Locklead returns to Up The Stuss with his latest solo outing, ‘Unison’.

Whether flying solo or linking with partner in crime Chris Stussy as one-half of Across Boundaries, in-demand DJ/producer and live act Locklead continues to shape his take on contemporary house music. Having crafted a reputation as a go-to name for many with his sophisticated yet club-ready sound, his releases on Up The Stuss have showcased his refined ear and dancefloor instincts to their fullest. Now, the Utrecht-based artist is back as he adds to his debut album ‘Square One’ and the hazy ‘Moon’ with a new solo EP on the label, delivering a four-track selection that encapsulates his signature style — deep, hypnotic, and brimming with energy.

‘Unison’ sees Locklead flex his production prowess across a quartet of distinct yet interconnected cuts, each showcasing a different facet of his ever-evolving sound. A long-awaited anthem that has been the subject of ID requests for months, the title track brings a vibrant and immersive groove, balancing intricate textures with rolling energy, while ‘Apollo’ is a high-octane affair laced with raw drums and punchy stabs, primed for peak-time impact. ‘Mystic Nights’ ventures into dreamier realms, guided by rich pads and fluid basslines that create a hypnotic flow, before rounding things out with ‘STFUATYXP’, a dose of cosmic funk with shimmering synths and crisp percussion, perfect for moving those late-night and early hour dancefloors.

Nearly a year on from their Hot Creations debut with ‘I Don’t Need That’, Derby(UK)-based DJ pairing Deltech return to Jamie Jones’ beloved imprint with ‘Funnnk’ on 28th March. Since forming in 2019, Deltech have built a reputation for slick, groove-driven productions, earning multiple Beatport #1’s and releasing on imprints like Danny Howard’s Nothing Else Matters and Mark Knight’s Toolroom. Fresh off their Repopulate Mars debut with ‘Groove With It’, Deltech now return to Hot Creations with their second release of 2025, ‘Funnnk’, pushing their studio craft even further. 

“It feels amazing to be back on Hot Creations after the success of our debut EP last summer. We’re really excited about the Funnk EP and can’t wait to see this one rock the floors! Big thanks to Jamie and the crew for believing in us and having us back on!” - Deltech 
Title cut ‘Funnnk’ stays true to its title with a swinging bassline and a production that’s light and groovy, paired with techy beats and crisp cymbals.

A seasoned songwriter with credits on major productions, including Rauw Alejandro’s global hit ‘El Efecto’, which has amassed over 700 million streams, Nigel has honed a solid foundation for his artistic journey.

Lost inside the rhythm, found inside the beat.
Hooked on Pulse is a hypnotic descent into minimal techno obsession – where every breath becomes bass and every heartbeat becomes groove.
