'fabric presents Helena Hauff': Listen to the electro stalwart's new mix

‍The mix is a meeting of twisted musical minds and pin-point electronic acts.
‍

Helena Hauff, the formidable electro selector and Hamburg-based artist whose background in both fine art and music science have undeniably informed the duality of creativity and reason in both her DJ and production skills, has curated the next 'fabric presents' mix and compilation for release on fabric Records. Today (22nd September 2023) the release is out everywhere, so you may enjoy this sure-fire collection of dark euphoria however you consume your music.

Former resident of the esteemed Golden Pudel club and a recent releasing artist on the fabric Originals imprint, Helena has established herself as a selector who prefers playing vinyl, a producer who uses vintage hardware, and a virtuoso of seamlessly handling the crowd. Wherever she performs, her style is significant and recognisable—rough, raw and unshakably adventurous. Attributes perfectly captured in edition of the fabric presents series.

Following two single releases, Helena's town track "Turn Your Sights Inward", and Magda Rot's "Alter Simus", the complete mix is out now on double vinyl, CD and digital streaming platforms. It features tracks from the likes of FJAAK & Tobi Neumann, Radioactive Man, Slam & Optic Nerve, IMOGEN, and Nite Fleit. Autechre's remix of D-Breeze's “Crazy For Love” from 1999 is also spotlighted, where it will be digitally available for the first time.

Helena has crafted a seamless product featuring tracks from heavy hitters, fabric club regulars, and exciting talent. The compilation promises a journey through steadfast, timeless tracks, punchy electro, breakbeat and techno, and a perfect encapsulation of the raw energy she brings to dance-floors and sound-systems globally.

Helena's exclusive track “Turn Your Sights Inward," was our first glimpse into the throws of the project. The mix itself, a thrilling 77 minutes in length, features 19 unrelenting tracks warping in nature, featuring both hammering percussion and squelchy acidic synths. Whilst indicative of Hauff's matured sound, it is also unpredictable in nature, seeking out both structure and chaos with the help of classic tracks like Radioactive Man's “Night Bus To Nowhere” and unreleased gems like Magda Rot's “Alter Simus".

‍

After appearing alongside Helena on NTS Radio back in April for a special B2B broadcast, fabric club regular IMOGEN also adds 'Granular Tears' into the mix, arriving at the mid-point of the mixed version. Nite Fleit's “Naïve" also features, out through Helena's Return To Disorder label and the final track, Autechre's remix of D-Breeze's “Crazy For Love” from 1999, will be digitally available for the first time.

Available on double vinyl with bespoke poster insert, CD & digital.
