Malin Genie returns to Up The Stuss as the Vigenere boss unveils his first EP on the label, ‘Phaeton’.

A true modern-day pioneer of house music, Amsterdam-based DJ, producer and label owner Malin Genie is only getting better as he continues to add to his rich catalogue of releases. Whether producing darker, more minimal- leaning productions on his Vigenere imprint through to his contributions alongside Lazare Hoche and S.A.M. as 1/3 of Mandar, his wide-reaching sound sees his productions primed in the record bags of the scene’s most renowned names, with his ‘Phaethon’ EP providing a perfect showcase of this talent. 

Welcoming a collection of house gems from across the spectrum - from glistening, resonant synth-driven productions to skittering low-end heavy cuts and warping, twisting efforts - this is arguably his most diverse release to date as he marks his return to Up The Stuss in exemplary fashion.

Title cut ‘Phaeton’ is a kaleidoscopic trip into the mind of one of house music’s finest, combining shuffling drums with emotive chords and sweeping leads, before ‘Gamma Gazette’ delivers a snaking, low-end driven groove set to move dancefloors. The instantly recognisable ‘Wooble’ is a warping, off-kilter gem featured heavily within label boss Chris Stussy’s sets across the past 12 months, while the expertly crafted and blissful ‘Going To The Beach AllDay’ offers a sun-soaked production fusing soulful classic and modern touches effortlessly.

Shaping up the digital package, bonus track ‘Pany’ once again showcases Genie’s unmatched versatility - a no-
nonsense yet delightfully playful production guided by deep chords and spirited vocals. Quality and class from start to finish.

As his Up The Stuss imprint approaches its 4th anniversary, Chris Stussy is continuing to unveil new projects that only add to his ever-growing reputation as an artist and label boss. Welcoming a wealth of global talent to date, the next release brings something special as he digs even deeper to launch the label’s Scholarship initiative - supporting new artists from across the globe with advice, mentoring, initiatives and a platform to showcase their work.

Introducing Pedro Borlado. Born in Madrid but now based in the US, the newcomer is an artist whose sound reflects an artist well beyond his years. An avid digger, embracing wide-reaching influences and pockets of genres within his sets, here he showcases his studio work for the very first time as he unveils his debut production as the first artist to release on Up The Stuss’ new sub-label with his four-track ‘First Light’ EP.

Bringing one of 2024’s most notable basslines alongside swirling synths and skippy drums, title cut ‘First Light’ sets the tone from the off. ‘Pleasure Pallet’ balances acid tones and warping sonics, while ‘Seeking Infinity’ harnesses hazy grooves and snaking percussion amongst playful arrangements. Add in closing cut ‘E700’, loaded with machine funk and pumping low-ends, and you get a stand-out debut from a name you’ll be hearing much more of in the coming years.

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.

S.A.M. returns to Up The Stuss this summer with the third release in the UTSOFF series, delivering a potent double-header that’s been rattling dancefloors for months. Titled ‘Hit You With My Phone’, the release arrives on 4th July and features two dynamic cuts that further cement the Danish talent’s place in the label’s core family.

A mainstay in Chris Stussy’s recent sets and one of the most talked-about IDs in recent months, title track ‘Hit You With My Phone’ is pure dancefloor dynamite — a helter-skelter ride through organised chaos, laced with warped vocals, frenetic percussion and a relentless groove that grabs you and doesn’t let go. It’s bold, it’s unpredictable, and it’s quickly become one of the most commanding tracks in the Dutch label boss’s arsenal.

On the flip, ‘Got Me Down’ offers a skippy contrast — a low-slung groover that channels tension and release with tightly wound drums and rolling bass, keeping things locked for deeper moments on the floor.

Marking S.A.M.’s third outing on Up The Stuss following their collaborative ‘Get Together’ project with Stussy and the solo ‘Check It Out’ EP, ‘Hit You With My Phone’ sees them explore new ground while staying true to the raw, club-focused ethos of the label. As the UTSOFF series continues to shine a light on uncompromising, forward-facing club music, this latest instalment delivers two cuts built for impact and ready to cause damage.

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.

Stepping onto Up The Stuss for the first time, Anil Aras presents his ‘Through The Night’ EP, a record that captures the tension and release of the dancefloor after dark. Across four tracks, the Utrecht artist distills his trademark swing and subtle intensity into a body of work that feels alive in the moment yet timeless in its form. It’s a project that mirrors the transitions of night itself, shifting between lightness and weight, clarity and haze, while staying rooted in the grooves that have defined his journey to date.

A central figure within the Dutch scene and a long-time member of the revered SlapFunk collective, Aras has carved out a space within the house realm via his unrelenting energy behind the decks and a production style that bridges classic influences with forward-facing ideas. Releases on labels such as No Art, Hot Haus Recs, and the aforementioned SlapFunk have highlighted his instinct for crafting music that connects instantly on the floor, while his hybrid TR-909-driven DJ sets have taken him to international stages, including Glastonbury and throughout Ibiza.

With ‘Through The Night’, he brings that same approach to Up The Stuss, delivering a four-tracker that is both powerful yet subtle and versatile. Shaped for the dancefloor but rich in detail, the release captures the essence of his artistry - a dedication to groove, atmosphere, and the moments that unite dancers worldwide. It’s a debut that feels both natural and essential, adding a new shade to the label’s palette while opening another path for Aras’ evolving sound.

Following the success of Pedro Borlado’s debut ‘First Light’ EP, which launched the initiative in late 2024, Chris Stussy now unveils the next chapter in his Up The Stuss Scholarship series - a project dedicated to mentoring and platforming emerging artists from across the globe. Designed to offer guidance, development, and an outlet for promising producers to showcase their music, the series returns this winter with its sophomore release: ‘Reconnection’ by Newcastle’s Lewis Taylor.

At just 24 years old, Taylor has quickly become a much-talked-about young talent, with his ‘Party Trax’ series earning praise from established names such as Palms Trax and Job Jobse. His productions, landing on labels including Trick, ec2a, Agrio Tracks, and Riviera Records, reflect an understanding of house music’s history while keeping his sound fresh, energetic, and forward-thinking.

‘Reconnection’ captures the spirit of the Scholarship project: youthful energy shaped through mentorship, Chris’s creative direction, and the Up The Stuss ethos. Across two cuts, Taylor presents his most refined work to date. Title track ‘Reconnection’ pairs warm chords and skippy percussion with fluid basslines, nodding to classic textures while channelling his own edge. Meanwhile, ‘I Wanted You To Know’ explores more introspective ground, with its shimmering pads and emotive melodies revealing a side of Taylor’s sound rooted in sensitivity and late-night atmosphere.

As with the previous Scholarship release, ‘Reconnection’ represents more than music - it’s a reflection of Chris’s ongoing commitment to developing the next generation of producers and creating a space for them to flourish. The initiative continues to expand the Up The Stuss universe beyond the dancefloor, fostering genuine community, mentorship, and creativity that reach far beyond the label’s globally respected output.
