About SUPPORT. ORGANIZE. SUSTAIN.

On the high seas, S.O.S. is an internationally recognized distress call. On the dancefloor, it's something much different.

S.O.S. is short for Support. Organize. Sustain. — An international group of DJs, producers, label owners, promoters, booking agents, political activists, academics, authors that come together to meet and speak about what they’ve learned over the years working and growing throughout the industry.

Dance music culture is now bigger than ever before and S.O.S. is rooted in the need to balance the industry's seemingly exponential growth with the preservation of the unique values the scene was originally built upon: respect, tolerance, community, and artistry.

Support. Organize. Sustain. was created in 2019 by Zak Khutoretsky, aka DVS1.
