Details: Across Boundaries present their most complete project yet with their 'Sakura' release on Up The Stuss. Chris Stussy and Locklead's collaborative project reveals a new 2x12', delivering a deep creative journey through nature and sound. After two acclaimed releases on Up The Stuss, 'Sense Of Future' in 2023 and 'Synergy' in 2024, Across Boundaries, the collaborative project of Chris Stussy and Locklead, return with their most expansive and fully realized statement to date. 'Sakura' brings an eight-track, double vinyl package offering a deep dive into the duo's evolving partnership, showcasing a sound that is as intricate and emotive as it is dancefloor-focused. The making of the release reflects an organic approach, with the pair taking to the Dutch wilderness for a series of weekend-long studio retreats, temporarily transforming remote natural spaces into creative sanctuaries. These escapes, surrounded by forests and wildlife, allowed the pair to step away from traditional studio environments and reconnect with the pure essence of their music. This intentional isolation sparked fresh ideas and textures, infusing the project with an expansive and reflective atmosphere - one that captures the contrast of raw nature and the precise electronic craftsmanship to capture crowds. Musically, the eight-tracker moves fluidly between moods and rhythms, reflecting the layered creative process behind it. The title track 'Sakura' opens with a hypnotic groove that blooms into a textured soundscape, while 'The Funktion' rides tight, infectious and tunneling energy. Deeper cuts like 'A Love Letter...' reveal a hazy, introspective side, contrasting with the elevating energy of 'Da Resurrection'. The record's range demonstrates Across Boundaries' growing confidence in exploring diverse facets of house music, blending melody, groove, and atmosphere into a seamless journey. This release not only marks their largest project under the Across Boundaries moniker, but also signals the maturation of a longtime musical and personal bond between it's members. Longtime friends, Chris and Locklead's collaborative process has evolved into an intuitive dialogue, where ideas flow freely and the boundaries of their sound continue to expand. This latest project is the latest chapter in this ongoing exploration; a cohesive, complete body of work that reflects their shared vision and commitment to pushing house music forward.
