Midnighters!

Proud to welcome Emison to The Midnight Project.

I’ve been keeping an eye on his sound for a while now — raw, hypnotic, and straight from the underground. When we connected on our track, Demonic, it clicked immediately. He’s got that rare instinct for tension and groove that drives a dancefloor without letting go.

This guest mix is precisely that: no filler, just full-pressure techno—a glimpse into the world of a Sicilian artist who lives and breathes the club.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting this collaboration together.

More to come.

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 165 is here and it closes out something special. Over the past four episodes, we’ve explored Adam Beyer’s studio album track by track, four each week, and today we wrap it up with the final chapter. From “Accelerate” with Kyozo to “Boundless,” these last selections bring the same intensity, groove, and precision that have defined the whole journey. It’s been an honor showcasing this record with you.

The energy this week is sharp and cinematic. Rebūke returns with a double feature, including the massive “Chaos” alongside P.T. Adamczyk. SUDO drops a standout from Drumcode that’s both tough and liberating. And there’s more. Miane’s “You” brings a deep hypnotic drive, while IAMT delivers again with serious warehouse fire from Raden (UK) and Antlen Gray.

I’ve also added something close to the heart. “Let’s Go,” my new collab with Laybe and Bruno Power, hits right near the end. It’s bold, fast, and made for the dance floor. Let me know how it lands for you.

Hey Midnighters,

This weekend, I’ve got something special for you. Alex Micca is taking over The Midnight Project with a guest mix that hits deep and doesn’t let go. If you’re into driving rhythms, emotional tension, and that unmistakable underground vibe, you’re going to love this one.

Alex has been connected to sound since he was a kid. You can feel that in how he builds a set—slow, deliberate, but with purpose. It’s not just about the drop, it’s about the journey. His mix blends heavy grooves with atmospheric textures, pulling from his roots in Berlin-inspired dub techno and his Italian fire.

In this episode, you’ll hear Alex’s latest track "Quantum," the Sisko Electrofanatik remix of his collaboration with MC Casty "Sex Machine," and a string of unreleased gems like "Nebula" and "Freeze Your Mind." He’s layered them with heaters from Gizmo & Mac, Kate Hex, and Jon Rundell to build a proper techno ride.

You’ll also get a taste of Cosmica, the concept he co-founded with MC Casty, which is all about pushing boundaries and creating something that feels real, raw, and shared.

Big love to Alex for this mix—it’s honest, it’s intense, and it’s precisely what The Midnight Project is all about. And thank you, as always, for listening. You’re the reason this show has a pulse.

See you next week,

Sebastiaan

Hey Midnighters,

Hey Midnighters,

This week’s guest mix on The Midnight Project is something special. Coming straight from the underground, we welcome Laybe behind the decks! His sound is tight, focused, and relentless, and this mix captures the essence of what The Midnight Project is all about: pure energy and deep connection through techno.

I'm also thrilled to share a personal highlight. Laybe, Bruno Power, and I have a brand-new track coming out soon on Redesign Records. It's called *Let’s Go*, and you’ll hear it in this episode. We built it with the dance floor in mind. No distractions, just drive. You can check it out here: [https://songshare.com/track/zyau893s](https://songshare.com/track/zyau893s)

Laybe’s mix is packed with exclusive cuts, unreleased fire, and tracks that lock you into a groove from the very first kick. It’s a bold, rolling journey that I’m proud to share with you all.

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 163 is live, and we’ve got something special to celebrate. The Midnight Project is now two full hours on DI.FM. That means more music, more connection, and more space to spotlight the artists driving this scene forward. Thank you for being part of it.

The first hour features a powerful run of premieres, continuing our journey through Adam Beyer’s new album with four fresh tracks. We started this series last week, we continue it today, and we’ll wrap it up next Wednesday. Horatio’s “Divertir,” recently played by Carl Cox in UNVRS, added a standout moment. Belocca & Heerhorst, Sam Kitt, Ivan (BG), Estora, and Mathesse all brought something real and energizing.

In the second hour, we welcomed a guest mix that kept the momentum strong and the energy flowing. These collaborations are what The Midnight Project is all about, bringing new voices to the front and creating space for connection through sound.

It was also a joy to hear Thomas Schumacher revamp a classic from DJ Rush, giving it a fresh spin while honoring its roots. A reminder of how the past and future of techno are always connected.

Thanks for listening, for showing up, and for helping this project grow every week.

Hey Midnighters,

This Saturday, I'm bringing you a guest mix from an artist who lives and breathes the underground: Jacki-E. Her set on The Midnight Project is fierce and flowing. From deep techno pulses to raw momentum, this one takes you on a ride with zero hesitation.

The mix opens with Gonzalo F’s “Coherence”. It builds fast with the likes of “Cyber Code” (Unlighted Remix), “Sonar” by Frank Leder, and the explosive energy of “Control” from Charles D. You’ll hear big moments from Adam Beyer, Joyhauser, and Charlotte de Witte, balanced with emotive cuts like “Touch Me” by Sarah de Warren & Sandma and the stunning closer “Out of Time” by Mha Iri & Marie Vaunt.

Jacki-E is a Techno and Drum and Bass DJ and producer from North Wales. She runs two radio shows: A Darker Wave, which champions new techno, and Draw The Line, spotlighting music made by women to challenge the gender imbalance in dance music. Every week, she delivers fresh mixes across a broad spectrum, including techno, jungle, indie dance, and more.

She has played across the UK and Germany in cities such as Berlin, Cologne, Liverpool, and London. Releases on Get Physical, Technological Records, and DeepDownDirty back her festival and club appearances. Her latest techno release, “Unsettled,” is out now on Technological Records. She is also a member of the DJ collectives Sisu Crew and female:pressure.

This mix is a statement. It’s full of edge, purpose, and soul. The kind of energy we live for.

Good morning, Midnighters,

Today marks the beginning of something special on The Midnight Project. Over the next four episodes, we will be diving deep into Adam Beyer’s brand-new studio album, Explorer Vol.1, his first in over 20 years. This record isn’t just a release; it’s the start of a new chapter for the revered Swedish producer, DJ, and label head of Drumcode and Truesoul.

Explorer is a culmination of Adam’s entire creative journey. Across these tracks, you will hear the influence of his decades-long dedication to techno, as well as his love for sci-fi both musically and visually. His sound continues to evolve, and this album reflects his hunger to explore different genres while staying rooted in the powerful rhythms we all connect with.

Alongside this focus on Adam Beyer, today’s show also features other fresh premieres from talented artists pushing their own boundaries. Luis M, Emanuele Marini, Adrianna, Reaktive, Fach & Silvertone (US), and Hasegawa all bring something unique to this week’s journey, reminding us why techno remains timeless and ever-evolving.

Listen to the full playlist here:

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Let’s carry the energy from these premieres into our week ahead.
