Hailing from Hamburg and a longtime resident of the legendary Golden Pudel Club, Helena Hauff has become a central figure in contemporary electronic music. With a raw, vinyl-only approach and lo-fi productions, her work stands out for its intensity, analog purity, and uncompromising spirit.
Blending acid, old-school electro, industrial techno, and minimal wave, Hauff crafts gritty and hypnotic sonic journeys. Albums like Qualm (Ninja Tune) showcase her unique artistic voice—abrasive textures, pulsating rhythms, and fierce energy all coexisting in perfect chaos.
As the first woman to win BBC Radio 1’s Essential Mix of the Year, Helena Hauff has played the world’s top clubs and festivals—Berghain, Dekmantel, Primavera Sound, and more. She continues to inspire with a fearless musical vision that pushes the boundaries of electronic sound.
