After two acclaimed releases on Up The Stuss, ‘Sense Of Future’ in 2023 and ‘Synergy’ in 2024, Across Boundaries, the collaborative project of Chris Stussy and Locklead, return with their most expansive and fully realised statement to date. Set for release on 5th September 2025, ‘Sakura’ brings an eight-track, double vinyl package oﬀering a deep dive into the duo’s evolving partnership, showcasing a sound that is as intricate and emotive as it is dancefloor-focused.

The making of the EP reflects an organic approach, with the pair taking to the Dutch wilderness for a series of weekend-long studio retreats, temporarily transforming remote natural spaces into creative sanctuaries. These escapes, surrounded by forests and wildlife, allowed the pair to step away from traditional studio environments and reconnect with the pure essence of their music. This intentional isolation sparked fresh ideas and textures, infusing the project with an expansive and reflective atmosphere - one that captures the contrast of raw nature and the precise electronic craftsmanship to capture crowds.

Musically, the eight-tracker moves fluidly between moods and rhythms, reflecting the layered creative process behind it. The title track ‘Sakura’ opens with a hypnotic groove that blooms into a textured soundscape, while 'The Funktion' rides tight, infectious, and tunnelling energy. Deeper cuts like ‘A Love Letter…’ reveal a hazy, introspective side, contrasting with the elevating energy of ‘Da Resurrection’. The EP’s range demonstrates Across Boundaries’ growing confidence in exploring diverse facets of house music, blending melody, groove, and atmosphere into a seamless journey.

This release not only marks their largest project under the Across Boundaries moniker, but also signals the maturation of a longtime musical and personal bond between its members. Longtime friends, Chris and Locklead’s collaborative process has evolved into an intuitive dialogue, where ideas flow freely and the boundaries of their sound continue to expand. This latest project is the latest chapter in this ongoing exploration; a cohesive, complete body of work that reflects their shared vision and commitment to pushing house music forward.

Joe Rolét makes his Hot Creations debut on 17th October with a viral underground anthem that has already amassed millions of views online and rapidly ascending plays via SoundCloud. Enter ‘No Hesitating’, the definition of a bassline mover. Stacked with rave-ready pressure and designed for full dancefloor impact, it’s a cut that has already been road-tested to devastating effect by Rolét himself alongside names such as Chris Stussy, Max Dean, and the Hot Creations head honcho himself, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after IDs of the year. 
“‘No Hesitating’ is a chuggy bassline wobbler finessed by a powerful, sultry vocal. I just wanted to make a bumping dancefloor roller stacked with musical pressure for the raving crew. I am happy to say that the evidence reported from rave-land confirms that this is a certified burner! A tune that hits ravers where it counts, by putting that bassline weight directly in their nostrils!” - Joe Rolét. 

A true product of London’s clubland, Rolét’s sound reflects a lifelong obsession with vinyl and formative nights at venues from Fabric to East End basements. Drawing on UK garage, minimal techno, tech house, dubstep, and jungle, his productions are heavy, hypnotic, and unmistakably his own. Beyond the studio, Rolét has earned a reputation as a selector who shapes nights with precision and force, from intricate minimal sessions to peak-time 130bpm workouts. His Planetary Notions imprint has become a trusted home for his “Space Pace” productions, supported by names such as Apollonia, RPR Soundsystem, and Sonja Moonear, while powering soundsystems from DC-10 to Sunwaves. With ‘No Hesitating’, he makes a bold Hot Creations debut, delivering a track that confirms his growing impact on the underground scene and ascending reputation as one of the UK’s most intriguing emerging voices.
