From underground treasure to full-fledged dance royalty, Helena Hauff needs no introduction. She’s previously touched down on our main stage for a grand festival finale and, last year, enveloped UFO I in drones of heavy, hair-raising EBM. In 2022, the Hamburg-based DJ released her latest EP, Living With Ladybirds, and graced the cover of Resident Advisor with a story aptly titled ‘The Rules Don’t Apply’. Hauff works in her own mysterious ways, and we cannot imagine Dekmantel Festival without her.
