Making his debut on Up The Stuss, Anil Aras presents his “Through The Night” EP, a record that captures the tension and freedom of the dancefloor after dark. Across four tracks, the Utrecht artist distills his distinctive 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 the night itself, oscillating between lightness and weight, clarity and haze, yet remaining rooted in the grooves that have defined his path to date.
A central figure in the Dutch scene and a longstanding member of the revered SlapFunk collective, Aras has carved out a space in the house realm through his tireless energy behind the decks and a production style that fuses classic influences with innovative ideas. Releases on labels like No Art, Hot Haus Recs, and the aforementioned SlapFunk have highlighted his instinct for crafting music that instantly connects on the floor, while his hybrid, TR-909-driven DJ sets have taken him to international stages, including Glastonbury and Ibiza.
With “Through The Night,” he brings the same approach to Up The Stuss, delivering a four-track EP that’s powerful yet subtle, versatile yet distinct. Designed for the dancefloor but rich in detail, the record captures the essence of his artistry: a dedication to groove, atmosphere, and the moments that unite dancers across the globe. It’s a debut that feels both natural and essential, adding a fresh nuance to the label’s palette while opening another avenue for Aras’s evolving sound.
