    Today, I want to explore some incredible talents shaping our playlist this week. We're all about exploring the stories behind the music and the artists, diving into their worlds, and understanding what drives their creativity.

    We started with Rebūke's dynamic approach to techno through his extended remix of deadmau5's "Not Exactly" Rebūke infuses classic tracks with his unique energy and vision. His remix brings a fresh vibe to a beloved track, ensuring it resonates with new listeners and long-time fans.

    Midway through the show, you heard my take on "Eternum" by Slim Black. This remix showcases a fusion of deep, driving basslines and atmospheric synths, a signature of my personal touch in music. It's about connecting with the soul of the original and enhancing it with a depth that complements the hypnotic essence of techno.

    Closing the episode, Ida Engberg applied her rhythmic prowess and melodic intuition to Azzecca's "I've Been Waiting." A stalwart in the techno scene, her remix is both introspective and invigorating, encapsulating the spirit of the original while elevating it to new heights.

    I'd love to hear which track resonated with you the most. Drop a comment with your favorite or recommend an artist you'd like to hear in a future show. Let's keep building this community, sharing the love for music, and making every Midnighter feel right at home.

This week's journey through sound is not just another episode; it's a testament to the transformative power of techno, featuring tracks that each tell a story, evoke an emotion, and transport us to another dimension.

    Hello Midnighters,

    It's Sebastiaan Hooft here, welcoming you to another pulsating episode of The Midnight Project. As always, we're diving into a unique blend of techno tracks, perfect for your workouts, drives, or those moments of reflection. This week, we've got a lineup that's particularly close to my heart, featuring incredible talents and mind-bending tunes.

    First, discuss André Pillar's "Acid Language (Original Mix)." André's knack for integrating classic acid-house elements with modern techno is brilliant. His ability to create a soundscape that's both nostalgic and forward-thinking is what makes this track a perfect opener for our journey.

    Then, Slim Black's " Eternum " is coming out on Redesign Records this month. Slim's approach to techno is deeply rooted in minimalism, yet the intensity in his tracks is hard to ignore. With its haunting melodies and relentless rhythm, "Eternum" is a testament to his skill in creating a powerful narrative through music.

    A special mention goes to the "Raving Adventure (Sebastiaan Hooft Remix)" by Horatio and Pagano. Remixing this track was a journey in itself. Horatio and Pagano's original work provided a fantastic canvas, and I aimed to add my twist while respecting the essence of their creation. It's always exhilarating to work on remixes, and I hope this one resonates with you as much as it does with me.

    Lastly, let's not forget "Neutral (Original Mix)" - a piece from yours truly. Crafting this track was a reflective process, delving into techno's deeper, more introspective side. It represents balance and calm amidst our often chaotic lives.

    Remember, the full tracklist is available on 1001 Tracklists. I encourage you to explore the rest of the tracks and the artists behind them. Each one brings something unique to the table, contributing to the rich tapestry of this week's show.

    As we journey through these soundscapes together, I hope you find a piece of yourself in the music. Subscribe to The Midnight Project for your weekly dose of techno, and let's keep this journey going.

    Until next week,
