Chris Lake Biography

Chris Lake is widely regarded as one of the most innovative, forward-thinking, and cutting-edge producers on the scene, and his unusual ability to make tunes that merge aspects of house, electro, and techno has not gone unnoticed by his colleagues. His creative compositions continue to get support from luminaries such as Sasha, Danny Howells, Justin Robertson, Sander Kleinenberg, and Carl Cox, while Pete Tong leads the way in pushing the distinct sound that has established Chris as one of the world's finest. Chris has been a producer since 2001, and his big break came in 2005. His singles 'One Too Many' and 'Release' piqued the interest of the world's press and A&R executives, but it was the release of his mega hit 'Changes' that propelled his name into the record boxes of DJs all over the world. 'Changes' was named Radio 1's 'Essential New Tune' twice, reaching number 27 in the national charts and garnering column inches in tabloid newspapers and magazines, transforming the formerly underground beep into a global smash. Chris's DJ schedule then skyrocketed, and during the last two years, he has been to all four corners of the globe, including Asia, South America, the United States, Australia, and Africa. He has performed in some of the world's most prestigious clubs, including Ministry of Sound, Space, Warung, Spybar, and Amnesia, as well as many festivals, including Global Gathering, Creamfields, and the Extrema festival in Holland. Chris founded Rising Music in 2006 as a home for his new creations. Rising quickly became the benchmark for pure underground house - releases such as 'One Too Many,' 'Fantasy,' and 'Release' have set the standard, while Chris has also demonstrated that his A&R head is among the best in the business by signing artists such as Sebastien Leger, Micky Slim, and Deadmau5. Chris's success continued in 2007, when his single 'Carry Me Away' reached the coveted number one place on the Billboard Dance Chart in the United States, inscribing his name in dance history and rocketing his US reputation into the stratosphere. Further collaborations with Deadmau5 on 'I Thought Inside Out' and Sebastien Leger on 'Word/Ghost' in 2007 demonstrated Chris's flexibility in the studio, and with both songs reaching the Beatport Top 10, Chris cemented his position as one of the world's greatest producers. And then there's the fact that Chris has remixed some of the greatest names in the music industry. Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Mark Ronson, Lily Allen, Deadmau5 and the Rogue Traders are just a few of the artists who have gotten magnificent workouts from Chris, and the reaction has been overwhelming; not only from Radio 1, but from every major radio station in the globe. Chris has also had the opportunity to demonstrate his unrivaled talent as a DJ on Radio 1. His Essential Mix in August 2007 was another watershed moment in his career, as he delivered two hours of beautiful techno, electro, and tech house to a global audience of millions. His mix was hailed as one of the finest since the series' start, and it reminded everyone why Chris is at the top of his game. Chris's popularity has grown even further in 2008, thanks to his global DJ tours, high-quality releases, and a keen eye for the new media world via his new Podcast series, the latter of which has hit iTunes' 'new and remarkable' list for the last three months. Meanwhile, his beautiful tune 'Only One,' off his One EP, has been in the Beatport Top 5 for almost two weeks and is presently ascending the US and Australian dance charts quicker than ever. His most recent single is 'If you knew,' which Pete Tong describes as "sounds like a mix between 'Changes' and the song 'Pjanoo' never had - conventional but massive... and we haven't had a song like this in a long time." Chris shows no signs of slowing down, and with demand for his sound as high as it has ever been, you can bet his name will be on billboards for many years to come.
