HOSH (born as Holger Behn in Hamburg, Germany) is a German DJ & producer. He is a part of the record label Diynamic and the founder of The Fryhide Imprint (or, in German, 'Freiheit').[1]
HOSH was born in 1986, Hamburg. He got into production because he wanted to know how the records he was playing were put together. HOSH says, “When it comes to producing, making music for me is like cooking – the meal/track gets better the more love you put in.”[2] Back in 2006, with his flatmate at that time Solomun & Stimming, HOSH was the first member of Diynamic,[3] releasing successful records such as Oelckersallee EP & White Elephant.[4] Following releases and remixes for imprints like Kindisch, Get Physical, Stil Vor Talent, Supernature, Freerange, Strictly Rhythm, Dessous, Tsuba, and more.[5] Being a vital part of the Diynamic crew, HOSH 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 HOSH influences up to this point and simultaneously mark out a path into the future of underground house music.[6] HOSH broke into the music charts in 2010 with his EP Cash the Chord. Since then, he's continued to remain a staple of Diynamic, playing pretty much weekly at Sankeys Ibiza for Neon Nights.[7]
Fast forwarding to 2013, HOSH presented a special on Diynamic consisting of four releases and eight tracks titled 'Forever Young.' HOSH stated, "We all had dreams when we were young, and it's never too late to live them. This special series encapsulates that sentiment."[8] Making highlights again, HOSH stepped up for the official remix of Sono's 'Keep Control' released in 2013 on Kontor Music.[9] The release was a staple in Beatports top 100.[10]
