The full story of Chris Lake's rise, sound and signature catalogue.
Chris Lake — born Christopher Lake in Norwich, England and now based in Los Angeles — is one of dance music's great reinventors. He first broke through in the late 2000s with vocal house hits, then re-emerged in the 2010s as a leading force in raw, swung tech house.
His breakthrough single “Changes” charted on both sides of the Atlantic, and a 2012 Grammy nomination followed for his work with deadmau5. In 2017 he launched Black Book Records, which quickly became one of tech house's most respected labels, releasing anthems like “Operator (Ring Ring)” and “Deceiver” with Green Velvet.
