Over the past year – thanks to releases from artists like Jay Haze, Raz O’Hara and Einzelkind - Kindisch has proved itself to be a prime outlet for leftfield electronic music that satisfies the mind and body alike. The latest artist to join the Kindisch fold is H.O.S.H., aka Hamburg native Holger Behn, who brings us a stylish two-tracker entitled ‘White Elephant’. Holger has always been concerned with making dance music that stretches the very notion of what dance music can be, demonstrating a restless commitment to individuality and innovation in tandem with an understanding for the ‘floor. A-side ‘White Elephant’ takes the most unusual sound – that of a trumpeting elephant – and subtly manipulates it, building up an intricate scaffolding of 4x4 beats in support. A smooth, shimmying bassline keeps things moving while Holger layers the elephant sounds to create gorgeous, powerful chords that sound like a real brass section. Despite its quirkiness, the effect is incredibly subtle, and the aggregation of skippy percussion hits and synth counterpoints give this track a lightness of touch which an elephant could only dream of! B-side ‘Don Alfredo’ is a collaboration with Adriano and charts the kind of deep house waters that we all like to take a dip in…A taut, minimal kick and snare set the pace while the prominent hi-hats reference classic 1990s dance; H.O.S.H. takes a rich, one-note analogue synth sound and interlocks the simple percussive elements to fashion a cruising, heads-down groove around it. The dramatic, half-speed breakdown three minutes in and eerie surrounding effects will have a heart-stopping effect on home and club listener alike. This is a 12” of sophisticated house and techno for the more discerning music-lover; H.O.S.H. has created two tracks of tremendous atmosphere and that all too rate quality - dignity. Kindisch continue to set out their stall as purveyors of the finest club sounds around.
