  • The Midnight Project #191
    Jan 28 2026

    Midnighters,

    Episode 191 of The Midnight Project is live.

    As this one goes out, I am almost home. I am on the ferry from Barcelona to Ibiza, somewhere between the mainland and the island, while the show launches and connects us all at the same time. Different locations, same moment, same frequency.

    If you want to dive straight into the music and see what is played in this episode, the full tracklist is already waiting for you here:

    This week you will hear music from artists like Mark Reeve, Luca Marchese, Teenage Mutants, Belocca, Pig&Dan, and Felix Reichelt, alongside many others shaping the sound right now. The Classic of the Week comes from UMEK, a reminder of how certain records stay timeless and continue to connect generations.

    After all the Italian pasta and bread in France, I am officially craving a reset. If any of you have strong vegan ramen recipes, the kind you actually cook and come back to, send them my way. I trust your taste.

    When I am back, I am locking myself in the studio to finish six new tracks for my Tomorrowland 2026 residency. That next chapter is already taking shape, and I am looking forward to sharing more when the time is right.

    That is what this project is about. Music bringing us together, week after week, no matter where we are in the world. Episode 191 is a straight selection. No distractions, just the flow of the show and the artists behind it. Let it run, let it breathe, and make it part of your Wednesday ritual.

    Thank you for being part of this journey and for showing up every single week. Your energy travels further than you know.

    See you next Wednesday at 6 AM.

    Sebastiaan

  • The Midnight Project #190
    Jan 21 2026

    Midnighters, welcome back to The Midnight Project. Sebastiaan here and Episode 190 is ready to pull you straight into the signal.

    This episode is all about pressure, drive, and forward motion. A focused journey where every transition is built to keep the energy moving and the tension alive. No distractions, just a locked groove from start to finish that stays true to the core of the sound.

    We open with my own Transmitter to set the tone, and right now that track is available as a free download for now. If you want to grab it, head straight here:

    https://soundcloud.com/sebastiaan-hooft/transmitter-original-mix-free-dl

    From there we dive into serious momentum with Space 92 and Mark Reeve bringing power early on. The flow deepens with strong selections from Ivox Garcia, Sheik (AR) & Easy Toys, and Giancarlo Di Chiara, before lifting into rave territory with the Teenage Mutants remix.

    The pressure keeps building with Fabio Salvati, Lautaro Ibañez, and Yuuta driving things forward. Patrik Widmer and Matteo Vitanza raise the intensity in the final stretch, leading into a massive late moment from Charlotte de Witte. GENESI closes Episode 190 with a relentless finish that stays with you.

    You can find the full tracklist and explore every record from this episode right here:

    Thank you for tuning in, supporting the show, and keeping this movement alive week after week. Your energy means everything.

    Stay locked, stay connected, and I will catch you in the next transmission.

    Sebastiaan

  • The Midnight Project #189
    Jan 14 2026

    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.

    Thank you for being part of this journey every single week. Your energy keeps The Midnight Project alive.

    See you in the night,

    Sebastiaan
