His career took off in 2020 following the release of his Jorja Smith and Maverick Sabre remix. Vintage Culture was already established in Brazil and making his mark on the international stage when the pandemic hit, but he used the downtime to write over 200 tracks. That creative flurry gave rise to a new house sound that was more emotional and reflective of his personal feelings. The results came in tunes like the Defected Records’ release, “It Is What It Is” featuring Elise LeGrow with warm, rolling drums, expressive synths and stirring piano keys. That track made a global impact and picked uphigh-profile support from plenty of major players that have continued to come in ever since. In its wake, there followed other chart-topping hits on Defected like 'Nightjar' feat SHELLS and plenty more on vital labels like Insomniac, Ultra and Sony.Vintage Culture has since enjoyed platinum success on multiple singles, as well as topping the Billboard Club / Dance and Spotify Dance Charts. He has collaborated with and remixed an array of artists, such as the late Maxi Jazz, Rufus Du Sol, John Summit, Meduza, The Martinez Brothers & Louie Vega,Diplo, Roland Clark, Aurora, Sonny Fodera, Claptone, James Hype, Annabel Englund, Solardo and so many more. His remixes of the likes of Rufus Du Sol, Bob Moses and Franky Wah prove just as popular- and have helped to make him a firm fixture on the world's most influential radio stations from BBC Radio 1 and KISS FM in the UK to NRJ in France, Slam FM in the Netherlands, SiriusXM in the USA and TripleJ in Australia, as well as the most streamed artist on all of Beatport in 2022.As a DJ, Vintage Culture is no less focused.
