Vintage Culture continues his momentum with ‘Hands Up’

Vintage Culture continues his prolific run of releases with ‘Hands Up’, a new collaboration with fellow Brazilian producer Volkoder, out via his own imprint, Affairs. Rooted in a driving tech house framework, the track delivers a bass-led, high-impact cut designed with the dancefloor firmly in mind. The release arrives during a packed period for Vintage Culture, including his upcoming debut residency at Pacha Ibiza this June.

‘Hands Up’ captures Vintage Culture’s ongoing momentum across both his performances and catalogue. The collaboration with Volkoder creates a natural combination, resulting in a track that leans into rhythmic tension, heavy low ends, and direct energy built for peak-time moments. The collaboration also taps into the growing creative network surrounding Affairs, Vintage Culture’s label and multidisciplinary platform that spotlights both established names and emerging voices across the global scene.

Volkoder enters this space as one of Brazil’s most consistent underground exports, known for his groove-driven house productions and releases on influential labels. His instinct for functional, rhythm-led production aligns with the direction of Affairs, where the focus remains on music that translates directly in clubs while maintaining a distinct artistic identity. Together on ‘Hands Up’, the pairing reflects a shared approach in precision, movement, and an understanding of what drives modern dancefloors.

The release also lands ahead of a significant summer for Vintage Culture, marked by his debut residency Affairs at Pacha Ibiza, which shares its name with his label, alongside upcoming appearances including EDC Las Vegas, a headline show at Fabric London, and an Affairs edition at Pacha NYC, building on their strong collaboration.

‘Hands Up' is out now via Affairs.
