Label boss
HUSH & Mistress
DVS1 runs two labels out of Minneapolis: HUSH, his own imprint since 2011, and its sub-label Mistress Recordings, launched in 2013 to put out the “secret weapons” from his record bag.
Since 2013
Mistress Recordings
“Record label curated & run by DVS1”, based in Minneapolis and “touching all corners of the dancefloor since 2013”: house, techno and everything in between, from producers he plays out.
