Rui Ho

Chinese born RUI HO has been making buzzes with heavy and playful DJ sets throughout

the European experimental underground scene as well as in China and finally back to

Berlin for continuing their work in electronic music. Even though they’ve built a reputation

as an eclectic DJ, she doesn't make the formulaic four-to-the-floor techno you might

expect. Rui's first release was in 2016 on Chinese label Genome 6.66Mbp and from the

outset their sound was something totally unique. Their referenced Chinese melodies,

fusing them with energetic European club music, manifesting a truly original take. Their

last two EPs on Planet Mu sub-label Objects Limited explored different forms of growth,

both as a trans woman ('Becoming Is An Eventful Situation') and referencing allegorical

Chinese folklore ('In Pursuit of the Sun 逐日').

‍

Continuing with the theme of growth, RUI HO released their debut album 'Lov3 & L1ght'

on renowned UK electronic music label Planet Mu in 2020, which walks the thin line

between pop and global club music with determined style. After 2 years of resettling in

their homeland mainland of China because of the pandemic, RUI HO just released a 3

track EP Tension on Chinese independent imprint Modernsky, marking their bridging into

newer styles in musical expressions.

They have performed at 3hd Festival (Berlin), Balance – Club / Culture Festival (Leipzig),

Les Urbanise (Lausanne), CTM Music Festival (Berlin), Boiler Room Hard Dance series,

Berlin Hör radio and many more.
