Hey Midnighters,Episode 183 is overflowing with pure fire. This week, Drumcode takes center stage. It’s one of those rare episodes where the label’s presence is undeniable, driving the energy and shaping the pulse of the entire hour.We kick off with AdamK x Vikthor ft. MC Stretch and their commanding “Silence + The Sound,” setting the tone for a Drumcode-heavy journey featuring Enzo Monza, Alex Stein, A.D.H.S., HOF, and a killer close from HI-LO with “NYC TO AMSTERDAM.” And of course, Adam Beyer himself delivers with “We Don’t Say Please,” a track that hits with authority.But it’s not just about Drumcode, there are key moments outside the label that balance the set: Shay De Castro’s “Go Insane” on Set About Music brings tension, and the Drumsauw remix of “Algorhythm” by Derek Ryan & ManyNames goes dark and deep.One standout flashback: Cosmic Gate’s “Exploration Of Space.” Timeless, and still so effective.This episode is for the real heads, loaded with exclusives, crafted for movement, and meant to be played loud.👉 https://www.1001tracklists.com/source/80bhhv/the-midnight-project/index.htmlThanks for tuning in every week.
