Midnighters, this one drops on the day ADE opens. Thirty years of Amsterdam Dance Event, five days of the whole city turning into one long night, and the Wednesday hour lands right in the middle of it. Wherever you are, you get this one first.

This week you’ll hear Drumsauw, Rich Coote, MarAxe, Black Mode, Adam Beyer, Mark Reeve, Norvis, Oliver Huntemann, Stijn Vandensande, Return Fall, D3RAGON, Sisko Electrofanatik, MCHL51, and we close with Francesco Fontanella.

I’ll be in Amsterdam end of the week to meet people, and on Friday 23 October I play...

Midnighters, the Ibiza season is over, but this hour never followed the season anyway. It lands every Wednesday, summer or winter, and every week you’re there for it. That still gets me.

This week you’ll hear Filter Science, Michele Conte, Adam Beyer, Mark Reeve, KØBALTT, Danny Fontana, Armian, Annie Hill, Zafer Atabey, A.D.H.S., Anna Tur, Rein (NL), Gonzalo Cavalli, Martin Kinrus, Kevin de Vries, Juan Elvadin, Yoris, Prospa, Cloonee, Slim Black, Belocca, and we close with VYAPI.

This Thursday, 15 October, Golden is out. A lot of you heard it on th...

Midnighters, this week I'm opening the hour with my own track.

Golden goes first. You heard it in last week's episode before most people did, and since then, it has kept climbing in the promo lists. Now it has a release date: 15 October on IAMT.

The pre-order is open, so if you want it in your collection or your sets the day it lands, this is the moment.

A track only travels when people pass it on, and the same goes for this...

Midnighters, a new hour is here.

I often wonder where you are when you press play. Some of you have told me you listen on the early commute, some at the gym, some in the kitchen, some late at night in the studio when everything else is quiet. From Amsterdam to Buenos Aires to right here on Ibiza, we're all in different places at different times, but we're listening to the same hour. That's what makes this a community and not just a show.

So this week I want to hear from you. Where are...

Midnighters,

This one is personal. I've been playing Groovecreator's music for fifteen years. His records have filled countless hours of this show and many nights behind the decks. Bringing him to you as a guest on this bonus episode feels like a full-circle moment.

He's sharing something special: a live recording from his set at Playground during Burning Man 2026, captured in Black Rock City. If you couldn't be in the desert this year, this is the closest you'll get to dancing in the dust at sunrise.

The set opens with an unreleased Chicago...

The Midnight Project #225

Midnighters,

There are three Faithless records in this hour. That was not the plan when I started building it. The first one went in, the other two followed, and by the time the hour was finished, it was clear the episode had a spine.

We open with "Tarantula" in KASIA's hands. She has had the kind of year on Drumcode that most artists would take a whole career for, and she was the right person to start this one. Khabiar follows with "Monologue" and Cristian Varela on the remix for...

Midnighters,

Sixty thousand of you hear this hour on DI.FM every week, and that is before the podcast feeds, Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube and every replay in between. The real number is bigger than I can count, and it grows in one way only. Someone sends the link to a friend on a night shift, someone drops the show in a group chat after a set, someone plays it in the car with the windows down. That has been the whole engine from the start. If the show gave you something this week, pass it to one...

Midnighters, episode 223 is here.

Sam WOLFE opens the hour with Control Delete on Drumcode, and that label sets the tone for the whole show. Six Drumcode records in sixty minutes, more than I usually give one imprint, but Adam Beyer's A&R has been on a run this year and the selection made the case for itself. After Sam WOLFE I go into Atmos, one of mine, then Gonzalo F with Disconnect, also Drumcode, and Mark Reeve with Everything Done on Monika Kruse's Terminal M. Reeve has been a fixture on both of those labels for years...

Midnighters, thank you for another week of showing up. Here is where the hour goes.

It opens with something that is five days old. Zafer Atabey's Keep It Going landed on TRAGEDIE on 28 August, built by the Turkish producer who co-runs EXTIMA, and it does exactly what the title promises. Rino Cerrone follows with Afterglow, Italian discipline, no wasted parts. Then Avision with How We Do It, a Suara cut from his Simple Things EP. Anthony Cardinale has been quietly carrying the New York techno flag for years and this one still hits like it was made...

Midnighters,

The rooftop session at Tomorrowland was last night. Thank you to everyone who came up. That crowd made the last hour of the night feel like the room was playing itself, and a good part of what you hear this week is what worked up there while it was still warm.

We open on Drumcode. Volkoder and Korolova with "Waiting For You" sets the temperature straight away, no ceremony, just the pull. Tim Kollberg follows on Gain Records with "Pleasure State," which is one of four Gain records in this episode. That was not...

Midnighters,

Episode 220 is here, and this one moves with purpose. We open deep and hypnotic, then build steadily into the kind of driving groove that defines the peak hours. Along the way there is a proper surprise: a remastered take on a nineties classic that some of you will recognise from the very first bars. Hearing it reworked with today's production standards, sitting comfortably next to brand new records, reminds me why this music keeps pulling us back.

The second half leans harder. Rolling percussion, big rooms, open eyes. If you are listening on a...

Midnighters, this hour is for you.

Last week you showed up in numbers that still make me smile, and the best way I know to say thank you is to raise the bar again. So this week we go deep into Drumcode territory. Pan-Pot's Diamonds Head sets the pace on Mobilee, then Adam Beyer takes over the first quarter of the hour twice in a row. Alto with Layton Giordani is rave kissed and written in a major key, built from the same vocal source as The Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds, and Let Loose with DJ Jock...

Midnighters, last week I told you we are bringing the groove back to Ibiza. Then Friday happened. The rooftop filled up, the sun went down over Playa d'en Bossa, and a lot of you told me you came through the show. That is the whole point of this project, and episode 218 picks up exactly where that night left off.

We open with Per Hammar's "Shuriken" on Natura Viva Black. Sharp, stripped, straight into the pocket. Yes, that label again. Three weeks running now they have earned a spot in the show, and this one shows why. Victor...

Midnighters, this one is built on groove.

It is late July on the island. The nights barely cool down and everything I play out here lately has that rolling, physical quality. Episode 217 came together with that in mind.

We open with a KASIA double: "No Competition" with Equinøx on Arcane, then "The Realm," her Drumcode collaboration with Layton Giordani. After that it breathes. Pablo Say's "I'm a Dreamer" is the melodic moment of the hour. If you write in about one track this week, my money is on this one.

Then the g...

Midnighters,

Four Natura Viva Black records in one hour. That was not the plan when I started digging this week, but the label is on a run right now, and it shows. Daniele Papini's Hidden Source opens the show, AKKI and Kaspar hold the middle with Horizon, and DJ Dextro closes everything down with Unbalance. When one imprint bookends your whole set, you pay attention.

In between, Drumcode does what Drumcode does. Rafael Cerato and Charles D bring Right Now, a track I have been hearing everywhere this summer, and Mark Reeve drops a tool...

Midnighters,

We open with Achilles, fresh off the Panic release that Thomas Schumacher and A.D.H.S. dropped on Electric Ballroom last Friday. Four days old and already setting the tone for this hour: Berlin drive, no warm-up, straight in.

From there it keeps rolling. Anna Reusch on Tronic, Pan-Pot with Gray Cosmo on their own Second State, and a Peak Mode mix from YellowHeads that does exactly what the name promises. Listen for the vocal in Linska's Four Four, rhys from the sticks gives the middle of this set an unexpected human moment...

Midnighters,

Three days after the midyear special, we are back to regular programming. No looking back this time, just one hour on where techno is heading in the second half of 2026.

This episode opens on Truesoul and works its way through Terminal M, Drumcode Limited, and Arcane before landing somewhere darker. Listen for the acid line in Arielle Free's Acid Love; it cuts through the middle of this mix like a knife. And Chris Avantgarde's Jester might be the most cinematic six minutes I have played all year.

The closer is my own...

Midnighters,

Six months into 2026, and these are the tracks that never left my bag.

This is a bonus episode of The Midnight Project. One hour of the records that defined my sets in the first half of the year. Recorded in one take from the studio in Ibiza.

You will hear a lot of Terminal M, Drumcode, and Arcane in this one. That was not planned; it is just where the energy lived these past six months. Monika Kruse appears twice, once with a brand new remix and once with a remastered classic...

Midnighters,

This week I've got two of my own in the mix. Transmitter sits in the middle of the hour, and Void comes in near the close. There's also a private edit I made of Rebuke's Along Came Polly, Horatio's rework.

Around them, Truesoul from Selena, Drumcode from Kaufmann and Oliver Huntemann, Adam Beyer with Chris Avantgarde on Hyperreal, and Sam Paganini's label mate Belocca on Mainground.

Midnighters,

What a week. Friday on the Tomorrowland rooftop with Lilly Palmer was everything I hoped it would be. The terrace filled as the sun dropped, the energy built hour by hour, and handing the night over to Lilly was one of those moments that stays with you. Thank you to everyone who came through, said hi, and made it what it was. Nights like that are why I do this.

This week's show carries some of that same weight. It opens with HI-LO and Saint Joshua before Oliver Huntemann brings Brutal on Senso Sounds...

Midnighters,

This week I've got my own remix in the show. My version of Horatio and Angelica de No's Release, sitting right in the middle of the hour. And just before it I play I Am Machine by Thomas Schumacher and Lilly Palmer, four days before she joins me on the rooftop in Playa d'en Bossa this Friday.

There's more Drumcode weight from Bart Skils with Deniz Koyu and from Simina Grigoriu, deep tech from Sound Dissonance, and Pagoda to close the hour out.

Full tracklist and streaming: https://www.1001tracklists.com/source/80...

Midnighters,

Opening with my own Rain, extended version. Teenage Mutants and Tonino come in next with Oedipus Rex on Tragedie, then VNDX with Fabio Salvati on Furrier. Mattia Saviolo's Mindframe and Simina Grigoriu's Frame Control both land on Drumcode, holding the spine of the first half. Funk D'Void and Pig&Dan link up on Cocoon for Overdose, Alex Lentini & STOMP BOXX drop Kraken on 8693 DCLTD, and Dok & Martin go underground with Sound of the Underground. Romain Say and Nelayan bring Transmission on Memoro, Audio State's Generator Room keeps it moving, and Simina Grigoriu returns with Coconut Milk...

Midnighters,

Charles D opens with One Time For Your Mind on Truesoul, and Daxson comes in right behind with Beija on Arcane. Veerus and Mattia Saviolo bring Move Your Body on Drumcode, then YellowHeads team up with Pablo Say on I'll Never Leave You Alone.

Pan-Pot's Portals on Second State sits in the middle and shifts the room. Alex Lentini and STOMP BOXX take two slots on DCLTD, Can't Follow Me and Orbital Adventure, with Anna Sonic's Strobe between them. That pairing was deliberate, their sound has been on heavy rotation in the studio this...

Title: The Midnight Project #208

Description:

Midnighters,

This one is for the gym at 6AM, the highway at midnight, the dancefloor at 3.

Slim Black and Mosher tear it open with Take Me Away. Walks in, owns the room. Sheik from Argentina hits back with Adrenaline, then Audio State out of Romania locks it down on Natura Viva Black.

YellowHeads bring fire in the Peak Mode extended mix on HILOMATIK. Sisko Electrofanatik turns Baby Doc's Twisted Silky into a weapon on Variety. Teenage Mutants land on TRAGEDIE, PAGODA with Ian Thaüe...

Midnighters, this one closes on something I've been waiting to share. My own Let's Go with Bruno Power and Laybe, in the Slim Black extended remix, out May 29th on Redesign Records.

But first, the build to get there. Alex Stein and Victor Ruiz open with Core on Drumcode, exactly the statement I wanted up front. Michele Conte's Bay Baby on 23rd Century DGTL follows, then Martin Costas with Gabriel Gil on Drumcode, and Pablo Say's Repique on Truesoul.

Through the middle, Belocca with The Anahit on Mainground, MT93, and NACCHO on Set About Music...

Midnighters, this one hits from the first bar.

Green Velvet vs Meduza, Pablo Say on Truesoul, Drumcode double from Charles D with Weska and SCRIPT with OKAYVAL. Through the middle: Tao Andra, Dianthe, SAMDMA. Closing on Amber Broos and Nick Acid.

Midnighters, this one moves with intent.

The set opens with Kasablanca and Township Rebellion's It's Chemical on MAHOOL, exactly the kind of statement we needed to start. Charlotte de Witte's Amor with CERES on KNTXT follows, and Karla Blum's The Only One on Arcane Music keeps the grip tight.

Through the middle: Adam Beyer with Mark Reeve on Drumcode, EDRDO's Innocence Is a Myth, Diego Amaro, and Paul Tognelli's Take Control on Mainground. Stephan Dodevsky's rework of Jeff Mills' The Bells lands at the halfway point, a classic for those of us who remember the...

Driving techno set with Eli Brown, Pan-Pot, Sam Wolfe, MATHAME, Monika Kruse, Belocca, and more, recorded on Ibiza for The Midnight Project podcast.

Welcome back, Midnighters. Episode 204 leans into the harder end this week. Eli Brown's "NRG" sets the tone early, Pan-Pot bring "Pacific Dance" mid-set, and Monika Kruse closes it with the Patrik Berg remix of "Morgana." Two LUSU tracks in this one, including "The Great Reset" on TRAGEDIE - been hammering that one all month.

Drop the timestamp of the moment that hit hardest in the comments. Always read them.

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.

KASIA continues to establish herself as one of the strongest forces in the current wave of producers, and her collaboration with KAF3...

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 mo...
