Release: 26th July 2024

It’s almost impossible to believe that a label with so much international notoriety is still within its first ten releases. Still, Belgian Techno protagonist Amelie Lens’ EXHALE imprint is set to make even more noise with its ninth release. Following a spate of well-received singles from Amelie and the latest offering from fellow Antwerp native BYØRN, EXHALE prepares itself for an impressive fifth VA, featuring 14 selected cuts from 16 artists in total. A slew of internationally recognised names and rising new-age talent, welcoming back some familiar faces alongside some debutants, including two collaboration tracks.

Led by Amelie Lens’ ‘Underneath The Strobelights’, featuring her trademark vocals she paves the way for EXHALE VA005. Fellow Antwerp local NOVAH debuts on the label, after her notable b2b sets with BYØRN of late, her track ‘Inner Odyssey’ is followed by VENTUR’s ‘Let It Kick’, a track that lives up to its name. Young Irishman Luciid also makes his first appearance with the epic cut ‘Era Of Us’. BYØRN is back with another massive offering in ‘Our Destiny’, followed by SWART, who also returns with ‘Extazy’ a hard hitting pacy vocal peak timer. Teletech resident Alex Farell makes his debut alongside Farrago, in their first collab together on ‘All Systems Go’, with its spoken vocals and pummelling bass, before French producer ARDL at just 21 debuts with ‘Hyperactive’, with his focus on raw sounding techno.

Another duo of back-to-back debuts sees the elusive FLKN drop ‘Rumble’, influenced by 303 sounds, he makes things dark and distorted. UK-based Aaron Hibell with the vampiric ‘1999’, its bouncy fast bass it makes it the grooviest techno track of the VA. Berliner Afem Syko’s known for his unpredictable, vibrant sets offer his track ‘Slingshot’, backed up by returning American powerhouse and Terra Novae label founder Chemtrailz who become loved for his trance-inducing techno hybrid sound, teams up alongside Hani with their track ‘Goddessblood’. Italy’s Rian Wood comes in hot with penultimate cut ‘Anima’, as he expresses his passion for music through hard techno, neo rave and old school influences. Closing off the colossal VA is French talent, La Kajofol who recently released on ARTCORE. She seals the release with the irresistibly signature ‘Black Rhapsody’. Her music brings a unique style of her own which she calls ‘Mystical Techno’, infusing hypnotism into psytrance and techno with her eerie vocals.

Championing the diversity of the modern-day techno paradigm, EXHALE’s latest VA dips its toe into a myriad of genres, with nods to psytrance, breakbeat, hardstyle, classical and even drum & bass across thirteen freakishly heavy dancefloor-primed stompers. It’s everything you’d want from a release that showcases artistry in its simplest form.

Release: 28th February 2025

EXHALE Records proudly welcomes AIROD for his first full EP on the label, delivering an electrifying three-track release that captures the essence of his raw, high-voltage sound. With the Amnesia EP, AIROD cements his status as a relentless force in the techno universe, blending industrial grit, pounding beats and immersive storytelling.

The title track 'Amnesia' immediately sets the tone with an unrelenting groove and hypnotic ethereal layers that build tension to near-breaking point. Pulsating with seismic bass and razor-sharp percussion, it's a peak-time weapon engineered to ignite the dancefloor with its trancy melody that leaves no one standing still. The single 'No Lover' gets straight to the point, starting with haunting female vocals and an eerie melody combined with a driving, full-throttle rhythm. Its menacing atmosphere, paired with pounding kicks and relentless progression, evokes the energy of a dark, intense warehouse at full tilt — "I'm afraid he's not enough", the voice keeps repeating. Closing the release with its epic choirs, 'Revival' offers a cathartic finale with its cinematic builds and euphoric drops. Merging catchy melodic elements with AIROD’s signature high-energy aesthetic, the track drives forward with a commanding urgency, delivering the perfect balance of aggression and emotion.

From the underground depths of Paris to the global techno stage, AIROD has become a mainstay at EXHALE events, and with the 'Amnesia EP' he takes his partnership with Amelie Lens' label to its next explosive chapter. This raw, epic, high-energy EP is a big statement in modern Techno, made for those who live for the intensity of the night.
