Energy, emotion & evolution: inside the mind of amber broos
At 22, Amber Broos is already making decisions with the clarity of someone ten years more ex- perienced in the industry. Her last EP on Arcane, the label curated by Eli Brown, marks a creative pivot that’s less about proving herself and more about refining what already works.
The project was produced alongside Belgian artist Bermio, someone she calls both a close friend and an ideal creative partner. The result is a four-track statement that pulls from retro Belgian club culture and layers it with a darker, rawer texture. The EP trades oversized peaks for control, leaving just enough tension to keep the room locked in.
“These tracks aren’t trying to impress anyone.” “But they’re made to make people dance and enjoy themselves.”
There’s no inflated concept behind the record. No false narrative about reinvention. What’s notable is how self-assured it sounds. It doesn’t chase hype. It doesn’t ride trends. It delivers precisely what Amber intended, with a sound that lands between retro warehouse nostalgia and modern-day pressure.
“I made the EP together with Bermio, a very talented Belgian producer and a dear friend. We were completely in sync creatively, which made the whole process feel effortless and genuine.”
“Artistically, it blends my deep love for Belgian retro with more modern, raw textures. These tracks aren’t about flexing production skills. They’re about energy. They’re about joy.”

evolution is inevitable. But there’s a visible shift here. Broos isn’t just tweaking her sound. She’s reshaping the way she frames her work. The tracks are structured with a longer arc in mind. Less about immediate payoffs and more about functional build. This is music written for DJs.
NOT PLAYLISTS.
“The most challenging part was trusting my instincts and staying true to what I wanted to express, rather than focusing on what I thought people expected of me.”
“There’s always that pressure to fit a formula, to chase a specific reaction. But this EP reminded me that the most powerful energy comes when you create from a real place.”

That mindset carried through to the label decision. Arcane was the obvious choice, not because of its name, but because of its sound. Amber wasn’t looking for looking for the right ears.

“Arcane understands techno that’s both modern and atmospheric. That’s exactly the sound Bermio and I were going for. It felt like the right home.”
What sets Broos apart from other artists her age is not just her technical consistency, but her lack of hesitation. There’s no inflated ego and no performative humility. She’s focused. She knows what she wants, and she knows how to execute. That includes managing a packed touring schedule while protecting the reasons she got into this in the first place. With releases on Hilomatik, Filth on Acid, Arcane, and tracks in the making with several prominent
