Amelie Lens consolidates her legacy with 'AURA', her first studio album
The producer and Belgian techno icon, Amelie Lens, has recently confirmed the release of her debut album titled 'AURA'. This highly anticipated LP, consisting of 11 tracks, will be released on September 4, 2026, through her own record label, EXHALE. As a preview, the artist has unveiled the first promotional cut, 'Our Frequency', a piece that is already available on the digital market and stands out for integrating her own vocals over a base of hypnotic sequences and high-octane percussion.
The anatomy of a record milestone and its technical deployment
After a decade of uninterrupted rise in the global clubbing circuit since her breakthrough in 2016, Lens conceives this project as a sonic retrospective of her career. The album will be available in both digital format and a physical edition for collectors: a 12-inch double vinyl gatefold in blue and white colors. The sound design ranges from experimental intros to explorations of frantic rhythm, including a repertoire that the artist has already tested live during key performances, such as her recent 'back-to-back' with Sara Landry at the 2026 edition of the Ultra Miami festival.

This is the most honest version of myself I have ever shared. From playing in small local clubs and driving at night to get to gigs, to performing on huge festival stages, becoming a mother, building EXHALE and learning to balance it all in life.

The impact of 'Our Frequency' and the expansion of the live format
The single 'Our Frequency' sets the technical standard for the album, merging the relentless energy of 'peak-time' techno with highly introspective melodic textures. The synthesis approach and vocal treatment used by the artist create a direct bridge between the forcefulness required on the dance floor and an intimate atmosphere, demonstrating clear maturity in the studio. This release not only reinforces the EXHALE catalog, positioning it as one of the most consistent labels in the current scene, but also serves as a cornerstone for the new live audiovisual concept called 'AURA'. This immersive show will be the central axis of her summer tour, confirming her presence on highly demanding international stages such as Sónar, Paléo Festival and Tomorrowland.
