## Resource

Midnighters, Six months into 2026, and these are the tracks that never left my bag. This is a bonus episode of The Midnight Project. One hour of the records that defined my sets in the first half of the year. Recorded in one take from the studio in Ibiza. You will hear a lot of Terminal M, Drumcode, and Arcane in this one. That was not planned; it is just where the energy lived these past six months. Monika Kruse appears twice, once with a brand new remix and once with a remastered classic that still destroys rooms 25 years after it first did. Some records earn their place in a midyear list by being new. Others earn it by refusing to age. Full disclosure: two of my own tracks made the cut, Paws and a private edit of HI-LO's REESE. Selector's privilege. Judge for yourself whether they belong. If this mix does something for you, share it with one person who needs a proper hour of techno. That is worth more to me than any algorithm. Sebastiaan This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy
