Jamie Jones launched the Hot Creations label back in 2010 with 'Ruckus'. Now Jamie makes his long awaited return to Hot Creations with 'Planets, Spaceships', a four-track EP set for vinyl release on 18th November 2013.

These tracks have been Jamie's secret battle weapons all summer. Tapping into a dark sider but with that distinctive Jamie Jones melody and drive that are a signature feature of his DJ sets. Title track 'Planets, Spaceships' features vocalist Daniela Caldellas from Digitaria, who has an album planned for Hot Creations in the new year, whilst 'Cookie Monster', 'Starp Trek' and 'Stick' take things even deeper with vocal snatches and crisp claps.

Highlighting his avant-garde style and showcasing exactly why he is recognised as one of the leading figures in the rebirth of house music, 'Planets, Spaceships' further cements Jamie's place in the dance music hall of fame.

In the midst of the increasingly popular house music hurricane comes a fresh two track EP from one of the movement’s most promising talents, Richy Ahmed. Taking cues from hip-hop, techno, funk and disco, ‘The Drums’ EP arrives on the 2nd of December via Hot Creations.

Just stretching his limbs in terms of his discography, in less than two years the London-based producer has gathered some series attention. From 2011’s slinky, deep house mover 'Suck It' (Hot Creations) to his 80's chicago manipulation remix of Infinity Ink's 'Infinity', there’s always an enviable glisten about his work. His wizardry behind the decks lead to him being named resident DJ at DC10's Paradise this summer with the season coming to an end in late September.

'The Drums' got its maiden plays during Richy's Boiler Room Set and the takeovers of Paradise Ibiza. The EP steps out of the blocks with definite verve. Title track, 'The Drums', a hip-house barnstormer of a track it massages a buttery-smooth rolling bassline into a four-to-the-floor backdrop with contagious results. Legend, Kevin Knapp, jumps on vocal duty dropping in and out with praise to 'the drums'. On the flip side, '101 Jam' is a rolling analogue slice of deep house brilliance. Here, Richy pitches skittering hi-hats and hyperactive synth movements atop a robust bassline foundation. It proves homage to the brand of house celebrated right from the genre’s genesis.

UTSOFF02 - Locklead
1. Moon
2. Hazy Gaze

Returning to Up The Stuss in style fresh from his collaborative Across Boundaries project with label head honcho Chris Stussy, it’s pretty clear that Utrecht-based DJ, producer and live talent Locklead’s purple patch isn’t going anywhere as he continues to unveil his sharp-edged, heady and cosmic sound to an ever-growing selection of fans. And when artist and label link and complement one another effortlessly, creating a home away from home, comfort and freedom take creativity to a new height.

For the sophomore release on UTSOFF, a series launched by Stussy’s soaring ‘All Night Long’ earlier this year, the enigmatic Dutchman delivers ‘Moon’ - a shimmering slice of house music that’s been the topic of endless ID requests since featuring as a stand-out track in Stussy’s Sonar Week sets. A true showcase of his innate talent as an artist, drawing from all corners of the genre, the track - written and produced solo while featuring his own vocals throughout - welcomes a trip into the mind of one of modern house music’s most exciting new names. In contrast,’ Hazy Gaze’ is a moody journey through tumbling textures, wonky synths and spacey tones, delivering two cuts for varying moods and moments, and another essential addition to the UTS catalogue.

the A-side, joint efforts shine with the hypnotic swing of ‘Solstice’ and the bumping, reflective charm of ‘Contemplate’. The B-side turns the spotlight on solo creations, with Burnski delivering his glistening, late-night trip ‘Give’ and Kepler unveiling the captivating and vibrant ‘Transcend’.

Additionally, digital bonus tracks come in the form of Burnski’s UKG-fuelled, cosmic roller ‘Satellite’ and Kepler’s deep and driving ‘Serious’ — offering fans an extended journey through the duo’s sound.

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.

Another exciting name emerges from the Netherlands’ ever-thriving house scene as Hidde van Wee steps up for his first release on Up The Stuss with his four-track ‘Aspire To Inspire’ EP. Rapidly gaining recognition for his dynamic and groove-driven productions, Hidde has already turned heads via releases on Rossi.'s HOME//GRXWN, Heavy House Society, and beyond. Now, he arrives on Chris Stussy’s thriving imprint with a four-track collection that showcases his range as an artist, blending elements and influences spanning minimal, electro, and deep house to deliver a forward-thinking selection
built for the club.

Leading the charge, title track ‘Aspire To Inspire’ sets the tone with infectious bass grooves and shimmering synth work, providing a sleek opener that commands attention. ‘Perception Of Swing’ is another captivating journey through layers of fluid melodies and driving low-ends, while ‘Motion’ leans into deeper, hypnotic territories, pairing hazy tones over a menacing bassline to offer a classy yet dynamic contrast. Rounding out the package, ‘Metamorph’ delivers a fusion of cosmic synths
and slick, jacking drums, injecting a playful, futuristic edge to close the EP.

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.
