Chris Stussy makes his long-awaited FUSE debut unleashing the much-requested ‘Midtown Playground’, with Huerta joining on remix duties. It’s rare for an artist to be able to generate such intrigue and interest across every single release they line up. Yet, the mesmerising global gaze surrounding Chris Stussy seems to grow immeasurably with every unreleased production previewed in his ever-impressive sets. Now undeniably one of the most in-demand names in the scene, the humble and hard-working Dutchman has let the music do the talking over the past few years, with his Up The Stuss project embracing a new musical focus and providing a platform for him to grow and evolve into an artist at the top of his game. Showing no signs of stopping, the burgeoning DJ/producer and label boss now adds another label debut to his catalogue as Enzo Siragusa invites him to his iconic FUSE imprint for the very first time, bringing the release of one of his most-requested tracks to date, ‘Midtown Playground’ - with LA-born, Berlin-based DJ, producer, and Leisure boss Huerta making his first appearance on remix duties. From the instantly recognisable synths and lead melody to the skipping percussion and rumbling bassline, ‘Midtown Playground’ perfectly showcases the sound Stussy is rapidly making his own. The same can be said for ‘From The Delicate Mist Of Morning’, a more subtle yet hypnotic offering, whilst ‘Blueprint’, another unreleased set highlight, delivers that imposing yet playful groove he’s become so well-known and loved for. With his take on ‘From The Delicate Mist Of Morning’, Huerta dives into a deep, colourful, and airy journey through cosmic spheres, whilst digital purchasers can enjoy a bonus cut in ‘Mythical Power’ - a warping, uplifting, and menacing effort crafted for packed out, late-night dancefloors.
