Vintage Culture & Sonny Fodera / Louie Vega & The Martinez Brothers - EP14 [Defected]

The fourteenth edition of Defected’s vinyl series continues to commit the label’s biggest digital releases to wax, delivering some of the finest house music previously unavailable on vinyl. This special release celebrates all things Vintage Culture, who over the last ten years has established himself as an international powerhouse, reaching #11 in DJ MAG’s Top 100 DJs in 2022. The A-Side of this four-track EP features two versions of his 2022 hit ‘Nightjar’. First is the original collaboration with Australian house producer Sonny Fodera, featuring vocalist SHELLS, followed by the Bassbin Remix from Italian producer and SNATCH! Records owner Riva Starr. Both versions of ‘Nightjar’ have universal appeal thanks to the diversity of their collaborators. A Vintage Culture collection wouldn’t be complete without some signature remixes; the B-side kicks off with his version of Louie Vega & The Martinez Brothers’ ‘Let It Go’ featuring Marc E. Bassy. This is followed by a VIP remix of ‘It Is What It Is’, one of the DJ’s earliest original tracks and his Defected debut, featuring Canadian talent Elise LeGrow.
