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 defi ned 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 dancefl oor 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.

Across Boundaries present their most complete project yet with their ‘Sakura’ EP on Up The Stuss.
Chris Stussy and Locklead’s collaborative project reveals a new 2x12", delivering a deep creative journey through nature and sound.
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 in September, their 'Sakura' EP 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.

S.A.M. - Hit You With My Phone (Acapella)

S.A.M. - Got Me Down
DJ support – Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler Damian Lazarus, Marco Corola, Joseph Capriati, The Martinez Brothers and Rey Colino
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 dancefl oors 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.

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.

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.

KOLTER - I’m Fine, Thanks!
An artist needing little introduction, having crafted a playful yet impactful sound that is entirely his own spanning house to breaks, electro and beyond, Cologne’s Kolter continues to prove exactly why he’s in such high demand as a producer and a DJ. Following his debut on Up The Stuss back in 2021, his releases since have landed via labels such as Solid Grooves, Shall Not Fade, Pilot, Berg Audio and his own Koltrax imprint, and he picks up right where he left off with a long-awaited return to Chris Stussy’s admired imprint with four cuts that have been in heavy rotation for the label boss for months. From the hooky vocal samples to the rumbling groove and vibrant bass guitar licks, title track ‘That Was Fresh’ brings the arrival of one of the German’s most requested anthems to date. Add in the helter-skelter electronics and glitchy sonics of ‘This Is It’, the breaks-driven and resonant ‘Feel’, and the hazy yet driving ‘I’m Fine, Thanks!’, and the four tracks showcase Kolter at his best as he makes a triumphant return.

Up The Stuss goes down under as Sydney's Litmus steps for the label's tenth release. A bubbling member of Australia’s house and minimal scene, his productions via No Art, Piv And Dailycid have seen the exciting Aussie emerge onto the global landscape and make some noise.
Continuing in slick fashion, his 'Plus One' EP showcases a wealth of vibrant solo flavours while partnering up with Berlin's Black Loops for a crisp collaborative sprinkling of house delight - all backed by French live act and man of the moment Leo Pol as he delivers a heady, piano-driven remix of the title cut.

Journeying into deeper, more electro-tinged territories than his previous material, Chris Stussy’s first solo EP on Up The Stuss ‘Mysteries Of The Universe’ showcases his evolution as an artist at the heart of modern house music.
Weaving spacey sonics, sparse textures and swirling, hypnotic melodies, the four originals across the EP deliver fresh, expansive club ammunition from the Amsterdam favourite on his return to home turf. Joining the package, partisan favourite Giammarco Orsini becomes the second remixer on the label, serving up another killer late-night voyage to shape up the package. Don’t sleep on this one.
