Discreet Desires

Making her recording debut just two years ago in 2013, Helena Hauff's first release was a 3-track EP - Actio Reactio - on Actress' Werkdiscs imprint. She has since partnered with PAN (as Black Sites alongside F#x), Lux Rec, Bunker sublabel Panzerkreuz and Texan cassette imprint Handmade Birds to share her overtly analogue excursions into techno's shadowy fringes, improvised and
recorded in her bedroom studio in Hamburg.

Ten tracks deep, Discreet Desires is the embodiment of Helena's deep-seated beliefs about music as a radical force and unifying movement. Something that is evident from her growing stature as a selector and her enthusiasm for musical subcultures from punk to nu wave, industrial, krautrock and avant garde electro - all of which were rooted in raw experimentation and existed in polar opposition
to the perfect, polished mainstream.
