The Midnight Project #122
After incredible days in Ibiza, I’m excited to be back in Valencia, fully recharged and ready to bring you the latest episode of The Midnight Project. This week’s show is packed with fresh techno beats that will elevate your energy. From the soulful sounds of Groovecreator to my private edit of Gorge’s We Start Again, an hour of music will transport you to another level.

This episode opens with Groovecreator’s Mind and Soul, a track that immediately sets the mood. It’s followed by the massive collaboration between Paul van Dyk and The YellowHeads on Back 2 The FVTR—a tune combining the best trance and industrial techno. As a highlight, I’ve included my private edit of Gorge’s We Start Again, adding my signature touch to this masterpiece. The full tracklist and players are available at www.1001tracklists.com/source/80bhv/the-midnight-project/index.html.
Ibiza Vibes
Ibiza was nothing short of magical. We had the chance to explore some incredible spots and even found a beautiful house that caught our eye. One of the trip's highlights was celebrating with our friend Donaes with an unforgettable pre-birthday dinner. There’s something about the island’s energy that brings out the best in people, and it was a joy to share those moments with close friends and fellow music producers.
In Session Ibiza October
While in Ibiza, I also produced a fresh In Session Ibiza. This set reflects the island’s unique vibe—deep, powerful, and full of life. If you haven’t heard it yet, check it out at www.1001tracklists.com/source/67zhq43/sebastiaan-hoofts-in-session-ibiza/index.html. It’s the perfect soundtrack for when you need to feel that Balearic energy wherever you are.
Culture and Community
Writing my book Redesign taught me that culture shapes businesses and our lives. In one part of the book, I talk about how the generosity and community spirit I encountered during my travels, particularly in places like Texas, opened my eyes to the impact of giving without expecting anything in return. It’s a lesson in how helping others without an immediate benefit can lead to stronger connections and a more profound sense of fulfillment. Whether you’re building a business or navigating your personal life, embracing a culture of generosity can shift everything in a positive direction.
As I mentioned in Redesign:
“The most successful entrepreneurs are those who understand that their success is not about what they can take from others, but about how they can give and create value.”
Private Edit Coming Friday
Please mark your calendars because my private edit of Gorge’s We Start Again will drop on Soundcloud this Friday. It’s a track close to my heart, and I can’t wait for you all to hear it.
Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Let’s keep spreading the love for techno!
