Another record that broken by @marcocarola…
 
‘Joys’ was undoubtedly the song of the summer back in 2019. A catchy S.O.S. Band vocal sample and an explosive bassline, this record made people scream and shout when that first bass note came in. Brings back many good memories. Big ups @robertosurace.
 
Thank you to everyone for going with us on this journey from 2012 - 2022…
 A very happy new year to everyone. We can’t wait to see you on a dancefloor in 2023… or maybe even Printworks later. 😅

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.

Across Boundaries - Sakura lp - uts25

July 24, 2025. Just a date, to many. A blip on the cosmic timeline, passing without fuss or fight. But to those who knew, those who were there... this date will live forever on in legend. Like an alchemist forging gold from a vat of copper, just a regular Thursday night was transformed into the highest energy party we have ever had the honor of partaking in. Three hours of kerosene poured on a wood fire, thank god someone was there to record it. The most anticipated set in RAW CUTS history... this is Locklead.
