DJ Susan Makes Label Debut With ‘Transformation’ Out Now via Dirtybird
April 24, 2026 — DJ Susan today joins the flock with his new single ‘Transformation’ out now via Dirtybird.
‘Transformation’ leans into a tightly coiled, late-night framework, built on rolling low-ends and crisp percussion that locks into a steady, forward pulse. Quick-tongued vocals and warped textures cut through with a playful edge as the track builds into a deep, plunging tech house grind. Designed for maximum impact, ‘Transformation’ carries the off-kilter swagger and boisterous energy that defines Dirtybird dancefloors.
‘Transformation’ marks a full-circle moment for DJ Susan. Following his appearance at Northern Nights in 2024, he now returns for the second edition of Dirtybird Campout x Northern Nights this July. ‘Transformation’ further solidifies his presence within the Dirtybird ecosystem, reflecting the community-focused ethos that has also shaped his own Hood Politics imprint.
DJ Susan stands as a leading voice in dance music, shaping his identity as both an artist and label head through Hood Politics Records, a platform built to actively support and elevate the community around him. Alongside this, his work spans releases on Glasgow Underground, Repopulate Mars, and Helix Records, reflecting a steady presence across influential corners of the global house circuit. With ‘Transformation,’ that spirit carries into the Dirtybird world, aligning with a catalog long defined by personality, community, and records that thrive in club spaces built on togetherness.
