DVS1 Interview & DJ Skills Masterclass at IMS Ibiza 2017

[@kevzeh]

DVS1 is my spirit animal, this guy just gets it

[@luukh.749]

First I loved harder Industrial/Warehouse Techno but then one night at De School in Amsterdam DVS1 played an all-night set and it changed my whole perspective of Techno..

[@jesssejohnson]

Same... haha december 21st each year before corona he'd be there. Most insane atmosphere he creates there.... saw him couple of weeks ago again in de school ;)

[@jamiedavid8021]

Saw him in Berghain recently...WOW he is off the scale!!! I love him so much

[@A-Grat-A]

Oh yes, he definitely knows how to play Hain soundsystem like no one.

[@hastre]

I LOVE THIS GUY. People tend to automatically put producers and dj-s in the same basket. IT IS NOT THE SAME. I love producing and I never had in mind to play in front of people. I just love writing and making something new. I am experimenting with production for about a year now and It was trial and error. My sound doesn't sound professional and my music skills are really not that great. But I still love it, I love expressing my feelings and being able to plant it in someone else.

[@SK1974ification]

Probably one of the most honest conversations about old and new. Tech vs analogue.

[@tommymack2989]

Very inspirational. DVS1 is a legend

[@williamgillespie8740]

Incredibly inspiring and by far my favourite DJ-great to hear his words

[@TheFv47]

The single greatest musical experience you will ever have is watching dvs1. Thank me later

[@JsillsTheBMF]

true proper techno at its highest level

[@IamAvni]

He is so humble, I love him!!! People watch and learn, not only his skills but is attitude too please.

[@tamarachetty6894]

@DVS1 hit the nail on the head off gaining experience and having failed gigs with trail and error. Loving it

[@xiauthenticism]

I hate seeing so many people downplay these showcases of skills because of little hiccups or they're not showing what the artist's are doin. If you are really about dj'ing you're paying attention whether there's enough content or not. Listen and learn. Great class DVS1!

[@bramjager450]

I saw 2 sets this year from this man!! It was AWESOME !!

[@jasonm2279]

The Bruce Willis of the DJ world. I like his perspectives on being an artist and DJ.

[@piotr803]

More like vin diesel

[@tonegoober]

haha cuz they bald amirite

[@skevhugh3536]

M u rite

[@GooPH00]

This should be called "ethics and tactics for the established DJ"

[@1312Pebbles]

It would have been cool to see what DVS1 is exactly doing when he is mixing. Saying that an on top view of the mixer and CDJ would have been cool! Otherwise cool interview!

[@mouinebouzaiene839]

man this guy is not from this planet i can tell ya

[@williammaguire4871]

Cdot Gdot check his Dommune mix

[@georgistefanov8919]

I just heard him a couple days ago. Man, i am still stunned by his masterskills. He is a true musician.

[@PinchHarmonic69]

He’s literally just touching high mid low EQs to blend in 2-3 tracks at a time. Some looping and effects for the transitions. Just like any other DJ.

[@N.n.i.k]

@@PinchHarmonic69 and you think that's easy? it's not mate

[@nemanjanikolic4545]

What a man, what a interview!!!

[@georgwahmer3961]

I am discovering dvs1 as a person through videos since a week and must say he is fucking humble, smart and special

[@N.n.i.k]

This guy is the reason why i live for music

[@thankyouforcoming1705]

I love how politely he said "there just too many f*cking DJs".

[@Boss-qv8oy]

DVS1 knows what time it is.

[@STRAKKERSTECHNO]

Live this guy .. speaking from the 💓

[@Dbulkss]

Great DJ/ Producer. I like his way that he breaks down the details in Djing.

[@______6057]

This is awesome. Good interview Carly. Thank you again Point Blank! And DVS1!

[@kareemkanj2421]

What a realist!

[@DeejayRach0]

Very special Interview .. much love

[@williamgillespie8740]

Two of his tracks were Ecks by DVS1-opening groove and Thesis by Skudge

[@tadsalyards]

Agreed that I'd have loved to see an overhead cam to see what he's doing exactly. Makes my Minneapolis blood proud.

[@mashedandconfused]

Huge respect for you DVS1. Bless you.

[@DeejayRach0]

very very thankful for this interview

[@aSFADVSrbWETRWEYHTET]

DVS1 is awesome and so is this interviewer who can't hide her crush! Great video overall

[@danecustance2734]

Love this guys vibe, just do you.

[@csselement]

I'd like to meet Zak. He seems really down to earth.

[@Nathan-np9zg]

i feel enlightened after that, DVS1 puts people to shame these days with for they get paid for and still call it 'DJing'

[@drewie123]

Amazing. What a guy.

[@maxattack3000]

DVS1 is the MAN!!!

[@RaquelFoster]

I watched five minutes of Andrea Oliva and almost never watched another one of these. But I can already tell this is infinitely more legit. Maybe it’s just cuz I like techno.

[@ausiamm]

thinking different nice voice the clarity is cool

[@adrienglbrt]

what a legend

[@TAZS]

This was awesome so much valuable info!

[@bazedjunkiii_tv]

true statement about ppl going for convenience in digital dj'ing.

[@malysev]

really nicely said about djs x producers, on point

[@djdreopo8729]

Great interview.

[@therealneal6567]

Best DJ around at this time. Peace Zak.

[@ashar711]

Well good interview !

[@tris421]

Would've been nicer for a DVS1 Production Masterclass!

[@ells101]

awww but the whole talk was about him being more of a dj than a producer

[@holotropik]

A really great interview and I appreciate the knowledge shared here 👍😎

[@nandoblondemobydick5438]

love when Dj´s try to play music they like but nobody knows it open doors for new comers and it is good for the art

[@ludovikmarlak4109]

This man toutch me with all his speaking.

[@steveworrell]

Fuck me I love listening to this guy.

[@Steve_643]

He’s doing what Traktor users are doing except he’s doing his own beat matching !!!!

[@a-borba]

NICE! good interview, thanks!!! But Point Blank, why did you put that camera angle while he was on the decks? Would be nice to see what he was doing! By the way, the title Masterclass was misplaced imo, I didn't see any 'masterclass'. But as I said, great video anyway :)

[@deactiva]

Great lessons

[@DelasVC]

gotta love that guy!

[@Decoy303]

He speaks 💯 %FACTS.

[@dennisgenovese227]

RECORDS ARE NUMBER 1 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@johnpaullovetek1809]

que ser humano maravilhoso é o DVS1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@miguesaenz333]

mastermind, love u zack!

[@TheBatastret]

Great stuff! Any new deconstructions from Ski this year?

[@skioakenfull]

coming soon :)

[@GabREAL1983]

he is a really good dj. i never got into how you can mix 3 records at once. i come from a turntableism background and can do chirps, flares etc but that shit wont work for me haha...

[@Pllayer064]

I only saw half the thumbnail and thought it was some execution scene from Schindler's List

[@musicselecta2956]

Very inspiring 🐱

[@MainlyMinimaldubs]

which dj/producers do you think he is talking about?

[@IsaacSMILE]

Like this guy.

[@Bazou01]

Boom!

[@ellalautier]

i got an ad from Domix on my phone right at 38:00 ....

[@000slappydirk]

Real talk

[@markambrazhevich6727]

Can anyone send the link to this berghain music page?

[@aahh6478]

If your looking on youtube just type in ostgut ton records. Thats their record label.

[@Nivenization]

Thank you.

[@aley211]

my man!

[@JanCarlo88]

cool guy, and damn, she's fine!

[@DJSTOEK]

🖤

[@karlhedonystream]

32:17, track id anyone?

[@williamgillespie8740]

There are a few loops going on but the main one is Skudge: thesis

[@williamgillespie8740]

Then moves into Discipline of Art (alex schultz Remix)

[@bartsimpson5772]

Blackbelt

[@xDjxBlack-lq6sl]

Hey you said the same thing I said everyday people don't want to work no more they just want to bring a little laptop push the button sync I don't like sink I don't like the new cheating stuff and now everybody download software that DJ it's not the same no more I still had my Technics 1200 never going nowhere and still have my records I had the new stuff too but I like the old stuff

[@sashadigweed]

Robot DJ

[@liammaher9461]

Is there actually a need for a 'masterclass' for beatmatching based DJ mixing? Cool thoughts on DJing philosophy etc but I struggle to find a need for a supposed 'masterclass' for DJing that relies solely on one technique.

[@evillain999]

fucking funny

[@ozdiaz1048]

thanks for mentioning the real DJ s and what I call is the SYNC BOYS with the technology which is kind bull shit. I have challenged some sync boys or wanna be DJs on a regular controller and they backed off because they can't ddjjjj .

[@Emontop1]

😀👍👍👍👍👍

[@djstez]

A DJ masterclass without actually seeing what the DJ does while mixing (from the top) Thats more clickbait than actually a masterclass...

[@csselement]

His concepts on DJing are far more valuable than the technical details you may be looking for.

[@s1nnocense]

@@csselement if you need other peoples concepts you should probably quit. a class is usually about learning how to bring YOUR concepts to life.

[@csselement]

@@s1nnocense you misunderstand my meaning but thanks for sharing your projection

[@chrisbrundrit8271]

You shouldn't be looking, you should be listening.....

[@InspectorSmeg]

Just listen to him and Shut up

[@tjmanou6422]

i dont even know why artists like these are called DJs. they should be called performers. producers take loops from records all the time to produce. He's kinda doing the same.

[@rutimasiripukdeesiripukdee6519]

because they mix in the moment with reaction from the audiences in the room. Thats a lot different than producing in your own studio.

[@brianmccloskey8575]

@Dusty Okken if you don't think tracks don't sound like mixes check out dub fires 2 hour boiler room, he's mastered djing and the mix sounds like a single track.

[@cryogenic_sleep4795]

25:55 what's the track coming up

[@williamgillespie8740]

Ecks DVS1

[@MrAngeloDy]

So much excitement, but music his playing is too flat...I mean don't get me wrong the transition are all perfect but that's about it...

[@bennywawzyniak316]

he said in the interview it takes him about 15-20 minutes to find the groove and get going, you cant expect a dj to bring a bunch of energy in 10 minutes

[@MrAngeloDy]

@@bennywawzyniak316 I'm sorry I didn't meant to offend anybody)

[@bennywawzyniak316]

@@MrAngeloDy no worries haha was just trying to explain how its Impossible to create a vibe in 10 minutes when they usually play 2-4 hours

[@MrAngeloDy]

I’ve reviewed video today… still not impressed. I have to admit transition was smooth an seamless, he was fast. Maybe tracks choice wasn’t too good, and no culmination, everything started flat and finished flat. I’ve seen dj’s who were able to build crazy as f@ck energy within two first tracks. I’m 45 y.o. techno guy. I’ve seen many, many dj’s and have experience playing on parties. Conclusion: technical but emotionless.

[@insideTheMirror_]

I wish I was just a producer and not have to be a shitty, poseur Dj. I mean fuck ,15yo kids also play music why the fuck do I have to play music too? DJing is a joke today Also this guy is a boss

[@andreasbarth5]

The interview is really amazing but I would have learned more about DJing watching him play the accordion for 10minutes than this “demo”

[@busywl69]

they don't soul no more

[@ShiatsuPT]

this is clothing store's background music

[@zeenuf00]

'Proper dj's' Whatever. 😅😅😅

[@justin7332]

severe dogma

[@ArgyllPiper90]

The same shitty questions in all these so called "masterclasses"...do you think vinyl has made you a better DJ. The electronic music scene has blown way out of proportion now, too commercial and mainstream with the big business money people exploiting it for their own gains.

[@dubstepphene82]

I agree. The reason why I love electronic music is that its not mainstream but that's starting to change

[@DeejayRach0]

Curtis Garner find underground artists that are not “mainstream”

[@racoonguy9001]

The only reason for DVS1 is there he is today is because he met Ben and Derrick. Releasing on Transmat and Klockworks.

[@kareemkanj2421]

Not entirely, his production and sets are really unique compared to others. You notice a difference between him and other actual techno DJ's

[@djtransitions1]

Not true at all

[@tedshin5611]

Not true. He is a phenomenal DJ... one of the best of our time.

[@racoonguy9001]

I know quite a few dj`s living in Sweden, the Midwest and in Berlin that are better than DVS1, but do not get booked all around the world. Same as there are plenty of hard working and brilliant actors that never gets to feature in a Hollywood movie. It is also about who you meet, timing and a bit of luck. He even says so himself at the end.Same as Ryan Elliott, brilliant Detroit dj that know is picked up by the Ostgut agency. He was lucky to meet Matthew Dear and be introduced Ghostly International. Same as Marcel and Ben was there at the right time to be picked as residents at Berghain.

[@irisssss604]

^ And?... what are you trying to say?. You have to ask yourself WHY them DJ's aren't getting booked around the world?.. Luck is being ready when the opportunity arises and i believe you create your own luck from the decisions you make and the work you put in. All these little time and place moments that happened for these artists happened when they were ready enough to take them with full force. DVS1 meeting Derrick or Klock would of been irrelevant if he wasnt an amazing DJ with a unique production style under his belt. But he was ready and had the skill set when the luck of the moment happened for him.

[@TheWxcvbn2011]

Good interview. Pretty terrible demo. Point Blank fails by not showing us what he is doing. And honestly what he is doing is not particularly impressive.

[@chrisbrundrit8271]

You are absolutely clueless.

[@surferxblood]

DJ's tryna make doing complicated...when it's really just a toy.

[@accidental.district]

SURFER BY BLOOD what

One too many lines backstage, by the sound of his nonsensical ramblings.
