HADONE dj set @fuse 03.03.24

From ambient beats to galloping rhythms, filled with trippy atmosphere and weird FXs, her sets and selections thoughtfully reflect an undeniable love for musical versatility and endless respect for an underground rave culture.

Fuse w/ Less Distress @ Kiosk Radio 15.03.2024

Helena Hauff (@helena-hauff) expertly curated DJ sets spanning acid, electro, techno, EBM, and post-punk. Her powerful drum beats collide with freely wandering melodies. Her sound is tailor-made for those who appreciate raw, yet restrained intensity, dragging the dance floor into a frosty abyss. Her debut album "A Tape" in 2015 garnered attention for its intricate manipulation of sound, where she meticulously arranges gritty and rough noises, filling in the gaps with rhythmic intricacies. Her other releases, "Discreet Desires" and the EP "Have You Been There, Have You Seen," experimentally layer and intertwine, with twisted waveforms akin to rusted artifacts, creating an unfriendly listening experience that compels bodily movement to escape Helena Hauff's auditory swamp. It evokes sounds from the Hague's western coast in the Netherlands—blending synthesized tones of Italo Disco with the gritty spirit of Detroit. Despite its unfriendliness, "Have You Been There, Have You Seen" still offers warmth and rhythmic service to dancers with tracks like "Nothing Is What I Know" and "Gift." This year, renowned dance label fabric Records recognized Helena Hauff's unique selections and released "fabric presents Helena Hauff," recreating the dance scenes she once fostered at the Golden Pudel club in Hamburg, Germany.

Gigging incessantly (and still lugging a heavy box of records across the world), Helena's reputation earned her an invitation to join the BBC Radio 1 Residency. She was the subject of cover features for Crack Magazine and DJ Mag, played headline sets at Sonar (b2b with Ben UFO) and Dekmantel, and at the end of 2017, Crack Magazine declared Helena "The Most Exciting DJ In The World (Right Now)" and her ballistic BBC Essential Mix was voted the best of 2017. With razor-sharp precision, her melodies redefine Electro/Techno, adhering to her signature cold and dark taste over the past decade, regardless of current musical trends. Utilizing turntables for minimalist yet forceful performances, she effortlessly navigates between peaks and troughs, even with the risk of needle skips, confidently rolling cigarettes as she cruises at high speeds between highs and lows, making her a unique and standout figure in the scene.

TM8 Q: If you had to choose a new DJ alias right now, what would it be & why?
A: "Dj Nevertheless - Since choosing Dj name years ago I’ve changed so much and this alias could capture the change. Nevertheless - “no matter what” - feels very me today. It also rhymes with the current one :)" 

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

Berlin-based DJ and producer Less Distress debuts on our mix series, bringing with her an hour of galloping rhythms, psychedelic atmospheres and dreamy melodies with a metallic edge. With a sound that skips across several sonic palettes, the Russian-born artist has released on a wide range of established labels, including @mamatoldya, @positivesource, @akronymcollective, @inorbitrec, @rawppl and @coupprojekt amongst others. As a DJ, Less Distress has played in venues worldwide, from Fuse in Belgium to THEOFFICE in Armenia, and next up, you can find Less Distress in London in November for a party beginning with T and ending with E. We'll leave that for you to figure out…

Berlin-based artist Softmatter shares a dynamic mix for us this week. Anna Pavlova, aka Softmatter, is a DJ, producer, multidisciplinary artist and vocalist whose output is characterised by twisted and distorted electronics, heavy-hitting drumwork and mutant vocal samples. With a keen interest in post-human theory, neuroscience and quantum physics; her musical practice explores the fluidity and uncertainty of experience and perception. In Anna’s own words, “When I begin the creative process without expectations and embracing uncertainty, I get results that represent me the most.”

📍: Amsterdam / Netherlands

https://www.instagram.com/lnr_dj/

TM8 Q: What's your favourite word?
A: "Furby - they are soft, brightly coloured, gender fluid and nostalgic. They also look great with sunglasses and are very stylish. Within each Furby I have, is a little piece of myself."

UK-born, Amsterdam-based writer and DJ LNR has recorded a FLINTA-focused mix for us. Inspired by the collective dialogue between her journalistic research surrounding dance music history and her obsession with collecting old-school vinyl, the multi-disciplined artist translates pen to wax by creating journeys centred around fluid iterations of sound system culture. Exploring refractions of music in the hardcore and psychedelic spectrums and integrating technological rawness with dissociative coils, LNR has played alongside 90s legends like 69db from Spiral Tribe, Eat Static, Felix K, μ-Ziq, and Scion, and has DJ'd in Amsterdam's Garage 
Noord and for Belgium's free party collective, V23. 

In this mix, however, LNR has ditched her usual vinyl-only format to highlight a talented array of FLINTA artists, including music from the feminist freetekno collective Witchcraft rec, and producers Nkisi, Azu Tiwaline, Saskia, DJ Sofa, c00, gi, Laura STZ, Freeman 713, Kan10, DJ Spice, and Liza N Eliaz. The latter was the earliest trans woman in hardcore, according to LNR's research. "She co-produced the first ever Bonzai record before Jones & Stephenson's 'The First Rebirth' came out and made the label go crazy," LNR told us. "Sadly she died in 2001 but it felt important to me to include her music in this mix. Shout out to other old-school female techno, hardcore, and jungle legends who didn't make the mix this time: Ixindamix, Laura Grabb, Miss Djax, Kemistry & Storm, and DJ Rap."

TM8 Q: Best music video??
A: "favourites is so hard i think, i can never choose just one hehe. but i think all of FKA Twigs videos are amazing. and Shakira also has some iconic videos, especially She Wolf is great. and ofc Telephone by Lady Gaga and Beyonce!!"

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

Composer, producer, and DJ dragongirl has recorded a mix for us featuring some of her own tracks too. Having released her critically acclaimed debut album 'hot blue' on the Norwegian label Sheep Chase Records in 2023, dragongirl has since brought her vibrant sound to some of Northern Europe's most well-known clubs and festivals including Denmark's Den Anden Side, Berlin's OST and OXI, and Kaleido Festival. Her sets blend trance, techno and happy hardcore with influences from Eurodance, gabber and EDM, inviting her audience on a playful and unexpected adventure. And that's exactly what dragongirl mirrors in this week's mix.

TM8 Q: Take us on a date. Where would you bring us and why?
A: "To a Lana Del Rey concert for sure, I would defo fall in love if we kiss under her blessing"

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

Uruguayan DJ and producer YOZY supplies a shape-shifting mix for us, oscillating between experimental and broken rhythms to 4/4 techno and irresistible trance classics. The Barcelona-based artist also includes tracks from her upcoming album, dropping June 5th. Having released several contributions to VAs on Clan Destine Records, low income $quad, and Last Love Records, they have also delivered music to Human Club; a label based in Barcelona's Razzmatazz, where they are a resident DJ and run their own party CALIENTE. Additionally, YOZY has played for parties and festivals like Boiler Room x Primavera Sound, Raiders, Suicide Club, Voight-Kampff, Latineo, and many more. Plus, their monthly radio show on HKCR called 'Messages from the stars' has recently transformed into an IRL ambient showcase.

TM8 Q: Track to wake up a tired dancefloor? 
A: "Dual Monitor - Seoul City Drift"

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

Chilean DJ and artist puxo shares a mix of deconstructed and club-ready sounds with us this week. The Barcelona-based talent leans into Latin rhythms, choppy percussion, and emotional textures across their sets, creating a mood that blurs the lines between rhythmic intensity and sonic experimentation. Having established their profile within the Barcelona scene by playing parties like Latineo, MUSA, Deprerreo, and No Tags, puxo has since released an ambient EP as a parallel exploration to their artistic output, revealing a more introspective side of their sound.
