Habitat : H.O.S.H. (Fri 04/01)

Habitat are bringing sexy back to house music with a visit from deep house legend H.O.S.H.

There are solid record labels and then there are recognisable musical collectives… brotherhoods who work together for the furtherment of electronic music. One such crew is based proudly in Hamburg goes by the name of Diynamic and owes a large part of its success to German born Holger Behn….aka H.O.S.H.

First and foremost, H.O.S.H. considers himself to be a DJ, someone who prises the art of mixing records and sequencing journeys – preferably long ones – over anything else. Ask any of the people who have been lost in one of his residencies at the likes of Watergate in Berlin, Studio 80 in Amsterdam or Ego in Hamburg over the last few years, and they are unlikely to disagree.

Since 2006, H.O.S.H. has been an integral cog in the Diynamic wheel (alongside sometime flat mate and label boss Solomun and frequent collaborator Stimming) and, as a result, has helped steer house music into unchartered waters. His productions and remixes have a recognisable deftness and engaging restraint.

The prolonged dance floor exposure H.O.S.H. has had as a DJ has afforded him an insight into exactly what works on the floor; into the differing moods of a club and into the hidden recesses of a raver’s mind.

Shit’s gonna get funky at Geisha on Friday 4 January.
