Jani Ho

Finnish-born, New York-raised, and now a fixture in Melbourne’s electronic scene, Jani Ho is one of Australia’s leading electro and techno artists. Influenced by New York house, Detroit techno, and jazz, his sound is machine-driven with soul.

Renowned for fully improvised, hardware-only live sets, Jani delivers unique, high-energy performances that turn dance floors into deep, immersive journeys. His mastery of analog gear has earned international acclaim, with gigs across Europe, Asia, and repeat appearances at Detroit’s Movement Festival (2014, 2016, 2018)—a rare honour for an Australian artist.

His recent releases—Bunjil Place EP (Detroit Underground, 2022), Mono Charge (Soiree Records, 2022), and Manufactured EP (2024, with Drivetrain)—have received global support. His track “Angry Minimal” featured on Carl Cox’s Awesome Soundwave mix, further cementing his reputation.

At home, Jani has headlined major events and supported icons like Underground Resistance, Mark Broom, and Detroit Techno Militia. His sets blend Detroit grit with European finesse, always aiming to create deep, human connection through rhythm and sound.
