Vintage Culture Talks New Music, Relationship With Spinnin’ Records, Dream Collabs & More!
As Brazil is currently delivering exciting new artists and fresh sounds as steady as the clock, one of these highlights is now officially released on Spinnin’ Deep. It’s a cool, inventive club version of Maverick Sabre‘s 2019 pop hit ‘Slow Down’, delivered by Brazilian tastemakers Vintage Culture and Slow Motion, ready to make waves once again on a global scale! We had the pleasure of interviewing Vintage Culture to celebrate the release of this awesome remix.
Let’s start off with your remix of ‘Slow Down’. How happy are you with the finished product and its home on Spinnin’ Records?
“I’m very proud of this remix. We needed to rise to the occasion and have the instrumental equal the quality of Maverick Sabre’s and Jorja Smith’s vocal performances. Slow Motion ( my collaborator on the remix ) and I spent a lot of time on the vocals- these performances are passionate and emotional. We built the track around these amazing singers while creating an instrumental that would keep the fans moving.”
Under 7 months into 2020 and you’ve already released 7 productions. How do you manage to keep such a high workflow moving?
“This has been one of the most creative periods of my life. I’ve never been more focused on my songwriting and productions. As tours have been paused in 2020, I’ve spent my time developing my craft in the recording studio. I’ve been working with collaborators from around the world- online / digitally of course. Music has always inspired me, but never more than during this time. I feel that I’m getting closer to my true sound.”
Over the past couple of years, you have cemented yourself as one of the brightest artists on Spinnin’ Records roster. How have you found your time as an artist on the Spinnin’ roster?
“I’ve been with Spinnin for 4 years and my relationship with the label has grown stronger. They respect my creativity and give me the freedom to experiment with new ideas. The A&R team- both at the label and MusicAllStars Publishing- is attuned to my personal taste in songwriting and vocalists. The combined A&R teams at Spinnin’ and MusicAllStars have provided some of the best vocal performances on my tracks and helped me develop relationships with other talented writers.”
With your releases, you have cemented yourself within the deep house/Brazilian bass scene. Is there a certain genre/style that you haven’t released and you’d love to?
“I don’t like to label or limit myself within a specific style. I try to make music without being categorized. This year I’ll do more in the house music genre and expand my sound even further. The songwriting will always come first, no matter the genre. Strong melodies and tracks that make the fans move will always be at the forefront of my sound. “
With multiple collaborations in your career, if you only had 1 collaboration remaining in your career, who would you want it to be with?
“Interesting question, perhaps a collaboration with Depeche Mode or New Order. Two of the groups that inspired me in the very beginning of my career. So I would have come full circle with a final collaboration with one of these legendary artists.”
When it comes to you stepping into the studio and creating a track from scratch, what comes first in your process? the drop, the breakdown, the melody or all of the above.
“There are many exceptions to this rule, but generally a vocal melody inspires me and helps to set the mood for the instrumental. I take great care to build the instrumental around the singer and compliment the vocal performance. A good example of this is George Morgan’s performance on my Billboard Number #1 Dance Club track, ‘In The Dark’. George’s voice jumps out of the speakers. This great singer inspired me to make a track equally exciting and interesting.”
With the cancellation of all shows across the world, how have you found it is to be in/near your studio for most of the day working on or finishing new music?
“In the studio during this period, I’ve created over 40 new original tracks, which are in different stages of productions. Additionally, more remixes are coming up including my remix with Fancy Inc of Robin Schulz new single, “Oxygen.” I also have a remix on the way of a great Duke Dumont track, an Australian group called, Crooked Colours and several more. “
With this break in performances, what have you enjoyed most about taking time off from touring and what do you miss most about the lack of shows? “What I’ve enjoyed most, outside of the musical advancement that I’ve explained, is time with family, friends, and my dog, Bentin. I’ve had more time to look at the business side of music and get to know more people in these areas – at the labels and publishers.”
Ending the interview, would you like to share any exclusive news with us? 😉
“I’ll be appearing at Tomorrowland’s online festival on July 26th. There are new originals on the way with some of the biggest European producers in our business. I look forward to seeing the fans as soon as possible on the road. Until then, stay safe and stay healthy.”

New EDM Friday returns with a fresh batch of tunes by Dimitri Vegas, David Guetta, Loreen FISHER, Oliver Heldens, and more.
New EDM Friday is back once again with fresh music from Dimitri Vegas, David Guetta, Loreen, FISHER, Oliver Heldens, EDX, WHIPPED CREAM, and more. This week’s roundup is overflowing with massive collabs, dancefloor-ready anthems, and genre-blurring heat that shows just how wide the EDM landscape has become.
Dimitri Vegas, David Guetta, Loreen – Pum Pum
Two dance music giants take an unexpected detour into drum & bass territory with ‘Pum Pum’, the first-ever DnB release from Dimitri Vegas and David Guetta. Featuring powerhouse Swedish vocalist Loreen, the track is a high-octane blend of rapid-fire percussion, fierce energy, and an unforgettable vocal hook. It’s bold, genre-bending, and marks a fresh chapter for all three artists involved.
FISHER, bbyclose – Blackberries
FISHER and bbyclose just dropped a serious contender for song of the summer with ‘Blackberries’, out now via CATCH & RELEASE. Built on a juicy rolling bassline, sun-soaked synths, and lush pads, the track delivers pure summer euphoria. bbyclose brings a catchy, confident vocal that seals the deal. Already rinsed at FISHER’s [UNVRS] residency in Ibiza and festivals like Electric Forest and Solidays, ‘Blackberries’ is playful, punchy, and primed to dominate global dancefloors all season long.
Oliver Heldens x Poppy Baskcomb – Heart Cry
Oliver Heldens taps into a deeper, more emotional register with ‘Heart Cry’, a melodic techno-meets-trance collaboration with rising UK vocalist Poppy Baskcomb. Out now on Heldeep Records, the track blends cinematic sound design with haunting vocals, creating a slow-burning tension that feels both intimate and expansive. Following a massive global tour and continued momentum as both Oliver Heldens and HI-LO, this release highlights his evolving artistry and ability to surprise while still moving dancefloors.
EDX – Moyo
Swiss house icon EDX returns with ‘Moyo’, a powerful, rhythm-driven single that blends his signature progressive style with tribal-inspired textures and deep club grooves. Out now via PinkStar Recordings, the track’s title, meaning “heart” in several South African languages, perfectly reflects its emotional and percussive core. From immersive, hypnotic builds to a driving drop built for late-night floors, ‘Moyo’ captures both movement and meaning. As EDX celebrates the 25th anniversary of his influential Sirup Music imprint, this release proves he’s still innovating, evolving, and shaping the global house scene with every beat.
WHIPPED CREAM – collide
WHIPPED CREAM unleashes collide, a genre-bending festival anthem that pushes her sonic vision to bold new heights. Out now via Monstercat, the track opens with haunting vocals, delivered by WHIPPED CREAM herself, before escalating into a euphoric drop packed with pulsating bass, rapid hi-hats, and a futuristic Eurodance edge. It’s raw, emotional, and high-energy all at once, showcasing her rare ability to blend powerful songwriting with leftfield electronic production. Following recent standouts like ‘never mine’ and ‘u don’t just wanna die’, collide cements WHIPPED CREAM’s status as one of the most innovative voices in modern dance music.

Tiesto, the legendary DJ will take the stage with a specially curated trance set.

Dreamstate is a staple of the U.S. trance scene known for its euphoric energy. It will be taking place on November 21–22 in Long Beach, California. The stunning waterfront venue is also right next to the iconic Queen Mary. Dreamstate stands as one of the few large-scale trance festivals in the country, alongside newer events like Into the Sequence.
Tiësto’s appearance at Dreamstate will follow up his surprise “In Search of Sunrise” set at EDC Las Vegas earlier this year. Overall, the set was an emotional throwback to his origins in trance. It served as a reminder of the timeless sound that first launched his global career. With this Dreamstate set marking only his second trance performance of 2025, fans are left wondering: is this the beginning of a full-blown trance resurgence for Tiësto?
While the success of his genre-blending Prismatic Tour is still fresh, many fans are hopeful that more classic sets—or even a dedicated return to trance tour—could be on the horizon.
