SUN 25th JAN – MICHAL HO – BOSTON
January 20, 2009
Michal Ho is best known for dabbling in the studio with fellow countryman Samim as Samim & Michal, but he also makes solo 12″s, popping up on recent mix CDs by Steve Bug and Matthias Tanzmann, while his live laptop shows have landed him headline spots in London and New York this past year. 2008 was a busy year for him, between his releases on Petite and Tuning Spork, he also received remixes by Inxec or even Adam Beyer! The following words are taken from Bjorn Schaeffner’s interview for RA:
“Michal Ho has a knack for sampling. His curiousity about sound extends across different genres, too. Yes, this is not your average minimal techno guy. He’s experimented with hip hop, drum n bass, electronica, jazz, dub, dubstep and house. His techno productions have been released on labels such as Get Physical, Contexterrior or local imprint Stattmusik. And they have earned him enthusiastic responses by the likes of Ricardo Villalobos and M.A.N.D.Y.
Aside from containing samples of everything from his kitchen appliances to his neighbour’s fisticuffs, Ho’s oddly titled album Screw the Coffeemaker is a study in percussion: a long and meandering trip into the groove-heart of contemporary dancefloor music. A likeable, soft-spoken type with a deep, charismatic voice, Mr. Ho in person is far from your average sound nerd. And he’s not boring either: he’s just as comfortable chatting away about the Dada movement as Technotronic. Or coffee making.”
