Sidney Charles

Hamburg-born DJ/producer and Heavy House Society boss Sidney Charles steps into the Up The Stuss universe for the first time with the fourth release in the UTSOFF series. Arriving on 6th February, his deftly curated ‘On My Mind’ EP delivers five high-impact house cuts, each crafted with the depth, melody, and groove that have made him a favourite on the global scene.

A long-time friend of label head Chris Stussy, Sidney brings a wealth of experience and dancefloor know-how to his UTSOFF debut. The title track, ‘On My Mind’, is a magnetic journey through skippy rhythms, silky melodies, and irresistible soulful vocal hooks - a track that builds and pulses with undeniable dancefloor buzz and appeal. From the cosmic propulsion of ‘Astral Express’ to the vibrant and glossy textures of ‘The Missing Link’, the EP traverses a spectrum of moods, keeping things dynamic yet always rooted in physical grooves. ‘Till The Early Mornin’ delivers a winding late-hours voyage guided by an immersive flow, while closer ‘Cardinal Virtue’ ties the package together with shimmering layers, weighty low-ends, and an abundance of dancefloor-ready energy.

While this marks Sidney Charles’ first appearance on Up The Stuss, the connection runs deep. Having known Chris for years, the two have shared a musical dialogue built on mutual respect, late-night sessions, and a shared obsession with house music’s edge and ever-changing experimentation. The ‘On My Mind’ EP captures that understanding perfectly; a release that feels both intimately personal and engineered for maximum club impact, where the lines between friendship, inspiration, and sheer dancefloor bliss blur effortlessly.
