Vintage Culture
Tomorrowland 2022 - WE2
Vintage Culture takes the Tomorrowland 2022 stage and immediately establishes a vibe: this is melodic house for the heart and the feet, a warm, inviting hug of a set. The energy is positive, the crowd is singing along, and we’re all momentarily convinced that everything is, in fact, going to be alright. Technically, it’s a smooth ride at 127.6 BPM, with a clever harmonic play between keys like 7A and 10B that keeps the progression feeling fresh and emotional. The energy balance is near-perfect for this genre—a strong, funky mid-range (0.50 avg) carries the melodic weight over a solid bass foundation, creating a sound that’s both driving and deeply musical.
His mixing is organic and song-focused, letting tracks breathe and build naturally. The track selection is impeccable. He opens with the HotLap remix of MEDUZA’s ‘Bad Memories’, immediately locking in a groove, while his own ‘Free’ with Fancy Inc & Roland Clark is an undeniable, soulful anthem. The inclusion of Tiga’s ‘Mind Dimension (Kölsch Remix)’ is a deep, intelligent curveball, and his remix of Franky Wah’s ‘Under The Sun’ is a sunshine-drenched highlight.
Throwing in the Charlotte de Witte & Enrico Sangiuliano remix of ‘The Age Of Love’ is a bold, techno-tinged power move. The journey is beautifully paced: from the infectious opening of ‘Bad Memories’, through the euphoric peak of his ‘Free’, to the final, celebratory blowout of the SOFI TUKKER ‘Drinkee’ remix with John Summit. It’s a masterclass in mainstage warmth.
