Locklead’s Back on Up The Stuss with “Unison” — And Every Track Slaps

There’s a certain kind of buzz that builds when unreleased tracks get ID’d over and over — and Locklead’s been at the center of that storm. Whether he’s going solo or linking up with Chris Stussy as Across Boundaries, the Utrecht-based producer keeps showing up with house music that feels sharp, deep, and dialed in for the dancefloor. Now, he’s back with a brand-new solo EP on Up The Stuss. It’s called Unison, and it lands everywhere April 4, 2025.

Let’s break it down real quick — this four-tracker delivers four distinct flavors, all connected by Locklead’s signature: deep textures, rolling energy, and a real sense of flow. If you’ve been watching his journey from Square One to Moon, this new one’s like watching it all click into place.

So what’s on the menu?

The title track Unison is that one people have been asking about forever. It’s smooth but driving, full of texture, and it hits that perfect sweet spot between hypnotic and high-energy. You can feel how much control he has in the mix — everything’s intentional, from the warm groove to the immersive layers on top.

Track two, Apollo, flips the script a bit. It’s more raw, more direct. There’s a rugged edge to the drums and those punchy stabs — this one’s made for peak-time impact. You can hear it doing damage in a set that needs a jolt of extra energy.

Then we get to Mystic Nights, where things get deeper, more atmospheric. Rich pads, smooth basslines, and a steady rhythm pull you into a dreamier space. It’s one of those tracks that builds without needing to shout — it glides, it breathes, and it works.

And closing things out, STFUATYXP — yeah, the name’s wild — but the tune is pure cosmic funk. Think shimmering synths, tight percussion, and late-night magic. It’s the kind of track that sneaks up on you, then becomes a set highlight.

Locklead’s sound is always evolving, but it never feels like he’s chasing trends. With Unison, he’s sharpening what’s already working — and adding new edges. Each cut stands on its own, but together, they form something that really sticks.

Unison drops April 4 on Up The Stuss. It’s available on all major platforms and comes with full support across socials. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to Locklead’s world, this one’s a solid entry point.
