Matthew Vultaggio aka Best Friends Club is a Canadian lofi/house producer and DJ with support from an unusual variety of artists including Martin Garrix and Foals.

The varied support is probably due to the variety in the sound so unapologetically unique to Best Friends Club. Pop sensibilities are borrowed from artists like Tom Misch and Kaytranada. The composition and arrangement from artists like Black Loops, Bellaire, and Harrison BDP. And these modern influences are balanced alongside the undeniably influential soul and vibe of black artists like Bill Withers, Gil-Scot Heron and Sade.

By combining all of these varied interests with creative cues from sample-based hip hop and thoughtful jazz legends of the past, Best Friends Club’s deep house treatment is distinctly modern and instantly classic.
