Career

HOSH 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 which 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, 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 consisting of 4 releases, 8 tracks on Diynamic calling it 'Forever Young' - HOSH says "We all had our dreams when we were young. It’s never too late to live them. This is basically what this special series is all about."[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] HOSH then ended his Diynamic journey with his latest release 'Karma EP' in 2017 - becoming the #1 track in Beatport techno charts in 2017.[11] Summer 2016, HOSH was invited by Heart Ibiza to host five exclusive dates with ROULETTE[12] - boasting a unique audio and visual concept, the focus of the party was that of a futuristic roulette wheel. Inviting alongside him DJ pals, including Patrice Baumel, Matthias Meyer and many more. HOSH says “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,” he 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!” [13]

HOSH established his own imprint fryhide. Which was initiated with 'Stories From Sa Talaia' album, creating a mix which HOSH gave away as free download for his fans.[14] Then releasing the tracks through 4 EP's[15] on fryhide featuring collaborations with GHEIST, Tim Engelhardt, Lehar, Pig&Dan, Karmon, Mia Lee, Sono, Musumeci & Johannes Brecht.[16] fryhide since 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 top 100 all genres and Melodic House & Techno.[17][18] Moving forward HOSH has taken fryhide to his fans through showcases in Montreal, Basel, Berlin, Amsterdam, Hamburg & Barcelona.[19] Starting 2018, HOSH was nominated for the Melodic House & Techno DJ Awards alongside artists such as Solomun, Tale Of Us, Maceo Plex & more.[20]

Midnight (The Hanging Tree)

In 2019, HOSH teamed up with Italian newcomer 1979 (a.k.a. Venetian-born, Amsterdam based producer Giovanni Salviato)[21] on a dance version of James Newton Howard's Hunger Games's song The Hanging Tree.[22] Now entitled Midnight (The Hanging Tree) and featuring singer Jalja,[23] the song reached #1 on the Melodic House and Techno Tracks playlist[24] 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,[25] with the UK release being promoted by Sony's Ministry of Sound records label.[26][27] The track was then been 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.[28] After a couple of months hanging around the bottom of the Official Singles Chart Top 100, the song finally entered the Top 40 on 26 June 2020 at Number 34.[29][30] Since its January 2020 release, "Midnight (Hanging Tree)" has seen undeniable global success, accumulating well over 23 million streams on Spotify and over 40 million on all platforms.  The single was embraced on the international DJ circuit, receiving of notable remix duties from MK and Henrik Shwarz in June 2019.
