Lil Gotit - Wok

"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.

dreamdance - Good Mood Mix (16-06-2025)

The wait is over - it’s time to reveal the artist behind the very first episode of our new monthly podcast series, created with one clear goal: put the music first.

The mastermind behind the first mix is none other than Rødhåd, delivering a powerful 3-deck, vinyl-only set recorded back in 2005 - a rare treasure from one of the greatest DJs, producers, and label owners of our time.

If you haven’t tuned in yet, now’s the perfect moment to press play and get Lost In Rytm. Huge thanks to everyone who’s already listened and supported the launch. We hope you’re enjoying the concept as much as we are. No names will be revealed again until the next episode drops - and the next one lands tomorrow.
