Exhale

Techno lady-boss Amelie Lens said it was her dream to host a residency in Ibiza. This year, she made that dream a reality. The Belgian superstar has taken her prized record label Exhale across the world. But this year, the label was given its own weekly showcase at Ibiza’s legendary DC10 nightclub. This celebratory residency marks Exhale's debut on the island. Every Wednesday night through August, Amelie and the Exhale family bring some hard-hitting techno to the revered DC10 stages. On August 17, Lens is joined by Ahl Iver, Bambounou, Dax J, DJ Bone, Helena Hauff, Stef Medesidis, and TRYM. Amelie Lens is the face of Exhale and the owner of imprint Lenske. In 2016, she debuted with her Exhale EP on Italy’s Lyase Recordings. As a resident at Labyrinth Club in Hasselt, she began to curate her own club nights, also under the name Exhale. She has since taken Exhale experiences to festivals around the world.
