The last hour of opening night.

I opened. LUNNAS held the middle, and this is what I came back to. Sunset had already gone, the rooftop had settled into its own rhythm, and all that was left was to close it the way I wanted to.

Recorded live at the Tomorrowland Store Ibiza, on the rooftop of Ibiza Gallery in Playa d'en Bossa, looking out at Ushuaïa and Hï just down the strip. The first of twelve bi-weekly Friday nights across the season.

Driving electronic from Ibiza. The closing stretch of where this residency begins.

Same pulse, different cities.

Midnighters, this one moves with intent.

The set opens with Kasablanca and Township Rebellion's It's Chemical on MAHOOL, exactly the kind of statement we needed to start. Charlotte de Witte's Amor with CERES on KNTXT follows, and Karla Blum's The Only One on Arcane Music keeps the grip tight.

Through the middle: Adam Beyer with Mark Reeve on Drumcode, EDRDO's Innocence Is a Myth, Diego Amaro, and Paul Tognelli's Take Control on Mainground. Stephan Dodevsky's rework of Jeff Mills' The Bells lands at the halfway point, a classic for those of us who remember the original.

The closing stretch is where this one earns its place. Norvis and Anna May on Animarum, Demon Noise with Lautaro Ibañez, Amber Broos's Chicks, Alex Farell with MXGN on HEKATE, and Giorgia Angiuli's Sanamos Bailando. The set closes on Marie Vaunt and Deborah de Luca with Lalala, exactly the finish I wanted to share with you this week.

Two days from now, the first Rooftop Session begins at the Tomorrowland Store Ibiza. Friday May 8, on the rooftop of Ibiza Gallery in Playa d'en Bossa, the start of twelve bi-weekly Friday nights across the season. If you're on the island, find me on the rooftop. If you're somewhere else this Friday, this set is what we'll be building toward.

There's a moment around the middle of this mix, you'll know which one. Drop the timestamp in the comments. I read every one.

Same pulse, different cities. See you next Wednesday.

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 203 is locked and loaded, and this one hits with a raw, driving energy from start to finish. I’ve been diving deep lately, and you can feel that in this selection. It’s all about momentum, tension, and those moments where the groove just takes over completely. No distractions, just pure connection through sound.

We kick things off with Jody 6 setting the tone on Ride This Groove, and from there it’s a steady climb. Karla Blum and Kaeno bring that hypnotic flow, while Arielle adds a sharp edge with Attention. Seboro flips the vibe into something more playful with Party At My House before Jay Lumen and Devid Dega push things into full force territory.

In the second half, Drunken Kong and Belocca keep the pressure high, leading into TOYZZ with a massive Earthquake moment. Then Pablo Say, David LeSal, and Viv Castle bring a groove-heavy shift before we dive into something truly special, Chris Liebing and Charlotte de Witte with Symphonie des Seins. That one speaks for itself.

Closing out with DJ Panda’s Enter Reality, we land, but not softly.

This episode is packed with tracks that deserve your full attention. Make sure you dive into the full playlist here:

Hey Midnighters,

Episode #202 is here, and this one dives straight into a deep, driving journey that kept me locked in from the very first second. There is a raw, hypnotic flow running through the entire set, one of those episodes where every track pulls you further into the night without letting go.

We open strong with Jody 6 - You Got Me, setting the tone before Emmanuel Miro’s Monochrome takes things into a more atmospheric space. From there, it is all about momentum. Sian and Sam WOLFE bring that edgy energy with Another Pill, and Sergio Marini’s Freaking adds a sharp twist that hits just right.

I have packed this episode with powerful selections. Westerby’s Human Expression and AIO and HNGT’s No Compromise really push that hypnotic groove forward, while Boy In Nature’s Cellular adds a deeper layer to the journey. Dj Perroz keeps things rolling with K.B.A., and Hybrasil alongside HYBRD deliver a standout moment with Way Back.

Thomas Schumacher and A.D.H.S. raise the intensity with Prometheus, and then you will recognize a reworked classic vibe as Green Velvet and Harvard Bass drop Lazer Beams in that Slim Black Festival Edit, always a weapon on the floor.

Closing the episode, Karla Blum’s Ahogar brings a darker edge before Krzysiek Teper’s Disco Volante wraps things up with pure driving energy.

This is one of those episodes you will want to replay, trust me.

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 201 is here, and this one hits with pure momentum from the very first beat. I went deep into driving rhythms and hypnotic layers this week, one of those journeys that keeps pulling you forward, track after track. No compromises, just raw energy designed for those late-night hours where everything locks in.

We kick things off with a powerful opener from Rein (NL), setting the tone instantly, and from there it’s a relentless ride. You’ll hear massive cuts from Anna Reusch, Viviana Casanova, and a heavy collaboration between Pan-Pot and Eli Brown that really pushes the intensity. Sisko Electrofanatik and Roberto Pagliaccia bring that groove, while Bouras keeps things tight and driving.

Mid-set, Monika Kruse gets a fresh twist with a Mark Reeve remix, and then a truly iconic moment: Jeff Mills’ The Bells reimagined for now. That transition hits different. From there, it’s all fire, Green Velvet and Harvard Bass remixed by Adam Beyer and Massano, plus Victor Ruiz and Alex Stein delivering pure power.

In the final stretch, Kaufmann (DE), Leblanc, and Chloe Martinez close the episode with attitude and edge, no slowing down, just forward motion all the way to the last second.

This episode is packed with standout tracks and serious heat throughout. Make sure you dive into the full tracklist and relive every moment here:

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 200… wow. What a milestone. This week’s Midnight Project is all about that raw, driving energy that’s been fueling dancefloors for years, but with a forward push into what’s next. I wanted this one to feel like a journey, starting deep, building tension, and then unleashing pure intensity as we celebrate this special moment together.

I’ve packed this episode with absolute power. From the timeless energy of Monika Kruse’s Latex to the hypnotic pull of Nicole Moudaber’s Black Silk, and the relentless drive of Space 92’s Dimension, this is one of those sets that just doesn’t let go. You’ll also hear massive collaborations like Chris Liebing and Charlotte de Witte with Symphonie des Seins, plus that explosive closing with Lilly Palmer and Space 92 on Vicious Chords.

There are so many standout moments in here, including that Radio Slave remix of Ralph Falcon’s Break You and the dark groove of Victor Ruiz’s Scorpio (HNGT Remix). This is exactly what The Midnight Project stands for: timeless sounds, forward-thinking energy, and tracks that hit you right in the chest.

Make sure you dive into the full tracklist and relive every moment here:

Thank you for being part of this journey and for riding with me all the way to episode 200. This is just the beginning of the next chapter.

Much love,

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 199 is here, and this one hits with pure late-night intensity from the very first kick. I built this set to keep you locked in that hypnotic zone, driving, emotional, and raw in all the right moments. It’s one of those journeys where time disappears and the groove takes over completely.

We open strong with OZBEK and Zafer Atabey’s “Shake Off,” setting the tone before rolling into the deep, powerful energy of Belocca and Sisko Electrofanatik’s remix of “Ametista.” The momentum keeps building with serious heat from Eli Brown and Pan-Pot on “Coming In Heavy,” a track that absolutely slams on big systems.

There’s also a beautiful balance in this episode. Tracks like Sam WOLFE’s “My Instinct” and KASIA’s “Simulate” bring that hypnotic tension, while Jay Crusoe and KAŸ Wagner add groove and emotion to the mix. And then we close with something truly special, Push’s “Universal Nation” (BLR Remix). A legendary moment, reimagined for now.

As always, I’ve packed this episode with music I love, including some real standouts and must-play tracks that are lighting up dancefloors right now.

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.

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 197 of The Midnight Project is here, and this one hits straight from the first second. I’m opening the show with my brand new track Atmos, and to celebrate the release, I’ve made it available as a free download for a few days on my SoundCloud. If you want to grab it, head over to https://soundcloud.com/sebastiaan-hooft while it’s still up.

From there, we dive deep into a powerful journey packed with driving energy and hypnotic grooves. Mario Ochoa brings serious tension with Forsaken, Pan-Pot delivers their unmistakable signature with Altered State, and METODI drops the wild Prince Igor On Steroids. Victoria Engel keeps the momentum flowing before the massive collaboration between Chris Liebing and Charlotte de Witte, Symphonie des Seins, takes things to another level.

You’ll also hear Amelie Lens with Falling Into Acid Dreams, a fierce moment from Paula van Klar with Calentura, and Tom Wax bringing pure rave spirit with The Rave Machine. Spartaque, Danny Aion, and Pablo Say keep the pressure building before we close strong with Bart Skils & Weska on Drumcode and George Z calling everyone back to the dancefloor.

As always, this episode is packed with incredible artists pushing the sound forward, and I’m grateful to share these tracks with you every week.
