Helena Hauff

Tonight Helena will be at Le Sucre in Lyon, but last week she was playing a breathtaking set at The Peacock Society in Paris. To enjoy the full performance again shot by ARTE Concert, head here → http://bit.ly/2avSJ7l and you won't regret it. Thanks to Laure who suggested the great link and to Alice who provided this snippet of that night.

When in Berlin, Barghain Club Berlin and Tresor.Berlin (OFFICIAL) are the way to go. But when in Hamburg, the answer is Golden Pudel. That is the underground club where Helena grew up and gained her residency as a deejay. Did you know that last February it was severely compromised by a fire? But it survived, of curse.

RETURN TO DISORDER is Helena's own record label. On FACT Magazine she said about it: ''There was an art movement after the First World War called Return To Order. They were a very conservative art movement, they basically wanted to go back to having nice pictures of trees and stuff [laughs]. I did the record for Bunker last year, it was 2014, so it was 100 years after the First World War started. I wanted to find a name for the record that referred to that somehow, so I thought, ‘Okay, I’m going to start an art movement that’s called Return To Disorder’. So that’s where the name comes from.''

Helena Hauff

For all you people in France tomorrow is the day! Helena at Le Sucre in Lyon for Trans Europe Express : Salon des amateurs : Helena Hauff, Lena Willikens, Tolouse Low Trax

Black Sites is the collaborative project born between Helena and her Golden Pudel pal, F#X. Listen to their 'Unit 2669', released for PAN label.

Here it is. It was last 8th of April that La Cheetah Club in Glasgow hosted Helena and Lory D, Italian master of deep dark techno, for a set that seems to have thrilled the crowd.

''It's physical and visual, I can't imagine playing differently'' Such a great insight into Helena's world provided by Kaput - Magazin für Insolvenz & Pop, subtitled in English.

Ellen Allien, Lena Willikens, Tama Sumo, Nastia, The Black Madonna, Rebekah and of course Helena. Women in techno are not a few, although fewer than man for sure. When it comes to the audience instead, for a fact it is largely male-based. Have you ever guessed the reason behind it? Perhaps boys' penchant for gaming had to do with it. But that's just a guess. See how Defected Records explains why video games mattered so much in the development of electronic music.

Wonder what a club experience with Helena would be like? Listen to one of her most recent dj sets given for Varvara Festival 2016 Preview at Superbudda last 14th of May.

Next Saturday Helena will be performing for Present Perfect Festival at Street Art Museum /Музей Уличного Искусства in Saint Petersburg. Check out the event → http://bit.ly/2azQYqL

Last 1st of July Helena perfomed at Terraforma. Why wish every festival was like that? Besides the remarkable line up and the lectures provided, the architectural value of Villa Arconati and the wideness of the wood that hosted the event, it was all about environmental sustainability. From the building materials to the waste management. And even the food offer was vast enough to include plant-based options. Seems like eco-consciousness and music avant-garde can go hand in hand.

Lex Tertia spinning See the EP on Discogs → http://bit.ly/2aDp1Nr

When Helena was asked why she chose a sinking ship for this video, she explained: ''Lex Tertia is inspired by a story about an old philosopher Hippasus. Some modern scholars have suggested that he discovered the irrationality of √2.The discovery of irrational numbers is said to have been shocking to the Pythagoreans, and Hippasus is supposed to have drowned at sea, apparently as a punishment from the Army for divulging this.''

Helena's creative journey wasn't as smooth as one would expect. She went from studying fine arts to physics and systematic music science. And then she says: ''I realised that I just don’t like universities. And I actually want to destroy society, and that studying and becoming something that actually works for society isn’t really good. So I thought I’d become a DJ.'' Since then she has embraced the joys of music making quite effortlessly. Check FACT Magazine article to find out more about it.
