Helena Hauff is a DJ apart. A singular force who makes good on the subversive promise written into the source code of underground music. Making her name at Hamburg’s Golden Pudel, the same punk attitude that seeps out the walls at that storied club animates her own, distinct style. In the booth, whiskey and cigarette – laws permitting, maybe – close to hand, Hauff embraces the dark, the sinewy, the strange, pulling from deep cover EBM, techno, post punk and electro. What’s more, as she’s levelled up from basement clubs to festivals and sprawling main rooms, Hauff has resisted diluting her sound, instead doubling down on her uncompromising style.
