The Scottish party-starter brings his big sound to Contact

The past five years have seen Denis Sulta become a monumental force in club music. From his roots entrenched in the Glasgow scene he broke out in 2014 with a canny take on house and techno that spoke to the city’s oft-overlooked legacy of tough, spirited and playful party music. From labels like Dixon Avenue Basement Jams and Numbers. to establishing his own Sulta Selects in 2017, Sulta has plenty of places to call home, but in 2019 he went one step further by releasing his debut album Aye Spoake Te Sumwuhn & They Listenhd. While carrying through his instinct for big room house and techno dynamics, there’s also a heavy focus on emotional expression in the album, marking a step forward for an artist discovering new facets to his craft with every subsequent move he makes.

When Sulta comes to Contact, he’ll have a full five hours to explore every facet of his sound – you can expect the music to reach stratospheric heights of course, but there will be space for more introspective moments as well. Given his relentless gig schedule, the reliable constant will be the skill with which Sulta weaves together his mammoth set.
