Dvs1 All Night Long / Meilgaarden / Tommy Hart / Ryker

On December 5th, DVS1 steps into the booth at BASEMENT for an all night session celebrating 30 years of HUSH. The label, event series and studio has been a key facet of DVS1’s career. Since its inception, he’s used HUSH as a vessel to push his vision forward, without compromise or dilution. This night will be a masterclass; DVS1 is one of the key artists in the genre without any qualification or caveat. His roots go back to the storied Midwest rave scene of the ‘90s, where he organized massively popular warehouse raves starting at the age of 18. These events allowed him to develop and hone his vision, both as a DJ and as a sonic architect. The care he brought to every facet of each event was an expression of a profound relationship to techno, and to his clear eyed vision for the future. It was also here that his mixing style - precise yet feverish, impassioned yet restrained - found form. Since that time, he’s been welcomed to every venue and festival of renown, and has released his music on many of techno’s most esteemed labels. His own label curation, on Hush and Mistress, has been as immaculate as the selections in his sets. It’s rare that an artist gets to take over the room from open to close, but if anyone can handle it, it’s DVS1. Meilgaarden is back in STUDIO to do what she does best. The queen of pumping basslines, Meilgaarden’s specialty are recovered lost classics from the turn of the millenium. Her sets ooze with ravey sensuality and a glistening, synthetic sheen. Tommy Hart returns, cannily drawing on a deep well of glimmering, soulful house. Hart’s sets are imbued with an effusive, joyful glow that pulls inspiration from classic house iterations from across the decades. Demi Riquísimo sadly had to postpone his appearance due to visa issues. In their place, Ryker steps up. Extending their run in the room, Ryker seals the deal with a glistening sheen and astute flair for the dramatic. A STUDIO mainstay, the Salon founder finds a perfect sweet spot between pulsating club hypnosis and cheeky leftfield bangers. ■ No photos or videos ■ Ticket purchase does not guarantee entrance ■ No phone use on the dancefloor ■ The dance floor is for dancing, not conversation ■ No glowing/flashing clothes or items ■ Respect other people's space, no shuffling ■ Consent is mandatory ■ Zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism or any form of discrimination ■ Take care of each other, alert our staff if somebody isn't feeling well ■ Violating the house rules will result in removal PLEASE REVIEW HOUSE POLICIES AT LINK BELOW
