Amelie Lens

Fast forward to 2024 and Amelie is heading her labels Lenske and EXHALE Records, running her party series EXHALE, holds down an extensive touring schedule and hosts her own radio show ‘Amelie Lens presents EXHALE’. The show now streams online and broadcasts on 34 radio stations across the globe, reaching nearly 5 million listeners with every episode.

Since 2018, her Lenske label has homed releases from techno trailblazers Farrago, AIROD, Ahl Iver, Lokier and Milo Spykers whilst her second label EXHALE Records is a dedicated platform giving way to aspiring producers of the next generation. The label has become highly acclaimed for its standout VA series, which act as a springboard for newcomers as well as artists who have featured on EXHALE for solo releases.

Amelie has been focused on her signature sound, emphasised by the use of her own vocals. She wants to capture audiences that may not always be there for techno but feel connected after discovering something new.

The success of EXHALE’s event series has been unprecedented, with sold out shows in Europe and the United States. The brand has crowned Amelie as the first female artist to run her own residency in Ibiza, and has run for two seasons during 2022 and 2023 at DC-10. With massive shows in Antwerp and Awakenings ADE, Printworks and Drumsheds in London, as well as New York and LA in March 2023, EXHALE has a legacy to be proud of.

The summer of 2024, and EXHALE is back on the island at Amnesia, where Amelie’s focus is always on community, something she has strived hard to push and support since their first event. EXHALE events act as a safe place for everyone to come and share the passion they have for music, to feel like you are part of a family, a core component of the brands identity.

Following her special 4-hour essential mix for BBC, a first for the coveted mix series with such an extended set from any artist. Not forgetting the success of her Radio 1 residency and extension in 2020, Amelie continues to establish herself as one of techno’s luminaries.

It’s hard not to see the extreme determination and hard work that Amelie Lens has put into every aspect of her career, and with her first solo shows with her own production scheduled for April 2024 in Paris, there is a lot to come to be excited about. Yet after all of the achievements in her career so far, there is something that remains unchanged about Amelie, and that is her infectiously positive attitude, one that has taken her this far.
