The Midnight Project #092

Dear Midnighters,As dawn breaks this Wednesday, I'm excited to share Episode #092 of The Midnight Project. 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.Diving into the heart of this episode, let's highlight a unique bootleg that stands out for its ingenuity and connection to the roots of electronic music: "Pump Up The Jam." This track is a masterful reinterpretation of Technotronic's iconic anthem by the legendary UMEK. UMEK bridges generations of dance music by infusing the classic with a fresh techno twist, offering us a version as compelling on today's dance floors as the original was in the late '80s. It's a reminder of the enduring power of a great track and the creativity that thrives within the techno scene.In addition to UMEK's stellar contribution, we explored "Rotten 2.0" by Oliver Huntemann, a journey through dark, driving beats, and "Power Of The Sultan" by Joaquín Dassie, a unique blend of traditional sounds and modern techno. I will not forget to mention a piece from my heart, "Madrid" – a track that captures the essence of vibrant nightlife and emotional depth, released on Redesign Records.This episode is a vibrant showcase of the talent and diversity within the techno community. From the depths of Huntemann's complex textures to Dassie's cultural fusion and the innovative bridge between past and present by UMEK, each track is a chapter in the larger story of techno.I encourage you to immerse yourself in the experience, let the music guide your week, and remember to explore each track further on 1001 Tracklists. Don't forget to subscribe to The Midnight Project to stay on this journey with us, week after week.Until we meet again in sound, let the rhythm be your guide.Warmest regards,Sebastiaan Hooft
