Helena Hauff - Resident Advisor RA.1000 Mix

HELENA HAUFF - RESIDENT ADVISOR RA.1000 MIX (320kbs/242mb/1hr46mins)
Resident Advisor podcast: 13th August 2025

When Helena Hauff made her first RA Podcast appearance back in 2013, she was on the eve of releasing her debut production, Actio Reactio, on Actress' Werkdiscs imprint. In the 12 years that have elapsed since, she's become not just a household name within electronic music, but the kind of rare talent that lives in impenetrable seclusion from industry tumult.

(Hauff, enviously, has never even owned a smartphone.)

Her calling card was and continues to be her penchant for rough and ready EBM, electro and new wave, recorded straight to tape. And while her selections are seemingly untethered to the trend cycles that dominate popular dance music culture, they have staying power. Her unique ability is creating a singular listening experience from otherwise disparate or out-of-favour tracks, with a raw immediacy that functions as a redress to overly-choreographed modern DJing.

The Hamburg icon showcases her outsider approach to selection once again in her mix for RA.1000. Threaded together by strobe-lit DIY electronica, old-school acid house and corrosive machine funk that chews up the ear, the nearly two-hour set pulls music from modern producers while explicitly nodding to electronic music's history.

In the sci-fi themed first half, Hauff drops not one but two Cybotron tracks, nodding to Juan Atkins' blueprint for the world of electro. You'll also hear "Riot" from Underground Resistance, the definitive mission statement for the Motor City techno collective for a world ablaze. Here, Hauff raises the bar once again, demonstrating how these songs and their sentiments continue to resonate through the ages. This is musical anarchism executed to the highest degree. -  Chloe Lula
