The Midnight Project #059

Summer is here, and I hope you're making the most of the longer days, warm sunshine, and vibrant energy this season brings. With festivals and vacations in full swing, I've curated an immersive episode of The Midnight Project to be your perfect summer companion wherever your adventures take you.

Chart-Topping News

Before we dive into this week's beats, I have some exciting news! My bootleg for "Bleckentrommel" has hit #50 on the charts. Your support has been phenomenal, and I can't express how grateful I am!

Introducing: The Midnight Project 059

This episode of The Midnight Project starts with the powerful track "Running From Yourself" by SAM WOLFE and Amye, a tune that echoes the boundless spirit of summer. As we journey further, the infectious energy of "Never Know" by RooneyNasr, and Forehand encapsulates the essence of the summer's thrilling unpredictability. In an exciting twist, we're taking a detour to another dimension with Kamil Van Derson's "Into The Galactic," a captivating gem from Shodan Records. Check out the full tracklists on 1001 Tracklists, and don't forget to tune in to Digitally Imported at 16.00 (CET).

The Summer Chronicles

A head of lettuce for lunch? You can have that in Madrid. We will live there from next summer and scout where this summer. I'm curious about anyone who lives there now or has connections in the music industry.

As you immerse in the music, let me share that I'll be trading city noise for the peaceful symphony of the Dutch forest. Amidst nature's serenity, I'll craft new tunes that will soon find their way to your ears. Additionally, this August is taking me on a train to Madrid, a city I plan to call home next year. Exploring new areas, embracing its vibrant culture, and scouting the perfect place to live is on my itinerary. Every step is a new story, and I can't wait to bring you along on this journey. Are you living in Madrid? Let me know; I'd love to know how we can support each other!

Health Tip: Move to the Music

Summer bodies are created with techno. Like in the ring at Fight Academy in Amstelveen, I played some sets for their charity events and did fantastic fitness sessions with their founder.

Music isn't just for your ears but your whole body! Research indicates that high-tempo music, around 120-140 beats per minute, can boost your workout endurance by up to 15%. It also serves as a pleasant distraction from any exercise-related discomfort. So next time you're gearing up for a workout, ensure you have your techno playlist ready.
