About this episode

In this episode, Sebastiaan explores the future of techno music in the second half of 2026 with a curated mix of tracks.

Midnighters, Three days after the midyear special, we are back to regular programming. No looking back this time, just one hour on where techno is heading in the second half of 2026. This episode opens on Truesoul and works its way through Terminal M, Drumcode Limited, and Arcane before landing somewhere darker. Listen for the acid line in Arielle Free's Acid Love; it cuts through the middle of this mix like a knife. And Chris Avantgarde's Jester might be the most cinematic six minutes I have played all year. The closer is my own track Paws. Yes, it was in yesterday's best-of, too. It is out now, and I stand behind it, so this week it gets the last word. New episode every week. If one track in this hour moves you, tell me which one. That is how I build these sets.
