With tracks on various esteemed labels in recent years, including Armada Deep, Ultra Records, Ministry of Sound, Spinnin’ Records, Dim Mak, and Mad Decent, Vato received high praise from the latter’s head honcho, American superstar Diplo, prior to launching a myriad of releases on his own Dirty House label.
