Hi, Midnighters! Welcome to another electrifying episode of The Midnight Project. As the sun rises on a new Wednesday, we're diving headfirst into the pulsating heart of techno, where every beat tells a story, and every track takes us on a journey. This week's selection is packed with powerful productions that will resonate through your soul and fuel your day, whether you're hitting the gym or the road or need that perfect soundtrack for reflection. We kick things off with Metodi Hristov's "Build To Destroy." If you've been following the underground techno scene, you'll know that Metodi never fails to deliver tracks that push the boundaries. "Build To Destroy" is a prime example of his ability to fuse dark, driving beats with intricate layers, creating a powerful and immersive sound. This track sets the tone for an episode about energy and emotion. Next in line is "Despiertate" by the ever-enigmatic Maya Mar. This rising star has been making waves with her hypnotic rhythms and deep, pulsating basslines. "Despiertate" perfectly represents her ability to transport listeners into another dimension, making her a force to be reckoned with in the global techno landscape. Keep an eye on Maya Mar—we can't wait to see where she goes next. I’m particularly excited to feature Hans J's "Eleventh Floor," which is coming soon on my label, Redesign Records. Hans J has consistently delivered quality tracks, and this one is no exception. "Eleventh Floor" captures that deep, driving energy we all crave, with a groove that’s impossible to resist. Supporting and releasing tracks from such talented artists on Redesign Records is always a pleasure. Another highlight is "Trombe," a collaboration between Mila Journée, Olivier Giacomotto, and Kiko. The result is nothing short of spectacular when these three talents come together. Mila Journée's deep, emotional style blends seamlessly with the seasoned expertise of Olivier and Kiko, creating an atmospheric and intense track. This is techno at its finest, a true journey into the sound. As always, you can check out the full tracklist at 1001 Tracklists. I’d love to hear your favorite track of the episode, so don’t be shy—drop me a comment, and let’s keep the conversation going! And, of course, if you know a fellow techno lover who hasn’t joined the ranks of the Midnighters yet, share the love and bring them into the fold.
