Brazilian powerhouse Vintage Culture continues his unstoppable ascent with the release of ‘Upon Your Skin,’ the inaugural single on his newly launched label, Affairs. Following years of international expansion, with landmark releases on the world’s most influential electronic imprints, Vintage Culture now sets the stage for a new chapter, curating a platform that reflects both his global vision and deeply rooted connection to local scenes.

Born out of countless nights touring the globe, Affairs arrives as more than a record label – it is a cultural statement of sound, fashion, and lifestyle. The label will not only serve as the home for standout tracks from Lukas’ sets, but also a vehicle to highlight collaborations with rising talent, projects with established names, and the discovery of new artists whose creativity captures his attention.

Leading the charge is ‘Upon Your Skin,’ a shimmering cut that encapsulates Vintage Culture’s ability to balance emotional resonance with peak-time club energy. Built on crisp production, an addictive topline, and a hypnotic groove, the track is lifted further by vocalist Noah Kulaga, whose indie leaning delivery adds a disarming warmth to the mix. Kulaga’s grainy timbre, understated phrasing and confessional lyric sensibility bring a touch of DIY intimacy, think lo-fi edges smoothed into glossy dance architecture, so the chorus feels both immediate and human, the kind of hook that lingers long after the lights come up.

Collaboration has always been at the heart of Vintage Culture’s story, and with Affairs this ethos is formalised and expanded into a global community. ‘Upon Your Skin’ doubles as a mission statement: uniting club ready production with indie-coloured songwriting, while honouring Lukas’s Brazilian roots. By pairing cross-border voices like Kulaga’s with forward-thinking electronic craft, Affairs pushes dance music forward, not just as a genre, but as a cultural movement that thrives on contrast, conversation and shared creative risk.

‘Upon Your Skin’ marks the beginning of this exciting new era. As Vintage Culture launches Affairs, fans worldwide can expect a steady stream of forward-thinking releases destined to set trends both inside and outside the club.
