H.O.S.H. is Hamburg’s Holger Behn, an artist who has spent much of his career releasing EPs and LPs on Diynamic and I must say if you like your deepness melodic and pumpin’, he is the man to go for-and that’s not for only now. However, the hard working man is back with a sublime EP for the ever reliable My Favourite Robot label and this EP is just another proof of the amazing talent he is able to serve.
Up first here is the colourful and cosmic main room bomb that is ‘Meloman.’ With twinkling keys and sweeping pads it is a truly expansive affair that has infectious drums at its heart.
The excellent ‘Aire’ has big drums and snaking shakers, scraping perc sounds and majestic, wildly repetitive melodies exploding throughout. It is celebratory and euphoric, expertly programmed and finished with real style and will mark the high point of any set.
Last but not least is ‘Libre,’ which is eight and a half minutes of wonky beats and pixelated synths, rippling chords and brightly coloured neon melodies that fire every synapse in your body. It is another adventurous and explosive track that is full of fun and craziness right in time for the upcoming festival season.
And you can bet to hear all three tracks over that mentioned season for sure!
