Amelie Lens teaches her 2-year-old how to DJ on vinyl

A new video from Amelie Lens shows the techno star introducing her two-year-old daughter to vinyl DJing, offering a candid and heartwarming glimpse into life behind the decks as a mother.

Amelie Lens has shared an intimate moment from her home life, posting a video of herself guiding her toddler through the basics of DJing on vinyl. In the clip, her daughter bounces along to the beat while playfully interacting with the decks, occasionally toggling controls under Lens’ guidance. The moment feels less like a lesson and more like a natural extension of a life immersed in music.

The caption accompanying the post adds another layer of meaning, with Lens writing, “from playing sets while she was in my belly to playing vinyl her at two years old.” It ties together her journey as both an artist and a mother, highlighting how deeply intertwined those identities have become over the past few years.

Fans and fellow artists quickly flooded the comments with reactions. DJ and new mother Alison Wonderland, presumably going through a similar experience, responded, “😢I love all of this,” while one fan joked, “The most awaited B2B ever😍❤️😂,” capturing the collective sentiment around the wholesome moment.

Amelie Lens’ openness about motherhood has been consistent. When her daughter turned seven months old, she shared a detailed reflection on touring while pregnant, addressing the criticism she faced and emphasizing the care she took with her health and environment. She described the experience as empowering, noting that it ultimately made her feel more ambitious and creative rather than slowing her down. That journey was also explored in her reflections on miscarriage and resilience.

Her willingness to speak candidly extends beyond joyful moments. Lens has also previously opened up about miscarriage, using her platform to normalize conversations that are often kept private. That same honesty carries into lighter posts like this one, where family life and music coexist in harmony.

As one of techno’s most influential figures, Lens continues to shape the culture not only through her sound but through the way she navigates life in the public eye. Her personal life has also intersected with her career in other ways, including moments like her playful Las Vegas ceremony with Farrago.
