A simple two-track affair here, as Romanian deep house dude Dirty Culture, AKA Tudor-Radu Barbu (what a fantastic name), comes to respected Japanese imprint Apt International.The tracks in question are The Bright Side itself and My Name Is Beautiful. Both are quite trad-sounding affairs – deep house leaning towards Jersey garage rather than tech-house – but both have plenty of dancefloor energy. The instrumental The Bright Side has some wicked sax work towards the end, but My Name Is Beautiful is my pick, coming on like vintage Junior Vasquez (albeit a little mellower) with its near-tribal drums and chopped-up female vocal.
All told, something of a treat for the older heads, while the current resurgence of interest in traditional house and garage means it could reach to younger floors as well. So let's hear it…
