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

During MBM's tour with 808state about 2 years ago, MBM played a cover of a DHS track that was not on either of DHS's LPS...it was called "BAD ACID #9" When Jack Dangers was asked what song was that after the show..he commented that it was a song that they reciently remixed for them after they remixed mindstream. Supposedly DHS was using that to shop around for a new label. Last on HANGMAN. I have both HOUSE OF GOD and latest. EHH.

FYI, Reverb did a cool article on DHS awhile ago in his unfortunately discontinued e-zine. Check the hyperreal archives for that one. But Dan told me once that Ben Stokes is in some way involved with H-Gun in Chicago, a really cool "media" company that has, among many other projects, done some of the more radical music videos out there recently. For example I think H-Gun created the VIDEO for Ministry's "just one fix" which is a visually fascinating/disturbing piece, and I *think* they did a video for PublicEnemy, too. (?). Last I heard Reverb was looking into doing a WWW page for DHS, or, uh, wasn't I supposed to say that Dan? ;) Clue us in... Any new music on the horizon from DHS? p e a c e _________________________________________________________________________ Matt MacQueen --safely and independently representing only myself <macqueen@student.msu.edu> WYSIWYG. _________________________________________________________________________

Prior to "The 4th Sign" there were 3 "Ravesignal" EPs all on R&S. These are pretty rare now I should think. I believe he also used to work with someone called Steve Cop or something as Sonic Solution. "Camargue" was released as a remix 12", and he has also done a remix for Utah Saints - "Highlander" I think was the track title - it was on the B-side of a really crap 12" single a year or so ago. There is a remix of the Prodigy's "No Good", and he also had an exclusive track on one of the first 2 TEX LPs (the first one I think.
