About Chris Stussy
Niels Christian Steenbergen, known as Chris Stussy, is a Dutch DJ and producer from Leiderdorp, now based in Amsterdam. Growing up surrounded by his parents' eclectic music collection, he developed an early love of electronic sounds before trading youth academy football at Haarlem for the decks. His DJ career began in friends' back gardens and at birthday parties, graduating to local clubs across the Netherlands before his productions started catching international attention around 2014. Chris Stussy's sound is rooted in deep, rolling basslines, jazzy chords, and shimmering pads — drawing heavy inspiration from classic US house, garage, jazz, disco, and Chicago styles while giving them a distinctly modern twist. DJ Mag has described his tracks as "some of house music's best-selling and most reliable dancefloor weapons." His breakout single "All Night Long" (2023) amassed over 33 million Spotify streams, while "Won't Stop (Don't)" topped the Beatport Deep House chart and his remix of Moby's "Go" reached #1. In 2020, he founded Up The Stuss (UTS), a vinyl-focused label that has become a vital platform for house music, with releases from Fabe, East End Dubs, Janeret, and more becoming instant record bag mainstays. He has collaborated extensively — full albums with S.A.M. ("Get Together", 2021) and as part of Across Boundaries with Locklead, plus the Stussko duo with Kolter. His live credentials include Coachella (YUMA Stage, 2025), DC10 and Amnesia in Ibiza, a Boiler Room debut in Edinburgh that garnered over 2 million views, and a BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix in October 2024 — which he described as "the pinnacle of all DJ mixes." In February 2025, he launched the USS event concept with a sold-out show at London's Roundhouse. His debut album "Lost, Found & Forgotten..." — 19 tracks across three chapters — was announced on BBC Radio 1 by Pete Tong and releases April 3, 2026 on Up The Stuss, with an album tour kicking off at London's Alexandra Palace.
