Hey Midnighters,169 is a deep dive into the underground. This week’s mix is designed for focus, momentum, and that steady push forward. Whether you’re running, working, or just taking a moment to reset. It’s about tuning in to the energy that keeps you sharp and moving with purpose.Next month I’ll be in Turin, spending two days in the studio working with producers on new music. Then in October, it’s Amsterdam Dance Event. I’ll be there to connect with producers and labels, building the next phase of The Midnight Project from the inside. These quiet, behind-the-scenes moments often lead to the loudest breakthroughs.This episode features standout tracks from Jay Lumen, Lisa May, and the powerful pairing of Mark Reeve and Joyhauser. I also want to spotlight Ken Ishii. A true innovator from Japan, Ken has been shaping techno since the early nineties with a sound that still feels futuristic. His presence in this mix is a reminder of how deep and global our scene really is.👉 Full tracklist here: https://www.1001tracklists.com/source/80bhhv/the-midnight-project/index.htmlThanks for locking in. See you next week.Sebastiaan

Emison at The Midnight Project
Midnighters!Proud to welcome Emison to The Midnight Project.I’ve been keeping an eye on his sound for a while now — raw, hypnotic, and straight from the underground. When we connected on our track, Demonic, it clicked immediately. He’s got that rare instinct for tension and groove that drives a dancefloor without letting go.This guest mix is precisely that: no filler, just full-pressure techno—a glimpse into the world of a Sicilian artist who lives and breathes the club.Hope you enjoy it as much as I did putting this collaboration together.More to come.Sebastiaan
