Amelie Lens

[2] Lens became absorbed in electronic music at 15, after attending the 2005 Dour Festival in Belgium, an experience she describes as "life-changing".

It was like a whole new world opened for me; I made playlists in iTunes, putting tracks in an order that I liked, kind of like a podcast but not mixed.

[3] During her career as a model, Lens was working free-time as a DJ under the name Renée, her late mother's name,[3] earning herself a residency at the Labyrinth Club in Hasselt, Belgium in 2013.

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.

Lens married her longtime boyfriend Sam Deliaert, who is also active as a DJ under the stage name Farrago, in summer 2022.

[7] Though previously involved in the techno scene, her recent sets are known for their mixture of classic acid and tribal house influences along with more commercial European trance sounds.
