If debuts are anything to go by, the return Across Boundaries on Up The Stuss is a guaranteed treat. A collaborative project born out of mutual passion and understanding between two close friends, Chris Stussy and Locklead’s joint guise has taken the house landscape by storm, and the pair are only one release into their exciting journey. Merging signature sonics with future-focused ideas, the project takes cues from its name and sees the pair bridge genres and influences to deliver a raw and impactful take on house music - something on show here with their sophomore offering, ‘Synergy’.

Created to showcase a deeper side to their diverse sound palettes and a project for the duo to express themselves differently to their own solo sets and productions, the latest five-track EP contains a kaleidoscope of sounds and textures to soundtrack moments from sunrise to sunset and beyond.

Another essential pick-up to tick off your want list.

A remix I did for the legend Todd Terry. The original 'Bounce to the beat' came out in 1995. 30 years later, here's my take on it.

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.

Following an action-packed summer and the airing of his debut BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, Up The Stuss head honcho Chris Stussy will drop the second-ever release on his CSS sister label as he finally unveils his interpretation of Moby’s legendary production, ‘Go’. To be released on 1st November 2024, breathing new life into the timeless classic that was ranked #69 in Rolling Stone’s ‘200 Greatest Dance Songs Of All Time’, the release continues the momentum from CSS's inaugural offering, ‘Desire’, which dropped in February and has gone on to amass over 8.4 million plays via Spotify alone.

“This was initially intended to be an intro edit just for my Boiler Room set in Edinburgh, but ‘Go’ has been one of my most requested IDs for the last couple of months. Since the original is such an iconic tune, I tried to use two main elements, the strings and vocals, and added my touch to give it a more dancefloor-esque vibe. I love to play it in
almost every set” - Chris Stussy.

Closing another remarkable year for himself and his label Up The Stuss, Amsterdam-based tastemaker and label boss Chris Stussy returns for one final musical escapade before ushering in the new year. Building on the momentum of another career milestone following his BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix debut in October, the four-tracker offers another expertly crafted collection of tracks that have captivated dancefloors throughout the summer season and the rest of 2024. Once again showcasing his signature touch for blending deep grooves with subtle flair and undeniable energy, the EP is a testament to why the Dutch favourite remains a staple at the forefront of today’s house music scene.

From the already iconic title track ‘Won’t Stop (Don’t)’, packed with intricate rhythms and infectious energy, to the hazy, early-hours sonics of ‘What Are You Waiting For (Sunrise Mix)’, the EP delivers a diverse and commanding statement that draws you in and keeps you locked from the opening moment. Add the deep and bumping groove of ’Tremont St.’ and the lush, atmospheric closer ‘Lost In Paradise’, and you can expect a journey through rich sounds and deeper realms as Stussy strikes gold once again.
