Release: 28th November 2025

In just half a decade EXHALE’s unique brand of boundary-pushing, futuristic electronic music has marked them out as one of techno’s all-time greats, bringing together rising artists with heavyweight international names like no-one else. Evidenced succinctly on their highly impressive VA series, now on its seventh release, the compilations are a testament to the brilliance of Lens’ curatorial skill and the remarkable pool of talent in her orbit making waves in techno's global underground.

Across thirteen tracks, Exhale VA007 is a magnificent taster menu of some of the best in the game right now, featuring a number of familiar faces from the EXHALE roster including Flour, fresh from his recent Visitors EP on the label, previous VA returnees GALLØ and FLKN and EXHALE regular AIROD. Fittingly 5th birthday celebrations are opened here by label boss herself, with the incredible ‘Activate’. The track is everything you could want from Amelie Lens: pummeling kick, flawless, high impact production, trancy big room arps and a gargantuan drop that will put you in spin mode.

This is a compilation that brims with raw energy, exciting talent and encapsulates EXHALE’s dynamic techno universe with aplomb. As essential as the label itself, here’s to the next five years and many more to come!
