Top Pick Amelie Lens #44: Amelie Lens – Antwerp 3×12″ Global Underground vinyl record

3×12″ Techno Compilation – Amelie Lens is a firm part of the techno new school. The Belgian DJ came up with some vital residences in her home country and is now a regular on the world’s biggest stages. Her sound matches that scale too – it’s big, brash techno that is utterly unapologetic and often dark. She shows that here one on disc of her Global Underground mix, while the second follows a more emotional, melodic arc with more synths colouring the grooves. It’s a fine statement, all tightly mixed, and one that proves just why she is such a sensation in the modern scene.
