Chinese-American powerhouse Helang caps off a breakthrough summer with her most commanding release yet, ‘Don’t Depend,’ arriving August 22nd via MEDUZA’s prestigious AETERNA Records. The driving melodic techno anthem showcases Helang’s signature blend of sultry minimalism and raw power, delivering an uncompromising dance floor weapon that solidifies her position among electronic music’s most exciting rising talents.

‘Don’t Depend’ embodies Helang’s fearless approach to self-reliance and artistic independence. Built around a relentless bassline and hypnotic percussion, the track channels her rebellious spirit into an empowering statement about forging your own path. The production demonstrates her technical evolution while maintaining the emotional depth and atmospheric textures that have become hallmarks of her sound.

This summer has marked an undeniable period of growth for Helang, highlighted by her standout performance at Kappa FuturFestival in Italy and her recent opening slot for Charlotte de Witte in New York. Her debut on AETERNA Records represents another significant milestone, joining the roster of MEDUZA’s forward-thinking imprint known for championing innovative electronic music.

The release follows her successful ‘Hits Different’ single on Oliver Heldens’ Hilomatik imprint during AAPI Heritage Month, and her critically acclaimed ‘Flashback’ EP via He.She.They. Records, which garnered features in Billboard and continued praise from electronic music’s elite. Her ‘Firehot’ EP on her own Dauntless Records further demonstrated her commitment to maintaining creative control while pushing artistic boundaries.

AETERNA Records serves as MEDUZA’s platform for showcasing cutting-edge electronic music across house and techno genres. The imprint has quickly established itself as a destination for innovative productions that push creative boundaries while maintaining dancefloor appeal.

As Helang continues her meteoric rise through electronic music’s ranks, she remains dedicated to amplifying her authentic self and Chinese-American heritage, challenging industry norms and inspiring a new generation of artists. With each release and performance, she embodies the integrity, passion, and fearless spirit that define her artistic identity.
