We’re barely into summer but news has emerged that acclaimed Hamburg producer and Golden Pudel resident Helena Hauff will return to Werkdiscs for a debut solo album in September. After making her recording debut on the label run by Actress a couple of years ago, she’s seen a steady rise to prominence with a brand of frazzled, noisy, lo-fi techno and distilled acid house jams on labels such as Panzerkreuz, Lux Rec, and Handmade Birds. While the grimy, machine-tooled sonics of the EP releases haven’t exactly reflected Hauff’s excursions into the dark, genre and decade spanning musical subcultures of her Golden Pudel sets, the new album titled ‘Discreet Desires’ might be set to change that with the ten-track release being described as ‘the embodiment of Helena’s deep-seated beliefs about music as a radical force and unifying movement’. The first taster comes in the form of the new wave leaning ‘Sworn To Secrecy Part II’.
