Glasgow-based DJ/producer Hector Barbour (aka Denis Sulta) creates vivacious, melodic house with underground sensibilities. Born in Glasgow in 1993, he grew up with a keen interest in dance music, landing his first job at the infamous record shop Rubadub. It was during his tenure there that he took up both music production and DJ'ing under the guidance of his co-workers, who were all very passionate about the scene. With access to a plethora of hardware and opinions, Barbour branched out into music production and promoting his own parties; he initially ran a series of after parties, often at obscure venues, but eventually began playing regular sets at Subclub. Meanwhile, his productions were picked up by label owner and co-worker Dan Monox, who went on to release his debut EP -- then using the moniker Atlus -- on Dixon Basement Avenue Jams. His early tracks were darker in tone, but as he started playing more and more gigs, his music became more uplifting. To reflect the change in style, he reversed the name Atlus to Sulta and adopted Denis as a prefix (originally spelled "Dennis," a printing error led him to drop an "n" in favor of Denis). From there he went on to release EPs on renowned Glasgow imprint Numbers, eventually setting up his own label and brand, Sulta Selects. Barbour took the brand on a global tour, which became so popular that it spawned a full festival, FLY Open Air: Sulta Selects, held at Hopetoun House just outside of Edinburgh. In 2019, Ninja Tune released Sulta's EP Aye Spoake te Sumwuhn & They Listened. ~ Liam Martin, Rovi
