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