UP THE STUSS ON THREEE

Chris Stussy has the entire house music community sat and ready for something special this spring.

The Dutch DJ and producer has announced his debut album, Lost, Found & Forgotten…, landing April 3rd, 2026 via his own imprint Up The Stuss. For anyone who has followed him since day one, this feels like a moment that has been building for years.

Stussy is many things. He is the DJ your favorite DJ respects. The one promoters trust with peak time. The one whose sets leave rooms in awe from start to finish. He has become a reference point for modern house and minimal. There is a presence about him behind the decks that is hard to put into words. What sets him apart is how he genuinely cares about the set itself. No matter the city or the venue, he builds each night with purpose.

Now he is telling a bigger story.

Lost, Found & Forgotten… spans 19 tracks divided into three chapters. Lost, Found, and Forgotten. Each section highlights a different side of Stussy while staying tied to one vision.

Lost revisits sketches and ideas from earlier in his career, now refined and given the space they always deserved. Found leans into collaboration, opening the door to shared energy and fresh perspectives. Forgotten closes the project with deeper selections made for those who really listen, the heads who stay for the afters and know every B side.

The album is guided by the image of a kite. Movement and balance. Freedom with control. It mirrors how Stussy builds a set and how he builds a record. Emotionally open, but always grounded in rhythm and craft. The kite also reinforces the spirit of Up The Stuss, a label that has grown alongside him and helped establish a sound heard across dance floors over the last few years.

This album has been a long time in the making, and I’m excited to finally share it with you,” Stussy says. He speaks about stepping outside his comfort zone, exchanging ideas, and letting go of expectations. It is clear this project means more than just a release date on the calendar. It represents where he stands right now as an artist.

For house lovers in their twenties, thirties, and forties, this is the kind of announcement that has us watching the clock tick from 11:59 PM to 12:00. His eye for fashion reflected in his own designs and merchandise, his work behind the camera as a photographer, his label, and the way he can take control of any room he steps into.

To mark the release, Stussy is also taking Lost, Found & Forgotten… on the road with a full album tour. Dates across Europe and the US are already locked in, including stops at Paradiso in Amsterdam, Gustave Eiffel Room in Paris, Alexandra Palace in London, Brooklyn Army Terminal in New York, and more. One special stop will kick off with an exclusive in depth interview in Dutch, where Stussy will speak about the ideas behind the record, his journey so far, and his vision for what comes next, followed by a DJ set to close the night.

This release is a statement from an artist who has already achieved so much, yet still feels hungry to explore. Everyone in the scene knows the name Chris Stussy. On April 3rd, we get to hear the full story.
