Hellänelli
Hellänelli combines Finnish hooklines with deep tech house rhythms, creating unique-sounding dance music with a northern twist. The project’s debut release Leikki / Herään landed in November 2025 via finnish house music label Youth Control, gaining international attention like radio play on France’s Radio FG. In a short time, Hellänelli has played several DJ gigs at UG parties and clubs, and her sets consist of a rolling mix of her unreleased tracks and other grooving tech house. Behind the alias Hellänelli is a long-time musician Nelli Milan, who has performed hundreds of gigs, written songs for top Finnish artists including Bess and Robin Packalen, and earned gold records and an Emma Award nomination with her feministic rap group BÄMÄ. After years spent in Finland’s mainstream music scene, she steps into the electronic underground with a project that reflects her passion as both producer and a long-time raver.
