I keep coming back to Helena's sets and hands down, she really is just the best out there and has been for awhile now. No posturing, no projection of some cultivated fake image or building a 'brand', just slamming tracks, good mixes and making people lose their minds in a way that has mostly been lost since people started caring more about looking slick and pretty. 90s Illegal warehouse heart turned up to 11.
After about 5 years I can say that this set is indeed the best Boiler Room set I've ever heard, this is the one for HISTORY! Revisiting it like this.. Pls do it..! The best set in boiler room history. Getting to the ending of it now for the second time! LOVE!
I’ve seen Helena twice now, once in Manchester just before she blew up and then around 2 years ago in Tresor at the Stingray Kern release party. Both times she was absolutely phenomenal. Mixing is always flawless, groove flows through everything she does, never compromises her style to fit in with trends or get more gigs. Doesn’t bother with social media either. Someone a lot of today’s top lever djs could learn from. More proof as to what can happen when a talent is nurtured as a resident at a local club (golden püdel I think)
Couldn´t agree more. Your post is 3 years old, still valid. Saw her live maaaany years ago in Unsound in Krakow Poland and recently in Sonar in Barcelona and she´s fire, hasn´t change!
Incredible set, incredible energy! especially the closing (Zeta Reticula) is amazing! If I were there, I would like Helena to continue playing more!...
Hands down for the best DJ of the moment. Essential Mix winner, also delivering some great Electro/Detroit/Darkwave tunes at Residency BBC 1 monthly. She's making history, there's no match for her.
Amazing stuff Mrs. Hauff, this is the kind of set where the music has been as fkn well selected and mixed that all of us want to have all the tracks. Then we play it in our own way and immediately realise that is far far away from Helena's greatness. SHE'S THE ONE ;)
шîšтои excellent comment! Sums up perfrctly what a good dj does, 2nd listen sounded different,thats cos im .listening to peter van hosean at labyryth on souncloud lol!!! What an idiot, he,s ,more my thing but shes nailed her own sound,not easy, class! . But... Shes got One critic on here ,..... Mike Degress states shes ' another overhyped female artist very bad set"!im.on a mission,time,to shut the ignorant fucks up who make racist,misogynist homophophobic, qge/ trans phobic,or critic dancers... predjuduce in anyway towarrds anyone,its time tgey were told to get to fuck. . Techno is for everyone,regardless of any factor,,rare for anyone to escape these ignorant fucks,i dont hear him.arguing with me, And what an atmosphere, she is on fire,true artist rocking it her way 😀
Replying to myself lol. Seeing as 2nd listen it was Peter vsn hoseaon j was listentng to on sound loud while typing !3rd listen i heard the sinister ,yet deeply groovy perfect bpm and ....lots of weird noises,continually , which just make it truly unique ,its fucking ace ! And excellent comment guy is right,i iding tracks inn a set like this (is there one?) is like dissecting a Jeff mills set around 1990 ,which appeared to consist of him throwing records about ,juggling in fact .they were in and off so fast ( had to take a few short rests ,during whjch i observed this !) Helena fucking hauff breaking new ground ,amazing !
I agree. An awesome DJ like herself can make individual tracks sound so much better just by the way they mix them and what parts of the track they use and the energy and atmosphere that the track creates by the way it was mixed and the timing of how it was brought in etc. Not to mention the overall flow of the whole set and the ebbs and flows, mood and atmosphere...etc that is created. I like just about all the tracks Helena Hauff plays however I have listened to other DJ'S when I was on the dancefloor for the whole night and one song might sound especially killer when it sandwiched between a bunch of songs I don't really like. I end up buying the track and playing it at home thinking is this the same track? Lol.
I had so much fun listening to this, the music was amazing, she totally destroyed it and I ended up raving heavily to this entire set. It was a bloody blast and I loved every second of it :) Best set of Dekmantel, and one of my fave Boiler Room sets :D
since its realease i come here, way too often. but! finally seeing her live there in dekmantel this year. i don't expect her to top this, but i am ready whaever blessings she has prepared for us.
@@aka6double0 I was able to position myself great for the first 45 minutes of her set, it was great. Top it? I don't think so. Maybe it is because I had to go far away from the perfect stereo position because it was overcrowded. (event hosts sold too many tickets and rainy weather made indoor venues overcrowded) edit: when I say overcrowded, I mean it. One had to spend effort just to stay where you are, forget about dancing freely.
Helena demonstrating the great technique and musical taste that many would like to have ..... from the best that there is right now in the world of electronics
Track at 50-th min is complete techno/electro delirium. Also played by DJ Stingray a year ago at Dekmantel. But Helena decided to let it play. And the last one is just an insanity! Top!
hipsters keep talking about girls like amelie lens or charlotte, even the more vangard artirts like Nastia are not even close to Helena. great mix, great selection (always on point). just bang bang bang bang...the way we like it.
@Rootscontra: I think the hardest part about mixing is not the mixing itself. It's having broad musical knowledge, and having a knack for figuring out what flows best into what and how/when. I mean i have the technical ability to mix too; bothered investing in learning and took me about a month or so. But i'd be damned to make any decent a mix.
Have been on a Boiler room Binge , uffff How I didn't find Helena Hauff sooner , what a set. Good crowd. Was loving Solomuns Tulum and Rodhad etc and Nina and Ben Klock but this is well up there. Shame cant find more live sets of Helena. 50 unjust thumbs down crazy.
The set reminds me of Dave Clarke when he did electro mixes. Same dark vibe in the track selection but Helena mixes with more precision and less clutter. The Baroness trumps the Baron!
@MrMirkommk In case you did not know this sound was the FATHER of machine / trance / music, in the year 86 - 91 he opened ecstasy and it was a revolution in Belgium and Spain, but for this techno (yes, this was a techno side that died in 91) the genre would have stagnated more than after the mid-90s with the sound birmingham that is the one that prevailed, this and the euro - beat italo drove the slopes that would later be created in the early 90's That may or may not be another story but without this sound you would not be enjoying today because I assure you that many ideas came from this.
"Allowed" suggests a shortfall in your freedom which I am fully unaware of... You ARE allowed to do that...and always have been.. Probably the common consciousness you are referring too and you don't want to upset THEM. Oh well.. your loss.
Almost 5 years later I can confirm indeed this set is legendary... ( one of the) best boiler room sets ever
100%
FIRE!!!
Wenn du das sagst, wird es wohl stimmen - neben dubfire 😶
Dekmantel dude was right, this set is legendary.
Honestly a contender for one of the best SETS ever... Seriously I'm always coming back to this one...
this set is legendary, i keep coming back to listen to it
Same, absolutely incredible. I have not been able to find a better set
Sometimes I like to comeback and read the comments here to appreciate all the love everyone has for Helena.
This DJ cannot be stopped!

Now I count work hours based on how many times I listened to this set. Absolute perfection!
The guy to the right with no shirt dancing up on the table the whole time may just be my spirit animal.
3 years on and I still keep coming back to this set. Ive seen her live countless times now and never disappoints! 🙌
I’m going to see her at Fabric London this weekend, for the first time. Can’t wait!
After about 5 years I can say that this set is indeed the best Boiler Room set I've ever heard, this is the one for HISTORY! Revisiting it like this.. Pls do it..! The best set in boiler room history. Getting to the ending of it now for the second time! LOVE!
i am speechless.. been raving for about 20 years and it's been a long time since i heard such a great set.
😯
She's good.
Still holds up, first time hearing this. Absolutely incredible
What a beast she is. Solid mixing skills and dope music selection.
Hi Karol
Helena deserves so much more credit. She's absolutely fantastic.
probably the best boiler room of all time, incredible energy from begin to end, goddess helena

Yep she is or was resident DJ at Golden Pudel in Hamburg with Dietroiter an awesome electro DJ himself.
Word. Same amount of live shows i've catched, same experiance, same conclusion. 🙂
first time last weekend at Sónar Festival 22 here, still buzzing! mind blowing set
Couldn´t agree more. Your post is 3 years old, still valid. Saw her live maaaany years ago in Unsound in Krakow Poland and recently in Sonar in Barcelona and she´s fire, hasn´t change!
it's dark, it's rough, dirty, clean and soft....like a boxing glove made out of velvet... reminds me a bit of a david Lynch movie
Go slower with the drugs man

Incredible set, incredible energy! especially the closing (Zeta Reticula) is amazing! If I were there, I would like Helena to continue playing more!...
I've just discovered this set and it's the third time I'm listening to it today (the whole set, yes).
God I've listened to this so many times
Currently on my 70ish
Hands down for the best DJ of the moment. Essential Mix winner, also delivering some great Electro/Detroit/Darkwave tunes at Residency BBC 1 monthly. She's making history, there's no match for her.
This set is absolutely a gift to this world 💙 came here from her latest fantastic set on Radio 1’s Residency
This is the best set I have ever heard and it’s not even close
I want all of these tunes
Amazing stuff Mrs. Hauff, this is the kind of set where the music has been as fkn well selected and mixed that all of us want to have all the tracks. Then we play it in our own way and immediately realise that is far far away from Helena's greatness.

Best set of Dekmantel, and one of my fave Boiler Room sets :D
100% agree!
best set tho
tu lo has dicho hermano
God this might be the best start to a set I’ve ever heard. Hits you hard and fast but you don’t feel like it’s rushed. I’d kill to be there
I am so FUCKING jealous
One of the best set i've ever heard in my life.
I agree my friend
This is a great set. Proper old Skool feel. And all vinyl and well mixed. It's brilliant, in fact.
Another artist to keep that sound alive yo!, she definetely KNOWS
G Khan she knows...lol
G Khan yah 😎
what does she know?
sexmachine-Stay on the scene Proper electro
Good lookin' out, Lardossan!
Just saw her last night at Fabric and came here to watch this. She is a genius!
That's a fucking master crafted set right there. Crowd losing their minds. Good times
It’s an absolute beast.
ben wylde tis boy, back again for the 50th time aha
i like how even the cameraman dances in the background lol
Never heard a bad set from this girl. Absolute dynamite

this set is puuure gold, absolutely love it
What a set .what a girl !!!rocked the house old school.✨🙏✨
god DAMN....so fortunate to see her in Los Angeles in July...bring me back Helena
Track selection is O N P O I N T
Love the 90's rave vibes
😂🙏🙏
Absolutely remorseless set. Saw her play in Nottingham (UK) a few years back, and was really impressed then as well.
Few DJs like to play the old school electro like she did at the beginning. Danke Helena 👍
Legenday, indeed....Years on....Best Boiler Room set ever...
Helena is awesome. Its the only way to do it on Vinyl. Proper organic excellent mixing and tunes for the ultimate atmosphere!
cant stop listening to this set!!! helena #1
Actually one of my favorite DJ sets period.
The Hauff is HOT.
I'm curious, 6 years later. Still?
hadn't heard from until very recently, she definitely is one of the coolest cats around
i feel like its the 80's again, and im listening to my parents electro vinyl collection.
😯
You have cool parents
7:15
Transition of the year, won by Helena Hauff. Musical expression in the highest level by mixing techniques.. f*ckin godess. I love her endless...
CRIMINAL, five years have passed and I am still suprised by this transition
One of my fave sets ever
Track at 50-th min is complete techno/electro delirium. Also played by DJ Stingray a year ago at Dekmantel. But Helena decided to let it play. And the last one is just an insanity! Top!
Illektrolab. All his stuff is super dope!
Going back to that set every time I can absolute legendary set
Hell music, floor is being destroyed, crowd is going mental and she's calmly makin' a cig...love
That crowd went insane! Thank god Electro is back.
hipsters keep talking about girls like amelie lens or charlotte, even the more vangard artirts like Nastia are not even close to Helena. great mix, great selection (always on point). just bang bang bang bang...the way we like it.

Helena is the bomb , look up a Scottish DJ called Solid Blake she has a similar mix of Electro and techno.
Lol you dont know anything.... Mixing vinyl at a high level in 3-5 weeks? Forget about it.
Plus, she is mainly mixing electro, not techno.
Never heard of them..
Seeing her tonight in Miami. So stoked. 🔊🔊🖤
How I started listening to Helena Hauff...
First time boiler room dude don't want to stop this ACTION but format is only 1 hour .. so he has too :)) Helena you are beast!
helena always delivers
Nice to see, she is holding up finely in between the sunglasses without sun.
Great set, great atomosphere. I recommend finding the BBC Essential Mix of the year 2017 set she did as well.
What an awesome mix by an awesome and beautiful Dj.
def the best boileroom in my opinion. keep coming back
Have been on a Boiler room Binge , uffff How I didn't find Helena Hauff sooner , what a set. Good crowd. Was loving Solomuns Tulum and Rodhad etc and Nina and Ben Klock but this is well up there. Shame cant find more live sets of Helena. 50 unjust thumbs down crazy.
the camera clips speak to the epicness.
This is what they call a killer set!! Amazing!
Helena Hauff to the History! Best Boiler Room Ever!
this set is iconic already
The set reminds me of Dave Clarke when he did electro mixes. Same dark vibe in the track selection but Helena mixes with more precision and less clutter. The Baroness trumps the Baron!

The last tune is one of Umek's finest, when he was on form. Great set!
Thanks Boiler Room & Helena Hauff
Great set! Really enjoying this.
What a set. Pumped to see her at Meredith music festival this year. It's gonna go off
Glad we're allowed to dance fast again
ahahah

stop the video then use the keys , and . to go frame by frame forward and backward
Ahahah
It reminds me the good old days of 00's glad to hear, it's not dead.
Good tunes and mixing are timeless...
The whole set is beyond solid ... but that Umek on the end is like the cherry on the insanely tasty cake :)
amazing, can't wait to see her later in the year
Goddamn why did I have to discover this at 4 AM? 😩 I can't turn it off 😍
😋😋
Banging beat, amazing style. Very nice performance !
Helena Hauff is amazing 💚
Mother of God, 🙏 😋, this is how to use that Technics 1200. Excellent mix and music 🎵🎶🎶🎵.
I had a dream about Helena Hauff! I am in love with her! XD
Still killing it in 2020
I'm loving this. She's got talent.
This is all vinyl as well, all time. A set that got her the closing set at Dekmantel the following year
