An engineer, producer, and DJ exploring the grooves and echoes of the past and the future.
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 2017 and worked for various Tech Companies and projects.
However, I began my journey in music much earlier as an experimental hip-hop producer and DJ for various local artists in China in 2013, drawing influence from old-school hip-hop, esoteric movie samples, and traditional Chinese opera, among others. This culminated in two albums under the name Vicious Animal 动物凶猛: Volume I (2017) and Volume II (2020), constructing a chaotic, difficult, unique yet cohesive sonic universe from within the Great Walls of China.
Both albums were well-received by domestic audiences and were nominated for Best Release of the Year by several media outlets, including ErDi and Douban’s Abby Road Award.
Driven by my ever-expanding curiosity in music and a career as club/bedroom DJ dabbling in various styles of music from cambodia psych rock to PC Music, I have explored a variety of genres, moving from a sample-based approach to a new focus on electronic and popular music. Little Radiator is the natural result of merging my beat-making background with groove-intensive dance music, such as jungle/garage, along with pop, R&B, and occasional jazz toplines, infused with East Asian characteristics.
I am open to DJ and live booking, collaboration related to beatmaking and mixing. Please send all inquires to 1994ep@gmail.com.

我于2017年在加州大学伯克利分校获得计算机科学学士学位，此后在多家[科技公司和项目](https://ruhao.me/tech/)中工作。
然而，我的音乐之旅开始得更早。2013年起，我作为实验嘻哈制作人和DJ为中国本土多位艺人服务，汲取老派嘻哈、晦涩电影采样及中国传统戏曲等多元影响，最终形成两张专辑[《动物凶猛·壹》（2017）](https://soundcloud.com/ruhao/sets/dangerous-animal-yi)和[《动物凶猛·贰》（2020）](https://soundcloud.com/ruhao/sets/vaii)，在长城内构建出一个混乱、艰涩、独特而连贯的声音宇宙。
两张专辑均获得国内听众好评，并被二地、豆瓣阿比鹿音乐奖等多家媒体提名为年度最佳发行。
在对音乐不断扩展的好奇心以及作为俱乐部/卧室DJ涉猎从柬埔寨迷幻摇滚到PC Music等各种风格的职业驱动下，我探索了多种音乐类型，从基于采样的方法转向专注于电子音乐和流行音乐。[Little Radiator](https://ritaliu.com/projects/littleradiator/)是我将制作背景与groove密集型舞曲（如丛林/车库）以及流行、R&B和偶尔的爵士上层旋律相结合，并融入东亚特色的自然结果。
我接受DJ和现场演出预订，以及与制作和混音相关的合作。所有咨询请发送至 1994ep@gmail.com。
