on repeat!!! Looove it and makes me happy

"All I want to do is express what I love." The beloved Berghain resident talks about learning from failure, putting in the time and how good sound systems have changed his life.

Born and bred in Minneapolis, Zak Khutoretsky, AKA DVS1, has been throwing and playing raves for decades. Now 47, he's at the top of his game. As one of Berghain's most popular residents and a producer known for his deep and versatile sound, he's amassed thousands of followers around the world, releasing on Klockworks, Transmat and Ostgut Ton, in addition to his own label, HUSH.

Not just an artist, Khutoretsky has garnered a reputation for speaking critically about the challenges facing the electronic music community, notably through his essay about the battle between art and entertainment, and more recently through the inauguration of his revenue sharing platform ASlice. The organisation was designed in 2020 as an antidote to the pay disparity between DJ earnings and producer earnings, and its basic conceit is that DJs submit playlists of their tracks and share small percentages of their gig fees to be redistributed among the artists whose tracks they've played.

In this RA Exchange live from ADE, Khutoretsky talks with journalist Christine Kakaire about the platform and the impetus behind it, as well as his underlying tendency to be a "fixer,"  from the problems in his house to the issues he sees plaguing his community. Listen to the episode in full.

Mesmer's Summer Anticipation Mix Vol. 3

Tech House – often misunderstood and unfairly written off as commercial – takes centre stage in the upcoming Blitzcast by our good friend Sylwa, who has been influenced by its original, understated sound and approach, and now thrills with a soulful interpretation.

Blitzcast 028 comes courtesy of Sylwa – here’s what he has to share about the mix.

> This mix features tracks released exclusively between 1996 and 2005, with a strong leaning toward the sound pioneered by early UK tech house figures like Terry Francis, Eddie Richards, and the circle surrounding London’s Fabric club and Swag Records.
I aimed to create an obscure, moody atmosphere with long blends, moving through stripped-back, loop-heavy cuts, dubby stabs, and acid lines—gradually brightening into more melody-driven tracks toward the end. You’ll hear some crackles and slight mixing imperfections; I guess it's the unavoidable nature of mixing with vinyl. <

We also had time for a swift conversation with Sylwa about his background and musical approach - find out more in the Blitz Magazine on our homepage:

Didn't sit right with me to think that y'all wouldn't come to my page if you wanted some more chilled-out techno to listen to, so I decided to fix that and give you 1hr of more relaxed and sensual techno.

Daveed's & The Crazycookerz - Where I Am (Long Play)

Verse1
Golden sun across my face
Morning beats, a soft embrace
Rhythm moves, it feels so near
Whisper low, I’m dancing here

Chorus
La la la, corazón (my heart beats slow)
Move with me, let it flow
La la la, mi amor (the night still glows)
In the rhythm, we both know

Verse2
Every step is light and free
Shadows fade in melody
Simple joy, the day begins
Feel the fire beneath my skin

Chorus
La la la, corazón (my heart beats slow)
Move with me, let it flow
La la la, mi amor (the night still glows)
In the rhythm, we both know

Outro
Breathe it in, let it stay
Dance the morning into day
Corazón, mi amor,
I am yours forevermore

Ritmo del Corazón
