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](https://www.di.fm/shows/the-midnight-project?ref=sebastiaanhooft.com), the second hour takes off with an exclusive guest mix from [Slim Black](https://www.instagram.com/slimblackdj/?ref=sebastiaanhooft.com). 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](https://www.instagram.com/p/DNnNZbOi3yL/?img%5Findex=1&ref=sebastiaanhooft.com), 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.

### 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](https://www.labelradar.com/labels/RedesignRecords/portal?ref=sebastiaanhooft.com) and connect with you.

Thanks for being part of The Midnight Project every week.
