Perhaps best-loved for his dynamic take on techno in both his productions and his DJ sets — having been involved and around music for nearly 30 years, @DVS1 is an expert in his field, a true veteran of the scene whose roots extend beyond DJing into grassroots raves and event promotion in his native Minneapolis. 

These days, he continues to push his own limits, getting involved in and starting up projects that fuel his love of music, but also his love of the community he was raised in and helped build. His most recent venture, Aslice, is a software-based platform which proposes a fairer music ecoysystem for DJs and promoters is in its early days, but its concept is bringing up questions for both me and Zak. 

For episode 47, we're exploring the value of art, the definition of success, his own personal perceptions of his worth as an artist.

Donny Burlin - Spring Into Action (dburlinLIVEmix_03.2025)

Do You Like to Go Dancing? is a high-energy collaboration between Maxwell JS and B8E that blurs the lines between techno, house, and straight-up dance. Built around a simple, driving drum pattern, a hypnotic acid pluck bass, and a lush synth line, the track keeps things uplifting and fast-paced without overcomplicating the groove. Featuring a comedic sample, it’s equal parts fun and fierce—designed for peak-time movement and late-night smiles. Possibly the duo’s strongest work to date.

Electrify Your Brain is Sinestro’s nod to '90s electronic chaos—pounding kicks, loopy drums, wild synth stabs, and a growling bassline that doesn’t let up. The track rides an ongoing vocal that ties it all together, bringing a fun, danceable energy with a dark undercurrent. It’s pure Sinestro: retro vibes, techno muscle, and no wasted motion.

Old Tape I did in 98 for a dancer friend. These were the songs that would get her moving! This is Side B

Edge Case Sigma is the debut from Randolina McNasty, a longtime underground head with many aliases but one mission: keep the floor moving. This track is a late-night/early-morning burner, stitched together from elements of minimal, techno, and deep house. A steady, thudding kick anchors the groove, while hypnotic builds, swelling textures, and crisp hats push it forward. Call it pumping psychedelic minimal deep house, or just call it what it is: relentless and locked-in.

Ecobeat 4 - Damon Bradley

a ghetto tech-infused hybrid that rides the line between house, techno, and broken beat. Deep bass, raunchy vocals, and crisp, sweet drum hits make this one both fun and filthy. It’s the kind of track you want to listen to on its own, but it also plays well in sets... made for openings, transitions, or layering under a steady 4/4. Retro in feel, forward in execution
