Helena Hauff drops two hours of techno and electro on her debut Essential Mix

Helena Hauff took control of the BBC Radio 1 Essential mix over the weekend. You can listen to her recording below.

It's the first time the Hamburg-based DJ/producer has crafted a slot for the Essential Mix, and the German selector played 34 tracks across two hours of techno and electro.

The mix includes material from Adam Beyer, DJ Stingray, The Advent, Drexciya, Jensen Interceptor, The Horrorist and many more. You can see the full tracklist below.

Hauff’s Essential Mix follows those from Tube & Berger, My Nu Leng and Adriatique, who all manned controls of the Radio 1 series in February.

Alongside the Essential Mix, Helena is set to play at multiple festivals throughout the European summer, including Gottwood in the UK, Dekmantel in Holland, and Into The Valley in Estonia. 

Hauff also hit the cover of DJ Mag this month to talk analogue kit, acid classics and what to do if your studio catches on fire.
