The D#m/A# chord is a D# minor chord, with the A# (the 5th) as the bass note.
The D# minor chord itself has a dark, melancholy sound. Playing the 5th of the chord (in the case of D#m, the 5th is A#) as the bass note, can make the chord sound even more dark and dramatic, even if it is only a subtle difference.
The chord is also referred to as D sharp minor over A sharp, or D#m ‘slash’ A#, or simply, D sharp minor with an A sharp in the bass.
Technically, the D sharp minor chord with the A sharp in the bass is a second inversion D sharp minor chord.
