Chris Stussy is a busy man. Only last week, he announced his two-date programme at Pacha Ibiza with USS.
This week, the Dutch House frontrunner has officially announced his long-awaited debut album, Lost, Found & Forgotten…, a deep, personal and unfiltered homage to the sounds that have created his phenomenal career thus far.
Set for release on 3 April via his very own Up The Stuss label, this one is years in the making. The 19-track (yes 19!) project marks his most expansive and personal body of work to date, deep diving into his sound both past and present.
The news has already sent his loyal devotees - who arguably deserve an official name at this point - into a frenzy on social media.
After teasing the album online with a rather cryptic but cool video of him cruising round in a vintage Porche with none other than Pete Tong on the voiceover, fans have flooded TikTok comments demanding hints and track confirmations.
True to form, Stussy has remained adamant: no hints.
With unreleased favourites like Wide Awake, Believe In Yourself and Darkness circulating in sets for months, anticipation is at an all-time high. Whether they've made the final cut remains to be seen. I doubt he'd let us down though…
Lost, Found & Forgotten… lands on Up The Stuss this 3 April
The ‘Lost’ chapter opens the album by giving new life to music once left behind.
These are tracks written across different moments in Chris’ journey, ideas that never quite found a home until now. 'Found' captures inspiration sparked through collaboration and shared exchange, delivering some of the album’s most emotionally charged moments.
The album closes with ‘Forgotten’ - a nod to the deeper cuts, the B-sides. This chapter is for the heads and diggers; tracks that may not demand immediate attention but reveal their value over time.
He will be kicking off his album tour at London’s Alexandra Palace on 4 April, the day after the album drops.
Where we're most concerned, you can catch him on the island as he headlines Pacha Ibiza on two occasions in the early season. Those dates for your diary are 26 May and 2 June. We remain confident he’ll be popping up at plenty more parties too.
Buckle up, as this ride is going to be emotional. Stuss is lost, found and finally here.
Tickets for both Pacha parties are on sale now and available below.
