In 1977, Jani was 3 years old when he had his first experience with records. His dad had a small but very loved vinyl collection, which Jani carefully piled into the oven, and set to 200 degrees. Needless to say, the oven, Dads’ records and Dad himself did not like the experiment. Unfortunately this was only the beginning of broken hi-fi units and blown speakers. Without his Dad’s sacrifices Jani probably would never have become an electronic artist.

Finnish-born, New York raised, and now firmly established in Melbourne's electronic music landscape, Jani Ho stands as one of Australia's most formidable electro talents. Deeply influenced by early New York house, Detroit techno, and jazz during his formative years, he has crafted a distinctive sound that can only be described as machine music with undeniable soul.

Jani's hardware-driven live performances are legendary—each set a completely unique, improvised experience that transforms dance floors into journeys through techno and electro’s deepest territories. This mastery of live hardware manipulation has earned him global recognition, with performances across Europe, Asia, and notably at Detroit's Movement Festival in 2014, 2016, and 2018—a rare achievement for an Australian artist in techno's birthplace.

His consistent output has garnered support from electronic music's elite. Recent releases include Detroit Underground's "Bunjil Place EP" (2022), Soiree Records International' "Mono Charge" 12" (2022), and the split EP with label owner Drivetrain "Manufactured EP" (2024). His track "Angry Minimal" featured on Carl Cox's mixed album on Awesome Soundwave, cementing his position in the international techno community.

Between headline shows across Australia, Jani has supported luminaries including Underground Resistance, Tom Hall, Mark Broom, Steve Rachmad, and Detroit Techno Militia. His performances demonstrate a rare fluency in techno's language—drawing direct lines between Detroit's soulful machinery and Europe's refined aesthetics.

With deep connections to Detroit labels and a reputation for delivering electrifying live sets, Jani represents the perfect union of technical prowess and emotional depth. His sets are built with purpose: to create moments of genuine connection through rhythm and sound.

Looking ahead to 2025, Jani is focused on international touring while developing new material for an upcoming album and several 12" releases. The material matches his performances; authentic, hardware-based live techno and electro, that resonates with both purists and new audiences alike, delivered with masterful precision.
