Few acts in dance music are as hot and happening as Vintage Culture is right now. The Brazilian tastemaker has been cultivating a considerable presence within electronic music over the past few years with a slew of singles, collabs, and high-profile remixes, and now reinforces his spot alongside the scene’s finest with this fresh take on Kasablanca’s 2020 single ‘Hold Me Close’, which was part of their six-track ‘Human Learning’ EP.
