AIR 047 / DVS1 by AIR published on 2022-07-27T10:58:52Z 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.

I can’t just DJ every weekend, that’s not enough for me." 2022-07-27T11:07:49Z Comment by AIR Keep your day job, as long as you can! The freedom to do music without money being a pressure allows you to be 100% more free to do whatever you want.” 2022-07-27T11:06:52Z Comment by AIR “When I get to go out and DJ, I can almost block out any negative things. As long as that is in balance enough that I can have those amazing experiences and I’m able to provide them for others… The other little bullshit things don’t stop me from continuing to be passionate. If this becomes a job, I’ll go get another job.” 2022-07-27T11:03:34Z
