HELANG Unleashes Fierce House-Techno Anthem “Don’t Depend” on MEDUZA’s AETERNA Records

Chinese-American powerhouse HELANG closes out a breakout summer with her boldest release to date, Don’t Depend, arriving August 22nd on MEDUZA’s cutting-edge label AETERNA Records. The track is a commanding house and techno hybrid that highlights HELANG’s signature fusion of sultry minimalism and unrelenting energy, cementing her place among the most thrilling rising talents in the global electronic scene.

Driven by a hypnotic bassline and razor-sharp percussion, Don’t Depend embodies HELANG’s fearless ethos of self-reliance and artistic independence. It’s an empowering dance floor weapon, merging atmospheric textures with raw intensity to deliver an emotionally charged statement about carving your own path in the industry.

This summer has been pivotal for HELANG, marked by a standout set at Kappa FuturFestival in Italy and an opening slot for techno luminary Charlotte de Witte in New York. Her AETERNA Records debut is a milestone moment, aligning her with MEDUZA’s forward-thinking imprint renowned for pushing genre innovation while maintaining undeniable dance floor appeal.

Don’t Depend follows a string of high-profile releases showcasing HELANG’s range and vision. Earlier this year, she dropped Hits Different on Oliver Heldens’ HILOMATIK imprint during AAPI Heritage Month and earned critical acclaim for her Flashback EP on HE.SHE.THEY. Records, featured in Billboard and praised by industry heavyweights. Her Firehot EP on her own Dauntless Records further solidified her reputation for maintaining creative control and breaking artistic barriers.

Beyond the studio, HELANG continues to cultivate an inclusive community within electronic music. Her Dauntless Records showcases—most recently a sold-out, all-female lineup at The Sultan Room in New York—highlight her commitment to creating platforms for underrepresented voices and celebrating diversity and authenticity.

Since founding Dauntless Records in 2023, HELANG has earned support from industry titans including Maceo Plex, Richie Hawtin, Marco Faraone, Nicole Moudaber, and Joseph Capriati, while attracting coverage from influential outlets like DJ Mag, Forbes, Beatportal, Mixmag Brasil, and YourEDM.

With Don’t Depend, HELANG delivers another fearless statement of intent, blending technical prowess with uncompromising authenticity. As her meteoric rise continues, she remains a beacon of inspiration—amplifying her Chinese-American heritage, challenging industry norms, and igniting dance floors worldwide.
