BRUSSELS / BERLIN — Global techno icon Amelie Lens celebrated her 36th birthday yesterday on May 31st, marking the milestone at the absolute pinnacle of her career. The Belgian DJ, producer, and label boss has given her global fanbase the ultimate birthday gift: the announcement of her highly anticipated debut studio album, AURA.
Set to drop on September 4, 2026, through her own EXHALE Records, the 11-track LP arrives exactly a decade after her breakout 2016 debut track "Exhale."
"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," Lens shared, reflecting on her whirlwind decade in the industry.
A Massive Summer Ahead
The birthday celebrations lead directly into a stacked summer festival circuit. Fans can catch Lens headlining major stages across Europe with her immersive AURA live performance concept, including highly anticipated sets at:
Tomorrowland (Belgium)
Sónar (Spain)
Paléo Festival (Switzerland)
From her early days scouring the Belgian underground scene to commanding mainstages worldwide with her signature fast-paced, atmospheric techno, Lens continues to reshape the global electronic music landscape.
The first single from the album, "our frequency," is out now on all streaming platforms.
