DENIS SULTA in The Lab IBZ
Denis Sulta in The Lab Ibiza is a disco and house edit masterclass for people who believe a saxophone solo is always the correct answer. The vibe is pure, unadulterated joy—the sound of someone playing their favorite records for their favorite people, with all the cheeky grin that implies. Sulta rides a flexible groove between 100 and 130 BPM, expertly using the harmonic playground of keys like 12A and 5A to stitch together decades of dance music.
The energy is brilliantly mid-focused (avg 0.572), highlighting funky basslines, soaring vocals, and those all-important brass stabs, while the low-end provides a solid, four-to-the-floor heartbeat. His style is playful and eclectic, using long blends to let classics breathe and quick cuts to keep the energy infectious. The crate digging is sublime: Underdog Edits' 'The Mirrors Of My Mind' is a psychedelic, perfectly loopy opener.
Saâda Bonaire's 'More Women' is an obscure post-punk disco gem that feels like a secret shared. Matthew Wilder's 'Break My Stride' edit is a pop masterpiece reborn for the dancefloor, and the Legowelt mix of Fernando's 'Sometimes' is a weird, wonderful closer. It opens with hypnotic edits, reaches its funky peak with the 10-minute epic of Reese Project's 'The Color of Love', and winds down with that cosmic Legowelt vibe.
