Hey Midnighters,Episode 172 is live and packed with artists who are shaping the pulse of techno right now.We kick things off with the always-evolving Avis Vox, followed by Victor Ruiz and Mila Journée, two powerhouses consistently pushing quality through top-tier labels. HI-LO also returns to the show this week. I played this exact track last Saturday at Tomorrowland Ibiza, and it was the moment of the night. People came up asking for the ID. Pure connection on the dancefloor.SVMMA, IOA, and Kate Hex bring fresh fire, each building their own unique imprint on the scene. Reaktive joins us with undeniable energy, and Amber Broos teams up with Bermio for a standout moment. Marie Vaunt and KURA, Nick Acid and Miss N-Traxx, and Marika Rossa all bring serious attitude, keeping things intense and raw.We close this journey with something special. It’s a personal edit I made of a Marco Faraone edit from a Carlo Lio original. That’s three layers deep, and it’s been a powerful closer in my sets lately.👉 Full playlist here: https://www.1001tracklists.com/source/80bhhv/the-midnight-project/index.htmlThanks for tuning in and being part of the Project.
