Pressure - A comfortingly numb look at the future of deep dance music. The subtleties and patients of DVS1's music is a main factor in his style, To sum up Pressure... It swaddles and caresses you in sound. Pressure fits as DVS1's most textured tracks to date with a sweet bell-chime organ sound that is ever present in the entirety of the song changing ever so slightly, followed and added to by text book perfect 808/909 programming. The real mood and depth of this song comes from the emotional pressure of its bassline, which doesn’t even show itself until your well into the groove. Pressure needs to be played loud and heavy to truly understand the resonance and power of this track!!


polyphonic love - A dark and twisted track that takes the listener on a bit of a journey in to the land of the lost. One may imagine a dark and dusty early morning with soft strobes echoing in the corner and heavy feet... trying to push on for dawn. A smooth bassline is the lead for this deep and dirty dance-floor love affair, soft transitions into rapid fire high-hats and reverberated-off-timed claps to offer just the perfect amount of change that keep you tied to the evolving bassline The key elements of this track are pushed then pulled over and over while anticipation builds and builds for a climax. What gives this track appeal is that the climax is never reached allowing the listener/dancer the freedom to just lose themselves in the sound..
