A superstar DJ who has never compromised her vision, Helena Hauff embodies everything thrilling about dance music right now.

Her sets are full throttle thrill rides fuelled by an unrivalled sense of dynamism. Each time a new mix drops from the Hamburg native it’s a momentous occasion. She’s the most recent winner of the prestigious Essential Mix of the Year trophy for her racing 2017 instalment on BBC Radio 1, and her 2016 In Session mix paying tribute to the late 80s and early 90s sound Frankfurt stands up as one the finest ever published on Mixmag.net.

We’re pleased to report that her Cover Mix keeps this unstoppable form rolling apace, surging through acid, techno, electro, breaks and even hip hop with an irresistible, screwface vigour. Some people label her style as dark and moody, but as someone who only feels love and happiness for the sounds she spins, there’s only one word Hauff feels is apt in describing them: “BANGIN’”.
