DVS1

Khutoretsky was born in 1976 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, then part of the Soviet Union. He moved to the United States at a young age, where he shared his time between New York City and Minneapolis. His parents divorced early on and he spent a good deal of his adolescence in and out of trouble, switching schools several times as a result. Khutoretsky credits eight years of piano lessons and synthesizer-based radio music as his earliest musical influences.

After a teenage initiation into the Midwest rave scene, Khutoretsky began throwing his own underground parties at the age of 18. These parties would be where Khutoretsky first made his name in the scene, overseeing virtually every part of each event from promotion, to sound, to logistics. The parties quickly grew in size and popularity, often hosted in unofficial warehouse venues around the city.

After a brief stint behind bars, Khutoretsky went on to open his own club in Minneapolis, run and operate HUSH Studios, run and operate HUSH sound and make his first steps towards a more legitimate music career.{{cite web|last1=Jackson|first1=Glen|title=DVS1 Retraces His Roots in New Documentary|url=http://www.xlr8r.com/news/2015/02/dvs1-retraces-his-roots-in-new-documentary/|website=XLR8R|date=9 February 2015 |accessdate=29 April 2015}}

DVS1's first release came in 2009, on Ben Klock's influential Klockworks label. To date, he has 8 official vinyl releases and over two dozen remixing credits under his name.{{cite web|title=DVS1|url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/1537114-DVS1?filter_anv=0&type=Releases|website=Discogs|accessdate=29 April 2015}} In an interview with DJ Times, he stated that he considers himself a DJ first and a producer second.{{cite web|last1=Tremayne|first1=Jim|title=DVS1: Back to the Old School|url=http://djtimes.com/back-old-school/|website=DJ Times|date=5 February 2014 |accessdate=29 April 2015}}

DVS1 launched his own imprint, HUSH, in 2011. In 2013, he announced the launch of a new sub-label, Mistress Recordings, showcasing "house, techno and everything in between."{{cite web|title=DVS1 Launches Mistress Recordings|url=http://www.residentadvisor.net/news.aspx?id=21172|website=Resident Advisor|accessdate=29 April 2015}} He described the purpose of the label as a way to release the "secret weapons" of his DJ bag.{{cite web|last1=Matthew|first1=Terry|title=DVS1 Interview|url=http://5chicago.com/features/dvs1-chicago-bound-interview/|website=5Magazine|date=13 February 2014 |accessdate=29 April 2015}}

Regularly touring all over the world, DVS1 makes relatively frequent appearances at the legendary Berghain nightclub in Berlin, where he plays six to eight times a year. Between his time touring, working in the studio, and preparing sets, he continues to host parties in his home town of Minneapolis, which are held in underground venues and not publicly advertised. In 2019, DVS1 launched [https://www.supportorganizesustain.org/ Support. Organize. Sustain.] in Amsterdam, a series of panel discussions and informational seminars addressing topics and issues facing the electronic music community.

In 2022, Khutoretsky launched [https://aslice.com/ Aslice], a platform offering performing, paid DJs the opportunity to voluntarily share their playlists and contribute a portion of their performance fee back to the artists whose music was performed in their sets. Khutoretsky's vision with Aslice is to reduce the disparity between substantial DJ fees and the low royalties for sales and streaming typically earned by artists and music producers. Aslice suggests 5% of a DJs performance fee to be returned to the artists whose music was performed. DJs such as Richie Hawtin, Rødhåd, Oscar Mulero, Surgeon, Amotik, Lindsey Herbert among many others are all actively contributing portions of their DJ fees through Aslice.{{cite web | url=https://www.musicradar.com/news/aslice-software-tool-electronic-music-producers-get-paid | title=Aslice is the new software tool that's making sure dance music producers get paid | date=5 May 2022 }}{{cite web | url=https://www.attackmagazine.com/features/long-read/aslice-can-an-altruistic-dj-payment-program-work/ | title=Aslice: Can an Altruistic DJ Payment Program Work? | date=18 May 2022 }}
