XLR8R handed out a lot of accolades during December’s Best of 2013 frenzy, one of which went to German DJ/producer Helena Hauff, who was tabbed as one of the year’s Best New Artists. A longtime resident at the much-loved Golden Pudel club in Hamburg, and someone who has previously released music with PAN and Werkdiscs, Hauff will soon be issuing two new EPs, one solo and the other a collaborative effort. As Resident Advisor reports, both records will be coming via the Panzerkreuz imprint, which is a sub-label of the long-running Bunker Records. The first is a six-track solo EP called Return to Disorder, which is slated for March. The complete tracklist is below, along with a stream of lead cut “Spirals of Smoke Drifting from Soot Stained Chimneys.” Hauff’s second EP is another outing as Black Sites, her project with fellow Golden Pudel resident F#X. Few specifics have been given, though the record is said be a collaboration with a Hague-based artist known as Ghetto Gems, and is purported to contain “acid house ghetto tech jam retardedness vs. heavy-pounding and brain-crushing acidic darkcore techno insanity.”
