Hey Midnighters,

Episode 178 has landed, and it's a heavy one. We kick things off with Marco V and build from there. Pure momentum, no distractions. This week is all about raw energy, built for the late hours when everything else fades away.

You’ll hear powerful grooves from Metodi Hristov and ADRIANNA, a profound moment from Amir Telem, and underground warehouse pressure from Drumsauw. Two exclusive IDs are in the mix, straight from the underground. Are Bee & Naomind deliver something cosmic, Whebba remixes Anahit Vardanyan into something special, and Pan-Pot brings it all home with force.

Big names. Rising talent. A seamless ride made for Midnighters who know where the real pulse is.

Also, ADE in Amsterdam was a blast. So much inspiration, so many good conversations, and even more reason to keep pushing this music forward.

From the first drop, it’s clear you’re in the hands of a producer who knows exactly how to control the room, tension, groove, and release in perfect balance.

Expect hypnotic rhythms, deep layers, and that unmistakable underground pulse that’s made Stijn one of the rising names to watch during Amsterdam Dance Event. It’s a true statement mix, made for long nights, early mornings, and everything in between.

Hey Midnighters,

This week’s episode of The Midnight Project is a full-force ride into the underground. We kick off with a powerful rework by Victor Ruiz that instantly sets the pace, followed by deep and driving selections from NoNameLeft, Bruce Zalcer, and two standout tracks from Alex Ocampo. The flow is tight, the energy is real.

Pan-Pot drops a heavy hitter with “Kaltstrom,” Marco V lands strong on Drumcode, and there’s a standout remix from Tao Andra that flips the mood just right. Space 92 teams up with Malena Narvay for a banging peak-time moment, and we close with a raw techno groove from Melvin Spix and TimeKube that hits like a reset button.

The Midnight Project is about more than just music. It’s for the early risers, the creators, the builders. Whether you’re in the studio, on the move, or hitting the gym before the world wakes up, this show is your space to reset and refocus.

The Midnight Project — Guest Mix by XABI

Dear Midnighters,

After its premiere on DI.FM, I’m happy to share XABI’s guest mix with you on all podcast platforms.

XABI delivers a sound that feels both raw and refined, deep, powerful, and full of emotion. His approach to techno mirrors what our community stands for: movement with meaning, energy with intention.

This mix is perfect for late nights, creative focus, or long drives when you need that steady pulse to carry you forward.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.

See you next week,

Sebastiaan

Dear Midnighters,

You shape this week’s episode. After so many of you reached out about Mind Against’s track from last week, we’re bringing them back to open the show with “Cloud.” It has become a shared favorite among our community - the kind of track that connects us, no matter where we listen.

From there, the mix moves through Daniel Weirdo, Phoenix Movement, and ADRIANNA, carrying that familiar Midnight Project energy: deep, focused, and full of movement. It’s music for both the dancefloor and the quiet moments after, for those who find rhythm in every part of life.

We close with my own track, “Louder,” made in Amsterdam. A reminder that even when life takes us to new places, our soul and spirit stay connected.

See you next week,

Sebastiaan

Hey Midnighters,

You’ll hear his signature style come through in every transition, with support from artists like Eric James, Weston & Teston, and Kos:mo.

This is a set built for movement. Rolling basslines, tight grooves, and a drive that mirrors the lifestyle we live. No noise. No distractions. Just clear intent and powerful techno.

Hey Midnighters,

Episode #175 of The Midnight Project is live and fully charged. Focused energy. Driving rhythms. Fresh releases. This is the sound of a clear mind and a strong body in motion.

We open with My Culture by OZBEK and Zafer Atabey on Drumcode, a powerful statement of identity and sound. Mind Against and Tharat follow with Cloud, a track built on atmosphere and depth. Kos:mo brings us Samsara, blending tradition with movement.

UMEK delivered something special this week. Machina Motus landed in my inbox this Monday, and it’s one of the strongest techno tracks. Clean, direct, and engineered to hit hard.

Also in the mix is my private edit of HI-LO’s REESE, refined for maximum impact. You’ll hear peak-time energy from Joyhauser, Nadai, Estora, and Endica. Every track supports the same lifestyle we live together. Early starts. Intentional movement. Consistent growth.

This is music for running at sunrise. For tuning into your work. For building momentum that lasts.

Hey Midnighters,

This week’s episode of The Midnight Project brings a powerful wave of sound straight from Hamilton, Ontario, as we welcome Canadian DJ and producer Eric James. Known for his dark, emotional style and relentless energy, Eric steps into the spotlight with a guest mix that reflects exactly where he is right now—focused, fearless, and fully immersed in the craft.

After years of building his identity through intense live sets and deep studio work, Eric is now moving into a new era. His latest productions are darker, more refined, and emotionally charged. You’ll hear it in this mix. From the first beat to the final moment, he takes us into a world where gritty textures meet cinematic melodies, and every transition tells part of a larger story.

Hey Midnighters, it’s that time again. Welcome to Episode #174 of The Midnight Project.

This week’s show is a full-throttle ride through raw power and elegant chaos, a carefully shaped mix designed to keep your pulse racing from the first drop to the final fade. I opened the hour with Pablo Say’s “Flights Arcane,” setting the tone for a deep dive into dark grooves, punchy edits, and emotional builds.

You’ll hear Nicole Moudaber teaming up with Castion for a heavy-hitting anthem on Mood Collective, and Adam Beyer’s latest on Drumcode brings that unmistakable sense of journey. The Classic of the Week comes in strong: Space 92’s remix of DJ Jordan’s “Better Things,” a track that still hits like it’s fresh out of the studio.

There’s a unique twist midway through with my private edits of HI-LO’s “REESE” and LUSU’s “BANG THE BOX,” raw, stripped, and built for this moment.

Also on the radar this week: the cosmic force of Joyhauser, the bold tension of Poly Powder & Select Avenue, and a fire closer from Sine2 that lets the bass truly take control.

This episode is loaded with exclusives and fierce selections. Don’t just listen, feel the tracks move through you.
