces in between, the silences that speak volumes, and the echoes that linger long after. It's a testament to the transformative power of music, especially when we listen with open hearts.

I hope this episode finds a special place in your soul. Life is a rhythm, and we're all dancing to it.

Till next time, stay connected stay inspired.

Special note: The universe of The Midnight Project awaits you at https://www.sebastiaanhooft.com. Dive deeper, connect with like-minded souls, and subscribe to ensure you never miss an episode. See you next Wednesday at 6 AM.

Happy Saturday to all techno fans out there! This week, The Midnight Project is bringing a uniquely curated episode featuring the dynamo duo setting the techno world ablaze: Tech Us Out.

For those who might not be familiar, Tech Us Out is the brainchild of label bosses Joe Cozzo and Chris Khaos, the driving forces behind TUO Records. Their unmatched dedication to the genre is evident through their extensive discography, spanning not only their imprint but also renowned labels such as S&S Records, Play Records, DIRIDIM, Eclipse Records, Shodan Records, Tres14, Natural Rhythm, Let's Techno Records, and many more.

Their prowess isn't just limited to releases. In February 2022, they triumphantly claimed the #1 spot on the Traxsource Top 100 Deep Tech Charts with "In N Out," closely followed by the #2 B-Side, a mesmerizing collaboration with Shawn Jackson. And let's not overlook the global acclamation they've garnered, with techno giants like Carl Cox, Horatio, T78, and Sama' Abdulhadi championing their tracks.

This episode blends these techno titans' tracks with my productions, weaving an immersive and electrifying sonic tapestry. From the captivating beats of Jay Lumen's 'Motherland' to the profound depth of my own 'Shelter,' we travel through various rhythms and emotions.

Collaborating with such influential figures in the industry is a true honor, especially given our shared connection through Horatio's Shodan Records. As we delve into this special edition, let's celebrate the shared passion, the unity in diversity, and the heartbeat that connects us all: techno.

Stay in rhythm and keep the techno spirit alive,

Sebastiaan Hooft

Good morning, beautiful souls,

Can you feel it? That familiar pulse of excitement that graces us every Wednesday at 6 AM CET? Yes, it's our sacred time to unite again through The Midnight Project, a sanctuary where we embrace the rhythmic heartbeat of techno intertwined with the essence of health and harmony.

This week, I am eager to embark on this journey with you, beginning with a piece very dear to me, "Crest." I am beyond excited to let you experience it firsthand before its grand unveiling on Shodan this September 25th.

As we drift through this curated haven of sound, we encounter creators who are not merely musicians but narrators of the techno chronicle, echoing the genre's distinct spirit and pulse in every beat they craft. Talents such as Nicolas Taboada, Perpetual Universe, and the indomitable Tiger Stripes alongside Oscar Escapa craft experiences beyond just music; they are a pulse, a heartbeat, a journey.

In this curated collection of artistry, I couldn't pass the opportunity to share a fascinating tidbit about Tiger Stripes. Did you know that apart from creating reverberating techno tracks, he has a deep love for Jazz music? This fusion of love for different genres brings a distinct richness to his creations, a richness that we get to explore in this episode through "The Answer."

This communion we share transcends beats and rhythms; it's a testament to the vital force of techno, a rhythm that flows in us, nurturing our being, kindling a spirit of joy, and fostering a community bound by love for music and the ardency to live a balanced, healthy life.

So, with hearts full of anticipation and spirits alight with the vibrancy of techno, let's step into another week of exploration, music, and harmony. Here's to the joy of being, the pulse of techno, and the vibrant connection we share in this musical haven we call The Midnight Project.

See you on the dance floor of life,

Sebastiaan Hooft

Dear Techno Family,

As we welcome another vibrant week, I'm elated to share the latest episode of The Midnight Project. This isn't just another mix—it's our testament to the depths of our connection with techno and a narration of the stories, feelings, and passions that tie us together.

Opening with Teenage Mutants' "Now" was a deliberate choice. It speaks to the essence of living in the present, a philosophy that has always resonated with me. It's about immersing ourselves in every beat, every moment, embracing the now.

Every track, every transition, from Frank Biazzi's mesmerizing layers to Mha Iri's arresting rhythms, tells a story. It's a story of embracing life's twists and turns, much like the allure of "The Unexpected," or finding clarity in moments of chaos, as ANDATA's "Concentrate" so poignantly encapsulates.

Witnessing the genius of artists like Kaiserdisco and UMEK, with their distinctive acid and gabber nuances, reminds me of our unwavering commitment to pushing the envelope in techno. It's about redefining, evolving, and converging worlds to craft something unique.

Tracks by talents like Charles D (USA) and the sonic journey of Gregor Tresher are testaments to the incredible community we've fostered. It reflects the bonds we've forged, where every beat is a shared heartbeat, a collective pulse.

To all the devoted souls across the globe—from the bustling streets of New York to the techno havens of Amsterdam and Berlin—this mix is for you. It stands as a beacon of our dedication to living authentically, championing health, and finding balance amidst the fervor of techno.

Lose yourself in this mix, and let it fuel your workouts, drives, or those rare introspective moments. And always remember, our journey is sculpted by passion, balance, and an unyielding love for techno.

Let the rhythm guide you until our next techno adventure. Share your techno moments with me, and continue nurturing this community—one beat at a time.

With love and techno,

Sebastiaan Hooft 🖤🎵
