The Midnight Project #169

The Midnight Project #169

Good morning! Episode #169 is live. It’s built for movement, focus, and getting in the zone fast. Press play, lock in, and let the energy carry you.

The Midnight Project
Sebastiaan Hooft, DJ and author of Redesign, lives in Ibiza, crafting house and techno sets inspired by the island’s energy.

This week’s episode takes a journey through the newest, rawest, and high-impact techno with a purpose. Expect streamlined, powerful productions from artists like Jay Lumen, Lisa May, Mark Reeve & Joyhauser, as well as the legendary Ken Ishii. These are tracks that don’t waste time; perfect for deep work, training, or a reset when you need to shift gears fast.

Slim Black returns to The Midnight Project

At 4 PM (CET) on DI.FM Techno Channel, the second hour takes off with an exclusive guest mix from Slim Black. His set is clean, focused, and full of intent. It also ends with a first listen to his upcoming remix of 'Let’s Go,' which we envisioned while training together at Ben's Gym in the Ibiza marina.

Also this week, Quote Magazine ran a special on Ibiza, featuring a portrait of Caroline, Bo, and me by Martijn Steiner Lovisa. The photo reflects the quieter side of our island life, the one that inspires, grounds, and fuels the creative process. More here.

Looking ahead

In September, I’ll be in Turin for three days, working closely with producers.
In October, I’ll be attending the Amsterdam Dance Event, where I'll connect with labels and artists.

If you're a producer and will be in either city, reach out. I’d love to hear your demos and connect with you.

Thanks for being part of The Midnight Project every week.
