A full room, Rocco's farewell party, and a set that was supposed to be one hour and ended up running thirty minutes after closing. The dancefloor kept asking for more, and this recording is the full ride. Shout-out to the engineers of Paradiso! Rocco, thank you for asking me to play your farewell. It was an honor to soundtrack your goodbye, and I hope this set takes you right back to that night wherever you go next. Paradiso, thank you for having me. Playing under that roof in Amsterdam is always something special. And to everyone who was there and danced until the lights came on: this one is for you. Sebastiaan
September on the island is the month a lot of us wait for. The crowds thin out, the nights stay warm, and the people still here are the ones who came for the music. This hour leans into that. We open with brand new Drumcode. Volkoder and Korolova released "Waiting For You" at the end of August, their first collaboration and a debut on the label for both of them, built around a recurring vocal hook and a synth riff at 128. It carries melody and drive at the same time, which makes it a good door into the show. Rafael Cerato's "Cash" on Arcane Music follows, then Skytech's remix of ANOTR and 54 Ultra's "Talk to you" gets a short, sharp run before Andre Palms and Lahox take over with "Vibrations" on dFunk. Oliver Heldens and Will Clarke's "Lost In Music" on Spinnin' Deep is the first proper lift, and then it gets interesting: Bart Skils and Weska reworking Soul Central's "Strings Of Life / Un Amore Supremo" for Drumcode. Derrick May's original is one of the most remixed records in dance music, and most attempts add nothing. This one earns its place. The middle of the show belongs to Late London. Three tracks, all from the same "On The Case" EP that landed on Mindshake in August, spread across the set rather than stacked: "Double The Time," the J. Park collaboration "On The Case," and "TIME2WORK." Mindshake has had a strong summer, and this release is a big part of why. Around them, Morab, Altera, and Paul Harris with "Take A Trip" on AETERNA. Robag Wruhme's "Olahni" on Cocoon takes the temperature of the room down without losing anybody. Coco Bevan's "Move Like That" on Apples & Oranges and Sammy Dean's "Play The Game" on Wh0 Worx bring it back up. The last stretch opens out. Emanuel Satie and Bruno Roth's "Touch" runs long and does real work, then The Other Side's "Sinner" holds the deepest passage of the show. I close on my own, "Tree Pose." See you next month.

Two hours of pure atmosphere on the Tomorrowland Rooftop, under his alias Seb_h. Sebastiaan Hooft opens deep and warm, with rolling basslines and hypnotic percussion that draw the crowd in from the first track. As the sun sets, he builds the energy with precision, serving the floor. With residency experience alongside international headliners and a weekly radio audience of 60k+ listeners, he brings both craft and crowd to every booking.
Ibiza family, August is here, and the island is running at full temperature. This one is for you. I made this episode for exactly this moment of the season: one hour of the Seb_h sound, warm and groovy tech house for open air, golden light, and dancefloors that don't want the night to end. Wherever you are listening, on the beach, in the car, or getting ready for the night, this hour is yours. I have something special for you this month. You are the first to hear "Playa", my brand-new collaboration with Belgian Tomorrowland artist Crazy Sir-G, premiered exclusively in this episode. It comes from the same place this whole show comes from: sun, rhythm, and being completely present in the moment. Let me know what you think when you hear it; I read every reply. And if you are on the island: the Tomorrowland Rooftop Sessions continue this month with two nights above Playa d'en Bossa, Friday, August 14 and Friday, August 28, from sunset into the night. Come dance with us, come say hi. Meeting you on that rooftop is my favorite part of the season. All dates and updates: https://ra.co/dj/sebastiaanhooft Recorded in Es Cubells, Ibiza. Turn it up, close your eyes, and you're here.
