Techno Live Sets

Hey Midnighters,

This Saturday on The Midnight Project, I’m proud to welcome a guest mix from Akona, a hardcore acid selector out of San Diego. Her style is raw, intense, and completely locked into that underground warehouse energy. If you love pounding kicks, twisted acid lines, and hypnotic grooves that don’t let up, this one’s for you.

Akona opens with Atron’s Phoenix Arise and drives straight into heavy territory with Sagittarius by Mario Piu and ROBPM, Anxiety from Avis Vox and ASYS, and the gritty Acid Control by Alex Nocera and Roy Batty. The mix pulses with fire from Charlotte de Witte, Deborah de Luca, and closes strong with two hard-edged tracks by Aida Arko including the brutal Hard Disco with PRYDIE.

This set doesn’t ease in. It dives deep and drags you to the core of the rave.

See you in the dark,

Hey Midnighters,

His set on The Midnight Project features heavy-hitting techno from names like Veerus, Florian Meindl, Dusky, and Slam, while sliding in exclusive IDs including a trio of unreleased gems: solo, with Marvo, and with Vikthor. You’ll also hear “Another Planet,” his collab with POPOF and Mauro Somm, dropping this July on Smash The House. And don’t miss his FutureVisionMix of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy The Silence” with Lou8—a closing statement that hits you right in the soul.

In a city where heritage and hedonism co-exist, Amsterdam Dance Event continues to be the meeting point for global minds and local energies. On Thursday night, KIT Royal Tropical Institute — a venue steeped in colonial history and reimagined for modern culture — hosted Earth Water & Wine, an intimate, finely curated experience. At the centre: Sander Petit, known to many as De Danceadvocaat.

Underground Frequencies is proud to present the recording of this set — a document of a night that transcended the expected, weaving together progressive textures, melodic techno, and emotive narrative arcs.

Petit's approach is fluid. The set opens with Coeus’ Sarajevo and Alea — layered, cinematic cuts that set a reflective tone. What follows is a slow, deliberate build: Matchy's High On Emotions and Space Motion’s 5th Element bring a pulse to the room, while Space Food’s Camelia adds swing and tension.

From there, the atmosphere shifts. The Sean & Dee edit of Adriatique & WhoMadeWho vs. RÜFÜS DU SOL’s Miracle brings emotional weight, while Orkidea’s remix of Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill strikes a rare balance between euphoria and restraint. A risky inclusion — but here, it lands perfectly.

In the midsection, Petit doubles down on groove and depth. Daril Epsilon’s In Harm’s Way, Illyus & Barrientos’ D.A.N.C.E., and Marius Drescher’s Data Entry lay a framework that is as functional as it is introspective. Marc DePulse's Rapante (Palamara Remix) adds subtle lift, without sacrificing cohesion.

As the room begins to stretch toward the night’s end, Agents of Time take over with It’s All Good and The Mirage — atmospheric, emotionally charged, and deeply satisfying. The closer, Alex Kennon’s Blinding Lights in Joris Voorn’s hands, feels timeless without leaning into nostalgia. It's a full-circle moment.

There are sets that bang, and there are sets that breathe. This one did the latter. Thoughtful, patient, and beautifully paced, it stands as a highlight of this year’s ADE for those tuned in to detail.

The recording is now available, presented by Underground Frequencies — a snapshot of a moment where space, sound, and story converged.
