Surveying the outer realms of contemporary house and techno, with ample doses of acid, electro, wave and punishing industrial, our Rewire 2017 club programme on Saturday, 1 April stretches deep into the night with no fewer than 5 live hardware sets, capped off by German turntable maverick Helena Hauff. To get you warmed up, we’ve handpicked our favourite tracks and mixes by each performing artist.

Helena Hauff
A long time resident of Hamburg’s infamous Golden Pudel Club, Helena Hauff has become one of the most revered DJ’s of her generation. An analogue freak, her eclectic all-vinyl sets are rooted in a twilight-lit area of sharp acid sounds, cold Detroit rhythmics, monolith industrial scapes and even minimalist wave atmospherics.
