Amelie Lens knows how to make a debut. After receiving an invite from Pete Tong to perform her first Essential Mix, Lens delivered the first four-hour mix the storied BBC Radio 1 program has seen since 1997. The extended set is an honor well-deserved for Lens, who has been quickly rising up the ranks of electronic music to become one of the hottest acts in techno at the moment
If her Essential Mix still isn’t enough techno for your taste, there’s plenty more Lens for you. The budding Belgian star also recently recorded a lockdown session from her home, featuring two more hours of tunes and a guest appearances from her cats.
Listen to the Essential Mix here.
