Goldie’s Rufige Kru Project Returns with ‘Metal Giants’ EP

Goldie’s alter ego project with Submotive, Rufige Kru, has returned to unleash another fearless and peerless body of work, the ‘Metal Giants’ EP.

Out now, the EP comprises 5 brand new tracks produced by Goldie and Submotive. Both the EP’s title – Metal Giants – and the artwork were inspired by the New York subway carriages which Goldie used to graffiti.

The tracks on the EP are already quickly gaining acclaim from peers across the industry, with DJ Krust, John B, DJ Marky, Micky Finn and Doc Scott all giving their stamp of approval to the new Rufige Kru material.

The Metal Giants EP opens ‘Metal Detekt‘, with its dissonant call and response beeps which were sampled from a Stussy x Metalheadz collab advert on YouTube. ‘Backgammon Blues‘ came from a real life incident when Rufige Kru‘s James and Goldie were playing backgammon with each other in Thailand – and things became very competitive.

‘People & Places (Submotive VIP)‘ was produced at the same time as the original (which appears on recent album ‘Alpha Omega‘). The EP’s synonymous closer was actually written first. “I wasn’t sure what to do with it, so it sat there as a DJ weapon”, says Rufige Kru‘s Submotive.

The final track features a vocal sample from the late New York graffiti artist Dondi, describing what he calls “metal giants” – the New York City train yard – where, standing between all the trains, everything looks so big and forged in steel.

The release of ‘Metal Giants‘ EP follows a huge year for Rufige Kru, who returned last year with the highly-acclaimed album ‘Alpha Omega‘. Nominated for ‘Best Album’ at the DJ Mag Awards, the record includes tracks such as ‘Still The Same‘ featuring CASISDEAD and ‘Goldikus‘, which features guest vocals from revered UK music legend Cleveland Watkiss MBE, sampled from a recording of Goldie‘s 1993 set at legendary London club, The Blue Note.

REZZ Enlists Limbo Slice For New Track ‘Circuit’

REZZ

REZZ unleashes her newest single ‘Circuit’ in collaboration with rising artist Limbo Slice, out now via HypnoVizion.

Driven by tightly coiled tension and precision-built sound design, ‘Circuit‘ finds REZZ leaning further into velocity while preserving the hypnotic pull that defines her work.

The collaboration balances controlled intensity with gritty detail, pairing thunderous low-end with restless synth patterns that continually shift and escalate. Limbo Slice‘s industrial edge complements REZZ’s evolving palette, resulting in a track that feels both exhilarating and unpredictable as it unfolds.

“This is the fastest REZZ track of all time”, REZZ had to say.

REZZ is showing no signs of slowing down following a massive 2025 that included the release of her fifth studio album As The Pendulum Swings, the launch of her PORTAL audio-visual live experience, and seventh annual REZZ ROCKS headliner at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

She made history once again, this time as the Tacoma Dome‘s first-ever electronic female headliner, and marked a new personal milestone with her largest show to date. After kickstarting the year with her limited run As The Pendulum Swings Tour, REZZ will bring PORTAL to The Armory in Minneapolis, MN this weekend before returning to Coachella in April.

South Korean-born, UK-based producer Limbo Slice has gained traction with an enigmatic signature and monochromatic visual aesthetic. Collaborations with the likes of Astroglitch, One True God, and Mobiius have further solidified Limbo Slice‘s presence beyond the breakout hit ‘Aphotic‘. Returning to the scene following a brief hiatus, Limbo Slice‘ made his debut on HypnoVizion last month with ‘Fragment‘.

Dutch electronic producer Joris Voorn momentarily moves away from peak-time dancefloor productions on his newly announced album “Melatonin”, a downtempo and ambient focused release shaped around immersive detail.

Melatonin arrives as the companion piece to 2025’s “Serotonin” his fifth studio album and a record rooted in the dance floor. Where Serotonin looked outward to clubs and movement, Melatonin turns inward, exploring the artists relationship with sound design and melodic clarity.

Across the new record, Voorn leans into longer form textures and expansive sonic environments, shaping a quieter more widescreen listening experience.

Over the past two decades, Joris Voorn has built one of electronic music’s most respected catalogues, moving between club-focused techno precision and more expansive, melodic composition. His full-length studio albums include “Future History” (2004), “From a Deep Place” (2007), “Nobody Knows” (2014), “Four” (2019) and “Serotonin” (2025).

Alongside his own releases, he has contributed to the DJ mix canon with Balance 014 (2009), Fabric 83 (2015), and Global Underground 043: Rotterdam (2020), reinforcing his role as both a producer and curator within contemporary dance music culture.

Melatonin is set to be released on March 13, aligning with World Sleep Day the annual global moment that draws attention to the significance of sleep and the conditions that shape it, nodding to the wider themes of rest, rhythm, and the quieter hours the record is designed to inhabit.

To mark the album’s arrival, Voorn will present a special one-off performance in Amsterdam‘s ARTIS Planetarium.

The event will feature a 360-degree audio visual show, with Voorn performing the album live to an intimate seated audience of 320, surrounded by a celestial projection unfolding across the dome.

Claude VonStroke Announces “Wrong Number” International Tour

Claude VonStroke

Claude VonStroke is officially dialing a new number. This spring, the house music icon launches the Wrong Number International Tour, a run of intimate shows across Japan and Europe that marks the first public chapter of his forthcoming Wrong Number era.

More than 20 years into his career, Claude has made a habit of doing things slightly sideways. Instead of announcing the album with a giant festival run or headline-grabbing residency, he’s chosen the opposite approach: small rooms, tight dancefloors, and communities that still believe underground music is meant to be experienced up close.

There are no Vegas residencies. No giant main stages engineered for spectacle. Just carefully selected venues known for sound, intimacy, and late-night energy.

The Wrong Number philosophy is simple: what feels wrong for the moment is often exactly right. While much of dance music continues to scale upward, Claude is scaling down. Turning down larger offers in favor of rooms that hold 300 to 800 people – spaces where the crowd isn’t separated by velvet ropes and the DJ booth isn’t elevated like a throne.

One can imagine him alone in the studio obsessing over drum patterns like it’s still 2004 – and now choosing venues with the same mindset. Quality over optics. Groove over fireworks. Connection over hype.

The tour begins April 3 in Tokyo before moving through Prague, Berlin, Geneva, Amsterdam, and a focused UK run, wrapping in Oslo and Cologne. Each date acts as a preview of the forthcoming Wrong Number album – a body of work rooted in minimalism, crooked grooves, and late-night tension rather than peak-time theatrics.

Claude VonStroke may be dialing the wrong number for right now. But if you pick up, you’ll hear where this next chapter is headed.

WRONG NUMBER — INTERNATIONAL TOUR DATES:

Apr 3 — Tokyo, Japan — Vent
Apr 24 — Prague, Czech Republic — Part Time Locals
Apr 26 — Berlin, Germany — TBA
May 1 — Geneva, Switzerland — Audio Club
May 2 — Amsterdam, Netherlands — 19 Below
May 7 — Leeds, United Kingdom — District
May 8 — Bristol, United Kingdom — Clock Factory
May 9 — London, United Kingdom — Night Tales
May 15 — Oslo, Norway — Jaeger

Chris Stussy Announces Debut Album ‘Lost, Found & Forgotten…’

By
Metodi Gogovski

After years of shaping dancefloors worldwide and carefully curating the sonic and visual identity of Up The Stuss, Dutch favourite Chris Stussy presents his most expansive and personal statement to date with his debut album, ‘Lost, Found & Forgotten…’.

Landing on April 3, the album unfolds across three interconnected chapters – Lost, Found, and Forgotten – each revealing a different side of his creative world across 19 tracks while remaining tethered to a singular wider vision.

At its core, Lost, Found & Forgotten… is an exploration of creative freedom. Visually and conceptually guided by the image of a kite, the album reflects movement, perspective, and balance.

Floating freely yet always anchored, the kite mirrors Chris‘s approach to music: unrestricted in emotion and imagination, but grounded in groove, craftsmanship, and intention. It’s a symbol that naturally extends the Up The Stuss identity; pointing skyward, embracing openness, and encouraging curiosity.

Here’s what Chris Stussy had to say about the album:

“This album has been a long time in the making, and I’m excited to finally share it with you. The process behind it – exchanging ideas with other artists and creating music outside of my comfort zone – has been an incredible experience.

It gave me a true sense of freedom, allowing me to not think about boundaries or expectations. I’ve never been more proud of a project than this one. It’s deeply personal, and it represents my sound as a whole. I hope you listen with an open mind and find something in it that resonates with you.” 

Chris Stussy Lost, Found & Forgotten...
Chris Stussy album Lost, Found & Forgotten…

The Lost chapter opens the album by giving new life to music once left behind. These are tracks written across different moments in Chris‘s journey, ideas that never quite found a home until now. Rather than relics of the past, they emerge re-discovered, refined, and fully realized.

Found represents inspiration in motion. Sparked by collaboration, digging, and shared creative exchange, this chapter captures the moment when ideas connect. Featuring a rich cast of collaborators, the music here feels expansive and emotionally charged.

The album closes with Forgotten – a nod to the deeper cuts, the B-sides, and the moments that reward patience. This chapter is for the heads and diggers; tracks that may not demand immediate attention but reveal their value over time.

Throughout the album, the line between reality and surreality is intentionally blurred. Like the kite itself, Lost, Found & Forgotten… plays with perspective. It invites listeners to zoom in and out, to question, and to experience the music as both something tangible and something imagined.

It’s not just a debut album, it’s a reflection of Chris‘s journey so far, viewed from above and below, past and present, instinct and intention. A body of work that invites listeners to drift, discover, and ultimately land somewhere new – with each individual chapter set to be revealed in the run-up to the full LP release.

Chris Stussy‘s Lost, Found & Forgotten… (LP) drops via Up The Stuss on April 3 2026.
