Chris Stussy to launch new event concept, USS, at London’s iconic Roundhouse.
Internationally renowned DJ/producer Chris Stussy will launch his new concept and event series USS in London, with the debut show at the iconic Roundhouse on 1st February 2025. With his boundary-pushing approach to house music, the renowned Dutch selector has risen to the forefront of the international circuit with a sound that is distinctly his, and the Up The Stuss founder now adds a very personal piece to his ever-growing world.
The return to the UK capital will see Chris joined by a selection of special guests, with the lineup to be announced in the coming weeks - ensuring the focus remains on the music first and foremost. The venue, Roundhouse, with its historical significance and state-of-the-art sound system, will serve as the perfect backdrop for the exciting launch, with the unique concept encouraging attendees to take a step back, peeling back the noise and focusing on complimenting music with elements that truly matter.
“In current times, almost everything around us is built to be fast, on-demand, and therefore, we expose ourselves to a lot of different things at once. Often even without realising. It’s not rocket science that this has resulted in a society where people are dealing with a shorter attention span than we’ve probably had before. Try listening to music with your eyes closed; when you are not distracted by anything else, you get to actually hear and experience it.
I’ve always felt that if I was to launch my own event, it had to be something that serves as a counter-movement on this development. Instead of adding and stacking more things on top of the other, I’d like to keep things a bit more calm and simplistic. I am a strong believer that this will result in a better overall music and dancefloor experience.
With USS, we are aiming to create a mindful space without too much distraction and stimulus next to the main event: the music. I’d like everything around the music to be complimentary instead of a distraction. A key part of this vision is our lighting plan: we’ll be using soft lighting and gentle colours designed to enhance the atmosphere without overwhelming it. I can’t wait to see and experience this at The Roundhouse in London!” - Chris Stussy.
The launch marks an exciting new chapter for Chris as he continues to innovate as a torchbearer for the modern house scene. After selling out his debut UK Tour earlier this year within minutes and following key UK appearances for the likes of Circus and Warehouse Project across the remainder of 2024, expect demand for USS to have snowballed to new peaks as he returns to London, with the pre-sale link for tickets live HERE.
