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:

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.

Midnighters,

It’s Wednesday, 6 AM, and episode 196 of The Midnight Project is live. This week is about momentum, unity, and that shared pulse that connects us wherever you’re tuning in from. When you press play, you are stepping into a global circle of dedicated Midnighters who live and breathe this sound together.

We open strong with Pablo Say’s VIP on Truesoul, setting a deep and driving tone right from the first kick. Bart Skils and Weska lift the intensity with For The Music on Drumcode, a title that says everything about why we gather here every week.

Very early in the episode, you’ll hear something personal. Pablo Say and Anna Tur – My Life in my Private Edit. I reshaped this one especially for you. It is emotional, hypnotic, and built to pull us deeper into the journey as one.

Victor Ruiz and Moreira bring the heat with FREAK OUT on Arcane, while UMEK delivers pure energy with The World of Rave. There is a beautiful tension in Detune Prayer by IN-sane and a cosmic drive in Andromeda by Andres Koller and Lautaro Gabioud.

This week’s Classic of the Week is Twin Freaks by The Gateway Experience. This track has that timeless edge. It still feels dangerous, still feels fresh, and it reminds us where this underground spirit comes from. When it drops, you can feel the roots of the culture that shaped us.

In the final stretch, Aundreja’s Adrenaline pushes the pace higher, GP4S hits hard with The World Has Died, and Marie Vaunt closes the episode with a powerful triple on Arcane: Like a Fool, My Prada, and Never Gonna Stop. That closing sequence is relentless and unapologetic.

The Midnight Project airs every Wednesday at 6 AM and later connects with 60,000 listeners on DI.FM. And don’t forget, Saturday at 6 AM, the exclusive guest mix goes live on my channels. We keep building all week long.

Midnighters, this is more than a radio show. It is a growing global family. Share the episode with a friend who needs this energy. Message me your favorite moment. Let’s expand this movement and keep supporting the artists who shape our sound.

See you next Wednesday at 6 AM.

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 195 is here, and this one hits with pure drive from the very first kick. I built this week’s journey around control, tension, and release, that feeling when the groove locks in and you forget everything else around you. Whether you tuned in on Wednesday at 6 AM CET or caught it later on DI.FM with 60,000 global listeners, you know this one was made to move.

We open strong with Serioes, Legendaer, and Little Duracell’s Take Control (Return Fall Extended Remix), setting the tone with a deep but commanding pulse. Patrick Scuro, The Post Brothers, and The Enveloper keep the pressure high with Oldschool, while Zafer Atabey’s Unrest on EXTIMA brings that hypnotic tension I love to play with early in the set.

Crossbow and GIULIA (IT) take us inward with Someone in the Mirror before YellowHeads unleash Monochrome Dreams in Peak Mode, a serious moment on the dancefloor. Then UMEK drops Kappa One… and you already know that means business.

Mid-set, Salkantay’s Cross The Line and Nicolas Hoop with BCT’s Mental Focus push the groove into overdrive. Victor Ruiz and HNGT’s A New Day on 1001 Recordings lifts the energy beautifully, and Layton Giordani with Camden Cox on Destiny adds that emotional edge that keeps things human inside the machine.

The final stretch is where it gets special. Victor Ruiz and Moreira’s Every Day Arcane flows into Liberthorn’s Digital Dissociative, and then we flip it. L.A. Style’s James Brown is Dead in UMEK’s bootleg form is a nod to the roots, reimagined for now. Annie Hill closes Episode 195 with Legacy, and that title says it all.

This show is about pushing forward while respecting where we came from. New names, established legends, exclusive heat, all in one uninterrupted ride.

Hey Midnighters,

Episode 194 is live, and this week is a true showcase of the artists driving the culture forward right now. Every Wednesday at 6 AM we connect across time zones, and I am proud of the names featured in this one.

We open with Adam Sellouk and Alex Kaspersky on Drumcode. Adam has been on a serious rise, appearing on major lineups worldwide and building a reputation that goes far beyond the studio. KASIA continues to establish herself as one of the strongest forces in the current wave of producers, and her collaboration with KAF3R reflects that growing international presence. Township Rebellion and Fab Massimo represent consistency at the highest level, with Township in particular remaining a staple across global festivals and clubs.

Zafer Atabey is another artist to watch closely. His work on EXTIMA shows how fast new names are stepping into the spotlight. And then there is UMEK. A true pillar of the scene. Decades deep and still leading from the front. His influence on generations of producers is undeniable.

Roddy Lima’s connection with Drumcode continues to strengthen his profile, while MIRA MIRA, VE/RA, and Paula van Klar are part of a powerful new generation claiming their space. It is important to me that The Midnight Project gives that platform to rising artists alongside established names.

Cherrymoon Trax and Thomas Schumacher represent history and legacy. Bringing that 1994 anthem back into rotation is about respect for where this culture began. Thomas has consistently remained relevant through evolution, and that longevity deserves recognition.

Return Fall and Chris Mantanz are building momentum, Shuhandz, NYMESYS, and Nicole Chen show how collaboration fuels growth, and Marie Vaunt continues her unstoppable climb with major international recognition. Closing with Storm and Juliet Fox connects two strong artistic identities, and Juliet remains one of the most respected names on global lineups.

This is what Episode 194 stands for. Established icons, rising talent, and artists who are shaping what we will be hearing in clubs worldwide.

Hey Midnighters,

Welcome back to The Midnight Project. This week’s episode kicks off a special run that’s very close to my heart. Dark, driving, and locked into a deep late-night flow, this one is all about momentum and trust in the groove.

I opened the show with "Ritmolicious," taken from a brand-new four-track EP that UMEK just sent me. This is the first track from that release, and I’ll be featuring the remaining three cuts across the next three episodes of The Midnight Project. No rush, no shortcuts. Each track gets its own moment and its own space exactly where it belongs.

Around that exclusive opener, the energy builds with powerful selections from Emmanuel Miro, Nikoretti, C-Poch, and Return Fall, followed by a timeless, remastered weapon from Monika Kruse and Voodooamt.

The second half of the show keeps the pressure high with music from Rich Coote, German Carrizo, ZEREN, Nico Banfi with Techmo, CHANCEKNOT, YellowHeads, and Ali James, carrying us through to the closing moments. This is what The Midnight Project is about.

Sharing new music directly from the artists, giving it room to breathe, and taking you along for the journey as it unfolds week by week.

Thank you for tuning in, for listening closely, and for being part of this every Wednesday morning. I’ll see you next week at 6 AM for the next chapter.
