the most underrated producer in the entire techno community. Mr.Ho seems to have it all....if you want straight 4/4 banger, hes got it. If you want industrial abstract front line assembly techno, he's got it. If you want music thats not even techno, but weird machine sounds, hes got it. If you want funky tribal techno, he's got that for you as well. Basically one of my favorite producers of all time. Inspiring, philosophical, keep those releases coming.....

Ho's contribution to the British techno scene has been first class from his early Blueprint releases through to his more experimental work on his Light & Dark imprint. With his (fantastic) Meta imprint the listener can easily hear his sound evolve from the harsh, metallic outings of early Meta releases through to his more tribal influenced 12"s. Ho's study and fascination with the human voice as an instrument and musical tool has been prevalent throughout his input of the last 4 or 5 years; a similar path taken by his contemporary Max Duley on his Arc label.
