Chris Stussy Finally Releases 'Darkness,' a Year After Debuting It in DJ Sets

Chris Stussy had been playing an unfinished version of ‘Darkness’ out on the road for roughly a year, with fans repeatedly asking him to name the track, and it’s finally out on Up The Stuss, released 13 March.

Stussy, whose real name is Niels Christian Steenbergen, has been putting out music since 2014. The single follows ‘Sakura’ as his most recent release on Up The Stuss, the label he’s called home since 2021.

‘Darkness’ is also the lead single from Stussy’s upcoming debut album, ‘Lost, Found & Forgotten…’, due April 3rd on the same label. The announcement lands as his touring schedule ramps up, with Up The Stuss shows at Pacha Ibiza alongside sets booked at EDC Las Vegas, Sónar Barcelona, Creamfields and a Boiler Room set in London this July.

The track stays rooted in the club while carrying a more reflective mood, signaling both progression and continuity as Stussy heads into album territory for the first time.

It’s the sound Stussy’s crowds have already been chasing for the better part of a year, now finally out to everyone else.
