Remixes Fleetwood Mac – Dreams
D.V.S* kills it once again. The dynamic multi-instrumentalist takes on yet another classic tune and offers a great re-vision of the original. A difficult feat in of itself, we encourage you to dig deep into the D.V.S* catalog of original tracks if you like what you hear.
Amidst a land of hypnotic beats, catchy hooks, and majestic melodies exists the music of D.V.S* (aka Derek VanScoten).
