H.O.S.H.

HOSH (born as Holger Behn; 1986 in Hamburg, West Germany) is a German DJ and producer. He is an employee of Diynamic and the founder of The Fryhide Imprint (or, in German, 'Freiheit').

Career

HOSH was born in 1986, Hamburg. He became interested in producing because he had interest in how the records he was playing were put together. H.O.S.H states, “When it comes to producing, making music for me is like cooking – the meal/track gets better the more love you put in.” H.O.S.H was the first member of Diynamic, releasing successful records such as Oelckersallee EP & White Elephant. Following releases and remixes for imprints like Kindisch, Get Physical, Stil Vor Talent, Supernature, Freerange, Strictly Rhythm, Dessous, Tsuba, and more. Being an important employee of the Diynamic crew, H.O.S.H released his album in 2010 on Diynamic, "Connecting The Dots," an album made up of ten dance floor cuts that all exhibit a trademark Diynamic musicality, hint at H.O.S.H influences up to this point and simultaneously mark out a path into the future of underground house music.

In the year 2013, H.O.S.H presented a special on Diynamic consisting of four releases and eight tracks titled 'Forever Young.' H.O.S.H stated, "We all had dreams when we were young, and it's never too late to live them. This special series encapsulates that sentiment." Making highlights again, H.O.S.H stepped up for the official remix of Sono's 'Keep Control' released in 2013 on Kontor Music. The release was a staple in Beatports top 100. H.O.S.H then ended his Diynamic journey with his latest release 'Karma EP' in 2017 - becoming the #1 track in Beatport techno charts in 2017. During the summer of 2016, H.O.S.H was invited by Heart Ibiza to host five exclusive dates with ROULETTE “Heart is a place on the island that really wants to be groundbreaking and always looks for fresh concepts—I feel our ROULETTE idea has found the perfect home,” HOSH tells DJ Mag Ibiza. “If you come to one of our five events this year, you will find something that you don't find at any other party on the island!”

H.O.S.H established his own imprint, Fryhide, which was initiated with the 'Stories From Sa Talaia' album, creating a mix that H.O.S.H then donated to listeners. He then released the tracks through 4 EPs on Fryhide, featuring collaborations with GHEIST, Tim Engelhardt, Lehar, Pig&Dan, Karmon, Mia Lee, Sono, Musumeci, and Johannes Brecht. Fryhide has seen great success releasing music from artists such as Artbat, Tone Depth, Groj, 1979, and more - becoming one of the best-selling labels and holding high chart positions in Beatport's top 100 all genres and Melodic House & Techno. Moving forward, H.O.S.H has taken Fryhide to his fans through showcases in Montreal, Basel, Berlin, Amsterdam, Hamburg, and Barcelona. In 2018, H.O.S.H was nominated for the Melodic House & Techno DJ Awards alongside many of his peers and friends.

Midnight (The Hanging Tree)

In 2019, H.O.S.H teamed up with Italian artist 1979 ( Venetian-born, Amsterdam-based producer Giovanni Salviato) on a dance version of James Newton Howard's Hunger Games's song The Hanging Tree. Now entitled ''Midnight (The Hanging Tree)'' and featuring singer Jalja, the song reached #1 on the Melodic House and Techno Tracks playlist after being released exclusively on Beatport in December 2019. In 2020, the record was signed to Mark Gillespie and Pete Tong's Three Six Zero Recordings, with the UK release being promoted by Sony's Ministry of Sound records label. The track was then picked up by BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac as ‘The Week's Hottest Record’ and was also Pete Tong's ''Essential New Tune'', the first of the decade. After a couple of months on the bottom of the Official Singles Chart Top 100, the song finally entered the Top 40 on 26 June 2020 at Number 34.
