Amelie Lens

From:Belgium

DJ style:Techno

Best known for:“Playing high energetic sets.”

One of techno’s bright young stars, Belgium’s Amelie Lens has continuously brought her high-octane sets to clubs and festivals across the globe for nearly a decade now. Her debut release, ‘Exhale’, on Lyase Recordings gained high acclaim and cemented her music firmly in the world of driving, peak-time techno. After releases on Drumcode, Second State and Perc Trax followed, she then launched her own Lenske imprint — and more recently EXHALE. They’ve been a solid outlet for her productions since their inception with tracks like ‘Trinity’, ‘Radiance’ and ‘Feel It’ released this year. EXHALE also debuted as a party series on the hedonistic island of Ibiza with a residency at DC-10 where she invited the likes of Ben Sims, Dax J, DJ Bone, ANNA, Farrago and many more to play alongside her.

Amelie continues to grow a solid reputation and a dedicated fanbase, with career milestones including headline status at festivals like Awakenings and Tomorrowland. 2023 saw her touring across Europe, Asia and the USA, and she’ll be returning to Canada this winter. She’s also revealed that she’s expecting a baby with her husband Farrago next year and is greatly looking forward to motherhood. Congratulations!

Le Shuuk

From: Stuttgart, Germany

DJ style:“Hard dance / electro / hardstyle / techno / EDM.”

Best known for: “The tracks ‘Sandmann’, ‘Toast Hawaii’ and ‘Konje’, as well as being a resident and face of WORLD CLUB DOME Festival.”

A mainstay of the electronic scene for almost 20 years now, Stuttgart native Le Shuuk is no stranger to the rigours of touring. In the last 12 months, he decided to overhaul his lifestyle, committing to exercising regularly and abstaining from drinking during his shows. As a result, the DJ and producer, who is a favourite of the German festival circuit, says that he is having more fun on stage than ever. He credits these changes with allowing him to connect on a deeper level with his audiences, as well as redefine his career goals and look with renewed focus to the future.

The new healthy habits clearly agree with him. As well as recently performing at festivals and clubs across Europe, and holding his own Le Shuuk & Friends parties in his home city, he continues to build on the momentum of tracks like 2020’s peak-rave, German language tune ‘Sandmann’ and 2021’s hypnotic ‘Goodbye’ (featuring Xillions). This year he had another star turn with the explosive ‘Konje’, a collaboration with B-Stylezz that combined modern techno and EDM with the traditional elements of Bulgarian folk songs, with the track receiving big support from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Amelie Lens, and Joyhauser.
