Limited-edition sunburst color vinyl, housed in gatefold jacket with UV spot varnish with printed innersleeves and exterior screen-printed PVC bag. Amelie Lens' debut album Aura is the first full-length studio album to come from the Belgian artist despite being one of the most respected and sought-after acts in electronic music today. Of the album, Amelie says: "Aura is my story. Aura is about the connection between the crowd and me. Music has always been my escape, my way of turning my emotions and energy into something new. When I was younger, I would disappear into nightclubs and create my own world in my head. Being in the nightclubs gave me this feeling of belonging somewhere, I felt connection and freedom I had never experienced before. That feeling changed my life completely. So this album really reflects that whole journey. From playing tiny local clubs and driving myself through the night for gigs, to standing on huge festival stages, becoming a mother, building EXHALE and learning how to balance it all in life. I wanted Aura to feel emotional but still powerful, uplifting but raw. From big festival tracks to the trippy tracks I'd play at 4am at RSO. Although making this album is one of the biggest things I have ever done in my life, I wanted to keep it light and somehow playful. Because that is also how I am as a person. This is the most honest version of myself I've ever shared. I hope it brings some light, happiness and connection to others as it does to me. Because Aura is and always will be about my connection to you." The album consists of 11 brand new tracks, all produced by Lens.

LENSKE 007EP
|
Amelie Lens returns to drop her second solo release on Lenske. First in line, the hard-hitting "Helium" blurs the dancer's mind through a haze of understated sub-bass moves and sonar bleeps. Carried through by Amelie's signature vocals, "Man Over Machine" continues down the hypnotic path with unrelenting efficacy, before the stadium-sized steamroller "Little Robot" takes you to a raving climax. Last but not least, the aptly named "Storm" raises the BPMs to ensure maximal impact until the very final moments. Transparent vinyl.

SNDST 063EP
|
One-and-half years since her last outing on Second State, Amelie Lens returns to the label with three-track EP Hypnotized. The title track breaks the ice on a fiercely pounding note. Flexing out the heavy kick artillery, brooding chord stabs, and cascading snares while Amelie's delayed vox hooks steadily sink you into a whelming state of trance. Reaching for the most remote recesses of the dancers' minds, "Access" revs up the engine a notch further with its psychoactive synthwaves. Adding their euphoric spin to "Hypnotized", Joyhauser seal the deal with an all-out rave-y anthem of a rework.

LENSKE 003EP
|
Holding steady after a busy season that saw her deliver releases on the likes of Pan-Pot, Second State and Arts, Belgian techno architect Amelie Lens is now set to release her debut solo outing, Basiel EP on her own label Lenske. Named after her godchild, Basiel EP blazes with the truly euphoric, hi-NRG pulse that defines both Lens' productions and the large-scope vision she has for Lenske. No doubt this collection of boisterous tech ransackers will turn from secret mass destruction weapons into peak time missiles for the hotheads out there. Transparent vinyl in custom transparent sleeve.

SNDST 038EP
|
2020 repress. Amelie Lens delivers a three-tracker of her signature pulse-pounding expeditions, paired with a remix from Perc. In "Follow", atmospheric shimmers dance around endless spaces, with Amelie's smooth and seductive voice coaxing you to follow her. Amelie embraces her affinity for the heavy with "Stay With Me", where swirling acid lines and gargantuan drums lead you into a trance. Perc delivers a monster remix of "Stay With Me" as he tightly loops the vocal and lays it over a pleasantly brutal beat. "Winter", named after Amelie's mischievous little feline, retains a playful and energetic pace with a dash of frisky trouble.
