Helena Hauff鈥檚 mixtape

Max Reinhardt presents a pulsing, genre-defying mixtape from Hamburg techno legend, musician and DJ Helena Hauff.

Max Reinhardt presents a pulsing, genre-splicing mixtape from Hamburg techno legend, the musician and DJ Helena Hauff.

An expert in the art of the mix, Helena became obsessed with DJing in her teens after a particularly life-changing night at a techno club, and soon became a resident at Hamburg鈥檚 notorious basement bar the Golden Pudel. Alongside her mixing, she began to make live tracks with vintage synths and drum machines.

It was there that she met Darren Cunningham aka Actress, and through him released her first EP on Ninja Tune in 2013. Two years later, she released her debut full-length album, Discreet Desires, named one of Rolling Stones magazine鈥檚 top 20 electronic albums of that year. Her latest release Qualm was unapologetically raw, described by her as the product of 鈥渢rying to create something powerful without using too many instruments and layers鈥�.

Over the past five years, she鈥檚 become one of the most sought after and respected selectors, touring the world with expertly curated DJ sets spanning acid, electro, EBM, techno and post punk and headlining festivals like Sonar and Dekmantel.

Helena鈥檚 mixtape reflects her love of crate digging, from 鈥�70s library music and Yusef Lateef to psychedelic stoner rock and Meredith Monk, and of course a good dose of techno and leftfield electro.

Produced by Katie Callin for Reduced Listening.
