BIO
DEEP, RAW, EMOTIONAL, HYPNOTIC house & techno music
AMARE's sound is best described as deep, sassy, raw, with an hypnotic hint, and a joyful, exotic touch. Although there is a clear preference for energizing rhythms combined with delicate sensuous melodies, you may expect something unexpected - AMARE will play what you need to hear in that specific setting and context, she'll effortlessly cross genres and take you on a journey.
AMARE specialized in activating those neurons that trigger the happiness chemicals in your brain. Coming from an academic career in psychology, AMARE decided to switch careers when she realized that music is the best therapy. Her sets and Audacious events are designed to infuse joy and release stress.
AMARE started producing in 2019 and has released on prominent underground indie labels - Katermukke, Timeless Moment, Deep Woods, Tanzgemeinschaft, Krafted, XTR Records, Sunexplosion, Chrom Recordings, and many more.

Several of her releases reached high in the charts and were supported by, among others, Pete Tong, Solomun, Guy Gerber, Dirty Doering, Furia, Enrico Sangiuliano .... After releasing her first full EP, AMARE was invited to do a guest mix for BBC Radio 1.

From a very early age, AMARE has understood the power of music. Her parents sent her to ballet school as a toddler, since then she has been dancing every day of her life. First to classical music, later to jazz, hiphop, and rock ‘n roll. She enrolled in music school and learned to play flute and accordion. As a teenager, she discovered electronic music. Dancing the night away on those deep, underground beats became her weekly therapy.
After high-school, AMARE chose for an academic career and studied the whole range of human sciences. Meanwhile, she travelled the world and was influenced by different cultures and music genres, what you can hear in her music selection. AMARE knows what people need – which makes her an excellent crowd reader and music selector. Her goal is to let you forget about your daily hassles, so that you completely unwind on the dancefloor.
In her aim to bring like-minded people together, AMARE contributed actively to the electronic music scene in her home city, Brussels. She helped organizing several events and festivals [FTRSND (future sound); Brussels Electronic Marathon, an urban festival whose mission is to promote local artists and collaboration between the different collectives in the city; Cirque Magique].
But it was only in 2016, after finishing her PhD, that AMARE bought the equipment and started to learn how to DJ. With her striking energy, combining different genres effortlessly, and always bringing the right tune for the right moment, she wowed the crowd everywhere she played. Already one year later, she was booked at the biggest festival in the world, Tomorrowland, warming up for Tale of Us, Mind Against, Hunter/game, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, ...
Also in 2017, AMARE started her own party concept, AUDACIOUS, where she invites artists whose music she loves. More and more international gigs made it difficult to combine her academic career with performing in the weekend. AMARE decided to take a break from teaching at the university and she now focuses full-time on her music career.
