Mr. Ho

Hong Kong's Mr. Ho delivers a super unique, versatile record that sits perfectly between acid techno, electro and house. Sharp sounddesign and heavy drum sequences make this one feel fresh despite drawing on familiar territory. Each track has its own identity but they're clearly cut from the same cloth - tight, muscular production that rewards close listening.

Mr. Ho's approach here is distinctly playful yet serious; the acid tones feel organic rather than nostalgic, the electro touches add real character, and the house grooves lock in with purpose. This is the kind of record that works equally well as a DJ tool or a headphone listen. CABARET 041 is a reminder why the best underground records often come from outside the expected centres - there's an energy here that feels genuinely earned.
