Chris Lake
Active since the early 2000s, British producer/DJ Chris Lake has built up a massive discography of original productions and remixes, ranging from progressive house and tech-house to vocal-driven EDM. He's scored several charting hits, collaborated with EDM heavyweights such as Deadmau5 and Steve Aoki, and remixed pop stars such as Sia, Kylie Minogue, and Lady Gaga. Lake is also responsible for the Rising Music label, which has released dozens of tracks since 2005. He issued his full-length debut, Crazy, in 2009, and collaborated with Marco Lys on 2010's Cross the Line. Lake later released EPs with Walker & Royce (2018's Close Your Eyes) and Armand Van Helden (2020's The Answer), and additionally worked with Riva Starr on the 2021 single "Beat Freak" and Aluna on 2023's "Beggin'."
Lake first made an impact in 2002, when his bootleg remixes of songs by the Prodigy and the Eurythmics (produced under the pseudonym Christophe D'Abuc) grabbed the attention of in-the-know progressive house DJs. Lake's first original single, "Santiago de Cuba," was also released that year. Lake then issued singles on labels such as Pangea Recordings and Statra Recordings, kicking off Rising Music with the release of "One Too Many" in late 2005. His first big hit was "Changes" (featuring vocalist Laura V), which reached the Top Ten of Billboard's dance airplay chart and the Top 30 of the U.K. singles chart. Arriving in 2007, "Carry Me Away" (featuring Emma Hewitt) topped the dance airplay chart, and 2008's "Only One" and "If You Knew" were also Top Ten successes. Lake's debut album, Crazy, was released by Nervous Records in 2009, containing several of his previous singles.
In 2010, Lake split a volume of the Toolroom Knights mix CD series with Tocadisco. Later that year, Lake and frequent collaborator Marco Lys produced the album Cross the Line, released by Rising Music. The single "I Said" (a collaboration with Deadmau5) also appeared in 2010 and became a club hit. In 2012, Lake signed with Ultra Records. He produced several singles for the label over the next few years, including collaborations with Steve Aoki and Anna Lunoe. In 2017, Lake signed to Skrillex's OWSLA, debuting with the single "I Want You." The two-track Close Your Eyes EP -- a collaboration with Walker & Royce -- followed the next year. Additional singles "Y.O.D.O.," "Deceiver," and "Stay with Me" carried him into 2019.
2020 brought the four-song EP The Answer, a collaboration with house legend Armand Van Helden. Lake and Riva Starr released "Beat Freak," with vocalist lau.ra, in 2021. He also collaborated with NPC for the same year's "A Drug from God." In 2022, Lake issued "400," "Nightmares," and "In the Yuma" (featuring Aatig). "Beggin'," a collaboration with Aluna, appeared in 2023.
