Hey Midnighters,

It’s Wednesday and Episode 189 of The Midnight Project is out now. This one is all about momentum and atmosphere. Deep pressure, rolling grooves, and that slow-burning intensity that keeps you locked in from start to finish.

I open the show with Expanse by GENESI on Arcane, setting the mood instantly. From there it keeps evolving with driving selections by Giancarlo Di Chiara, Matteo Vitanza, Nikoretti, and the timeless Player Three remaster. Heavy underground energy comes in with Demon Noise and Zafer Atabey, followed by hypnotic movement from Enveak and Mazdem, plus raw attitude from Momola and Estora. Marie Vaunt brings serious fire on Arcane, Rob Robsen and Paula van Klar with Spartaque push the pressure higher, and Thomas T. takes things into darker territory.

Big shout out to Bruno Power. Bruno is a world on its own. That Opus bootleg landing in my DM made my Sunday night, and closing the show with it just felt right.

Hey Midnighters,

This week’s episode of The Midnight Project hits differently. Pure drive, no distractions, and a profound opening statement to set the tone for the whole journey. From the first beat, this one is built for big systems and that shared moment when the energy locks in.

I’m excited to say I’ve secured a very special festival edition of Adam Beyer’s brand-new track, and you’re hearing it right here. This version is made to explode in front of massive crowds, and opening the show with it felt like the only right move. From there, the pressure stays on with heavy hitters and forward-thinking cuts from Twins Project, Tini Gessler, Kate Hex, and a strong run of Arcane releases that keep the momentum rolling.

The middle of the mix dives deep with A.D.H.S. & Jose Bonetto and Teenage Mutants alongside Technicism, before pushing into raw, driving territory with Anna Reusch and a standout Robert Hood remix for FJAAK. I closed things out with DJ Rush and Deas, because sometimes you need that final punch to seal the deal.

This episode is all about movement, tension, and that unmistakable festival-ready energy, even when you’re listening in the dark.

You’ll find the complete tracklist waiting for you here:

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 187 of The Midnight Project hits different. This is a high speed mix, released on the final Wednesday of 2025, and it is packed with momentum from start to finish. No slowing down, no looking back, just pure drive as we close the year together.

This episode brings together some of the most streamed techno of 2025 alongside fresh cuts and exclusives. From Ailen DC opening the door to an alternate universe, to Eli Brown, Adrianna, Bart Skils with Heerhorst, and the unmistakable pull of Adam Beyer and HNTR, the energy stays locked in. Arcane makes a huge mark throughout the mix with tracks from Miane, Matt Guy, TigerBlind, Nelayan, and Marie Vaunt, shaping a sound that defined the year.

There is a personal thread running through this one as well. You will hear my remix of Raving Adventure by Horatio and Pagano, plus my extended remix of Chrome by bismark and Sygma, both built for speed, tension, and late night intensity. Space 92 hits hard twice, Joyhauser and Drunken Kong keep it raw, and the closing moments feel like a final statement before the year flips.

Dive into the full tracklist and relive the journey right here:

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 186 is locked and loaded, and this one hits with a deep, driving flow from the very first minute. I shaped this episode as a proper late-night journey. Hypnotic, raw, and constantly moving forward. No fillers, just pure energy built for the dark hours and long rides.

We open with Alex Ocampo setting the tone with Archean, pulling you straight into that underground mindset. From there, the pressure keeps building with Sisko Electrofanatik, Hollen, and Karla Blum, before Oscar Sanchez and A.Paul push the momentum even further. Kulage and Melvin Spix bring that gritty rave edge, while ADRIANNA and Shoal keep things tense and rolling.

There is a massive moment with KAS:ST’s 2084 in the Space 92 remix, a real hands-in-the-air underground weapon, followed by Procombo’s relentless groove. Monika Kruse and Adam Beyer take us back with a timeless remix, and I close the episode with my own track, Madrid, straight from Redesign Records, to seal the journey.

As always, the full tracklist is waiting for you. Dive into it, save your favorites, and support the artists keeping this scene alive:

Hey Midnighters,

Sebastiaan here, welcome back to another high-voltage ride with The Midnight Project.

Episode 185 is built for pure momentum. Driving grooves, big hooks, and that straight-to-the-dancefloor energy from the first kick to the final drop.

We kick things off with Oscar L x Charles D – Lift Me Up on Drumcode, then go deeper into the shadows with Teenage Mutants x Tocadisco – In the Dark. Drunken Kong brings the grit with Give It To Me, and Tao Andra keeps it locked in with Unity. From there, it is pressure all the way: Belocca – Burn Me Down, the wild Eli Brown x HNTR link-up gImmE gImmE (feat. Rome Fortune), and that massive Victor Ruiz x Ignacio Arfeli – Ascend moment. The second half stays ruthless with Manta Rey – Dancefloor Command, Anna Reusch – Bass Down Low, Nicole Moudaber x Zlata – Report to the Dancefloor, Audio State & Melvin Spix – Departure, and Pan-Pot – Kaltstrom, before we close into the unknown with Akona – Outworld.

Key artists featured this week

Oscar L, Charles D, Teenage Mutants, Tocadisco, Drunken Kong, Tao Andra, Belocca, Eli Brown, HNTR, Victor Ruiz, Ignacio Arfeli, Manta Rey, Anna Reusch, Nicole Moudaber, Zlata, Audio State, Melvin Spix, Pan-Pot, Akona.

Hey Midnighters,

Welcome to episode 184 of The Midnight Project. This is another Drumcode heavy episode, packed with momentum, raw energy, and tracks that hit right where they should.

We start strong with Mark Reeve and LUSU setting the tone, followed by heavy hitters from Belocca, Kaufmann, and Nicolas Taboada. The Drumcode fire keeps burning with Mattia Saviolo, JackRock, and METODI, all delivering that signature drive we live for.

Tobin Delroy’s remix by Nick Schwenderling adds a unique twist, while Joyhauser brings the bass pressure. Ida Engberg’s Radiate brings a more profound moment before Acina closes the episode with hard techno I Call You.

Also, I’m excited to share that my residency for Tomorrowland 2026 is confirmed. Come to Ibiza for the rooftop sessions—we're taking the vibe even higher.

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 183 is overflowing with pure fire. This week, Drumcode takes center stage. It’s one of those rare episodes where the label’s presence is undeniable, driving the energy and shaping the pulse of the entire hour.

We kick off with AdamK x Vikthor ft. MC Stretch and their commanding “Silence + The Sound,” setting the tone for a Drumcode-heavy journey featuring Enzo Monza, Alex Stein, A.D.H.S., HOF, and a killer close from HI-LO with “NYC TO AMSTERDAM.” And of course, Adam Beyer himself delivers with “We Don’t Say Please,” a track that hits with authority.

But it’s not just about Drumcode, there are key moments outside the label that balance the set: Shay De Castro’s “Go Insane” on Set About Music brings tension, and the Drumsauw remix of “Algorhythm” by Derek Ryan & ManyNames goes dark and deep.

One standout flashback: Cosmic Gate’s “Exploration Of Space.” Timeless, and still so effective.

This episode is for the real heads, loaded with exclusives, crafted for movement, and meant to be played loud.

Thanks for tuning in every week. Let’s keep this movement alive.

Perfect — here's your Saturday post for Sagia’s guest mix, now with a personal touch and nods to her tracklist, all while keeping it tight and in your authentic tone:

Midnighters,

This morning’s guest mix comes from Sagia, and it’s a journey.

She opened with her own instrumental remix of Games and never let go from there. With originals like Destinations and Mojave, Sagia brought a sound that’s both melodic and driving, full of pressure and release. Big-room moments from Adam Beyer and Chris Avantgarde, alongside her own unreleased cut Can’t Control It, made this one feel personal and powerful.

A perfectly crafted session to elevate your Saturday.

With love and sound,

Sebastiaan
