A DJ who never wanted to be a rock star.

A true advocate for the integrity of the scene, emphasizing the importance of the dancers and the music itself over the spotlight on the DJ. That’s DVS1, returning to Peti Kupe on November 8th for a joint event by Sequences and Hush! In a night defined by raw, powerful sound, he’ll be joined by Hush residents Insolate and Phrasal.

The story of Zak Khutoretsky, now known worldwide as DVS1, begins in Minneapolis, where his family emigrated from Saint Petersburg. As a teenager, he was rebellious and constantly in trouble, expelled from school and involved in illegal activities such as organizing raves and forging documents.

That early rebellious spirit, combined with his deep respect for the craft, made him an integral part of the underground scene. His events became legendary, and his vinyl collection grew to over 30,000 records. Today, DVS1 is celebrated across the globe, known for his powerful, high-energy sets that pay tribute to techno’s roots. With a residency at Berghain, he has become one of the key figures of the global techno movement.

His sound will be perfectly matched by Croatian techno icon Insolate and Phrasal, Hush’s rising force currently based in Berlin. This isn’t just another party, it’s a return to authentic club culture, built on rebellion, passion, and the spirit of the 90s rave scene.
