Fred Thomas has got us all thinking again! His brilliant new video for “Good Times Are Gone Again” shows the Michigan indie rock veteran going about his everyday life.

From her start in Hamburg’s underground club Golden Pudel to a 2017 BBC Essential Mix that earned her accolades, Helena Hauff has remained relentless in her pursuit of a sound she describes as “grainy and rough and a bit fucked up.” It’s what her upcoming album Qualm excels in: Drawing from the harsher end of techno and EBM, Hauff’s songs are made from from bristling, gnarled textures and sleek futuristic tones. “Hyper-Intelligent Genetically Enriched Cyborg” is the relentless centerpiece of Qualm, a dystopian slice of electro that’ll shove a soundsystem into the red. Her Roland 303 bass sends the track into full throttle, and a warbling high frequency gives the track a woozy feel, a visceral mix of raw energy and queasiness. Breathless and menacing, her anthemic synth lines conjure the heightened darkness and drama of an old 1980s sci-fi soundtrack—you could imagine it spinning during the nightclub scene in The Terminator. The bruising beats here encapsulate what makes Hauff one of techno’s most formidable forces.
