Music, Djing & Consulting
Calvin Ho first started djing in back in 1988 when he was still a student fine art degree in Australia. His first love is electronic music, Chicago House and UK electronic pop. Other interests like Hip Hop, Funk, Jazz, Latin, Disco would later open up his love of music through the record shop 10 years later. Ever since then, he has been djing and promoting for high profile clients like Nike, Adidas, Diesel, D-Mop, Nokia as well as night clubs, press events, bars and art galleries. Calvin has also worked as a club promoter for bars & clubs designing visuals and marketing for parties, album covers, flyers & posters. With the need to break clichés of what we hear at clubs and on radio in Hong Kong, Calvin is planning to focus on Atomic Attack's very own radio show aptly titled "Moustache in Disguise."

Record Shop & Salon

During this time Atomic Attack released an independent fanzine called “Chalk” that was recognised by Shift in Japan, DJ magazine in the UK and was also sold in Paris.
