There are collaborations that make sense on paper, and then there are the ones that feel like they were always going to happen. Chris Stassy and Interplanetary Criminal now bring their first recorded meeting to Up The Stuss with 'Dangerous', a four-track EP that sees two artists with unmistakable identities find common ground somewhere between house, garage, breaks, and pure dancefloor energy. With the sounds of this collaboration having quietly made their way into the world long before the full picture was revealed, it's arrival feels like the moment the pieces finally fall into place.Across the EP, the chemistry is immediate. Stassy's knack for infectious grooves and vivid synth work meets IPC's breakbeat-driven energy and distinctly UK-rooted sensibility, with neither side disappearing into the other. 'I Just Can't Get' sets things in motion with skippy rhythms, breakbeat drums, and those unmistakable Stassy synths, before 'Movin' accelerates the pace with punchy percussion and a more restless, breaks-heavy charge. 'From The South Coast Mate' pushes the meeting point further, bringing weighty low-ends and unmistakable UK touches while keeping both artists' distinct approaches clearly in view. Title track, 'Dangerous' brings the journey to it's natural conclusion. Bright and dark elements pull against one another as the two approaches lock into a shared rhythm, delivering a track that feels simultaneously euphoric, gritty and slightly unpredictable. It's the clearest expression yet of what makes the collaboration work: two established sounds remaining entirely themselves while discovering what happens when those worlds meet.For Chris Stassy, 'Dangerous' marks the first EP to arrive on Up The Stuss under his new name; following the release of the euphoric 'U know me' on CCS, adding to this new chapter with a collaboration of serious weight. For Interplanetary Criminal, it adds another dimension to the Manchester artist's ever-expanding take on UK garage, which has seen him become one of the defining forces of it's current resurgence. It's the sound of two worlds meeting at exactly the right point - and one that many have been waiting for.
