With more than a decade in the industry, performances in 31 countries, and a recurring presence at some of the leading Pride events and Tribal House parties in the United States, the Brazilian DJ and producer continues to build an international career.

Erik Vilar’s story is closely connected to the evolution of electronic music and, in particular, the Tribal House scene. From his native Brazil to stages across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, the DJ and producer has spent more than a decade building a career defined by the energy of his sets and a sound that also explores House, Progressive, Deep House, and Tech House.

Born in Campina Grande, Paraíba, Erik Vilar began his career as a DJ in 2015. In just over a decade, his music has taken him to 31 countries across five continents. His presence has become especially consistent in the United States, where he is a regular part of the international Pride circuit and major Tribal House events.

Year after year, Erik Vilar is included in the lineups of major electronic music gatherings and Pride celebrations in cities across the United States. His recurring appearances reflect the place he has established within an international community that embraces Tribal House as one of its defining musical languages.

Events where he has performed include Planet Pride in New York; Winter Party in Miami; Masterbeat in Los Angeles; and CircuitMOM in Chicago, alongside other major parties and gatherings connected to the international Tribal House and Pride scenes.

Rather than being isolated appearances, these events have become a consistent part of his professional calendar. His continued presence in their lineups over the years has made him a familiar and sought-after artist within this circuit, where his sound connects directly with audiences.

His journey through these cities also reflects the international reach of his career: from New York to Miami, from Los Angeles to Chicago, and from the United States to other continents, the Brazilian DJ has brought his interpretation of Tribal House to diverse audiences.

Throughout his career, he has also shared the booth and stage with artists such as Anitta, Pabllo Vittar, Ultra Naté, and Roger Sanchez, building a career that brings together different generations, styles, and scenes within electronic music.

Erik Vilar’s evolution has extended beyond the DJ booth. Alongside his work as a DJ, he has developed a career as a music producer, building a discography of original productions, collaborations, and remixes.

In 2021, he dropped «Hala,» his debut single as an artist, which reached Beatport’s Top 100 Hype Releases chart. Since then, his catalog has continued to grow with standalone tracks such as «Summer Love,» «Enjoy the Silence,» «Touch Me,» «Back to Black,» and «Credos e Cores,» alongside high-profile collaborative projects with renowned artists including Toni Garrido and Olodum.

His production work also includes official remixes for international artists such as Camila Cabello and Lil Nas X, broadening the reach of a sound rooted in Tribal House while drawing on different strands of electronic music.

His digital audience also reflects the reach of his work. Erik Vilar has surpassed 3 million plays on SoundCloud, while one of his live sets published on YouTube has currently exceeded 580,000 views.

In 2025, Erik Vilar marked ten years as a DJ with the release of “ALONE,” a production that celebrated a decade devoted to dance floors and the evolution of his musical identity.

In 2026, he released “Fire (It’s Time to Glow),” a track introduced during Pride that forms part of a new creative chapter in which the artist continues to explore new possibilities within his sound.

He is now preparing a new production with acclaimed DJ Eliad Cohen, a collaboration bringing together two names associated with the international electronic music scene and the Tribal House circuit.

For Erik Vilar, the dance floor has become much more than the stage on which he works. It is a meeting point for different cultures, cities, and audiences.

His presence at key events like Planet Pride, Winter Party, Masterbeat, and CircuitMOM alongside performances in 31 countries and a growing catalog as a producer highlights a career that continues to expand.

More than ten years after beginning his career, Erik Vilar continues to take a sound shaped around Tribal House from Brazil to the world, while remaining a recurring presence at some of the most important electronic music and Pride gatherings in the United States.
