D.H.S. is (or was) Ben Stokes. To my knowledge he has put out two full-lengths: The House of God (1990) and another around 1992. His style is a lot like Greater Than One from back in the day when they still used original ideas. 8-bit, sample-heavy songs with a sense of humor. I'm not sure if D.H.S. is still around, since the MBM remix is the last thing i heard from it. That's too bad, because he is a talented guy. Mixmaster Morris used a sample from the House of God LP on his 'underground' EP. One of my most prized possessions is a D.H.S. t-shirt that i found a Bill's one day for ten bucks. Trainspotter mode off. -jeff
