Jeff Vigilante (aka VGLNTE) was born into a music-rich household where he was exposed to many, diverse artists from a very young age. It wasn't long before his organic passion manifested into a desire to create when Jeff began studying the drums and percussion instruments at the age of 10.

Spending much time around other developing musicians, Jeff also took interest in guitar and eventually electronic music and bought his first set of turntables at the age of 15. By then, nothing else took hold of his interest quite like house music and DJ'ing. He began to grow his vinyl collection often spending hours at a local record store where he'd use whatever money he earned as a young teenager to purchase vinyl.

In the early 2000's Jeff was now old enough to access all of New York's legendary nightclubs. This is where his world truly expanded by having the unique opportunity to see many of the globe's best DJ's perform weekly around the city. The most influential of which, for Jeff, would become his time at Danny Tenaglia's legendary club - Vinyl/Arc which closed in 2004.

Not long after this, still early in his DJ career, Jeff had the fortune to play in supporting roles to many of his idolized DJ's at NYC's most popular clubs such as Pacha, Shelter, and Marquee to name a few. As DJ'ing progressed, Jeff quickly took interest to learn the art of production and had his first releases in 2009.

After a brief hiatus, he is now re-emerging and pushing harder than ever reengaging with his house music routes to create new, vibrant productions that reflect his rich history in the club scene. His first EP as VLGNTE came on Phobiq Records in 2022 and his second shortly after on WLD Recordings with more on the way this year!

Jeff draws much of his inspiration from artists like Danny Tenaglia, Deep Dish and Carl Cox to Led Zeppelin and Jack White and attempts to create hard-pushing techno and house tracks that transcend multiple genres to result in a truly unique sound.
