Former Crack Magazine cover star Helena Hauff and electro and breakbeat visionary DJ MELL G came together for an exchange of “dark grooves, broken rhythms, and unexpected moments” at this year’s Nuits sonores Festival. Lock in.
Who: DJ MELL G & Helena Hauff.
Where: Hamburg.
What: Electro, techno.
When: Real Hamburg electro for big stages – DJ MELL G
Early evening festival in an old industrial warehouse – Helena Hauff
Why: Because it’s raw, direct, and underground. Electro and club music have this energy that hits you in the stomach and makes you move without thinking. That’s what inspires me: shaping sounds that feel rough and futuristic at the same time, taking influences from the underground and turning them into something alive on the dancefloor. When I DJ, it’s about creating that intense exchange with the crowd – dark grooves, broken rhythms, unexpected moments. It’s not about perfection; it’s about energy, attitude, and pushing limits. That freedom, that raw connection, that’s what keeps me inspired. – DJ MELL G
I want to bring like-minded people together, make them dance, sweat, love, and feel alive. Feel connected to each other and the vastness of the universe. When everything comes together perfectly, I can feel this shiver running down my spine, and that feeling is so addictive that I keep chasing it. Somehow, it makes me feel less lonely for just a few seconds. – Helena Hauff
