Amelie Lens

Amelie Lens (, ; born 31 May 1990) is a Belgian electronic music DJ, record producer, and owner of the record label Lenske.

Early life Amelie Lens was born in Vilvoorde, Belgium. She was raised by her grandmother beginning at the age of five, following the death of her mother. She went to art school in Antwerp.

Shortly after the festival, Lens was discovered by a modeling agency and subsequently began working full-time as a model, living in London, Paris and Milan. She has walked the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier and campaigned for H&M.

In 2016, her first track "Exhale" was released on Italian imprint Lyase Recordings. As a resident at Hasselt's Labyrinth Club, Lens started curating her own nights under the name EXHALE. Lens has expanded the EXHALE parties further afield, with regular showcases at the London's Fabric club and at Creamfields, OFFSonar, Dour and Extrema festivals.

Her debut studio album, Aura, is scheduled to release in September 2026.

Personal life Lens married her longtime boyfriend Sam Deliaert, who is also active as a DJ under the stage name Farrago, in summer 2022. In December 2023, Lens gave birth to a daughter.

Musical sound and equipment Her sound is a "very energetic techno".

She often plays live using a Pioneer RMX 1000. Lens says she uses the effects box "to add layers to the mix. It has a built-in sampler and personalised effects that can entirely reform the track that is playing. Like everything, its use is situational. Sometimes I hardly touch it, but when I play a peak-time set it truly shines. I specifically look for and buy tracks that will work well with the device. Very stripped-down or minimalistic percussion locked grooves." While producing, Amelie uses Ableton Live DAW, as well as the Elektron Analog Four synth and sequencer. 2016: Let it Go (Second State) 2017: Contradiction (Second State) 2017: Stay With Me (Second State) 2017: Nel (Elevate) 2018: Amelie Lens & Farrago - Weight Of The Land (Arts) 2018: Regal / Amelie Lens - INVOLVE 020 (Involve) 2018: Basiel (Lenske) 2019: Teach Me (Amelie Lens Remixes) (Drumcode) 2019: Hypnotized (Second State) 2019: Look What Your Love Has Done To Me Remixed (Perc Trax) 2019: Litte Robot (Lenske) 2019: Fabric Presents Amelie Lens CD-mix compilation (Fabric) 2020: Various - The Future (Lenske) 2020: Higher (Lenske) 2021: Amelie Lens & AIROD - Raver's Heart (Lenske) 2022: In My Mind (Lenske) 2023: Feel It (EXHALE) 2023: Radiance (EXHALE) 2023: You and Me (EXHALE) 2024: Breathe (EXHALE) 2024: Underneath The Strobelights (EXHALE) 2026: Aura
