Globally recognized as one of the most talented young producers and DJs to
come out of the scene in recent years, Chris Lake has made the DJ elite sit
up and take notice. His innovative productions backed by the likes of
Sasha, Kleinenberg and Fanciulli, in addition to his dynamic and energetic
DJ performances, have given Chris a major platform on which to proclaim his
undoubted talents.
2005 was a landmark year for Chris. His collaborations with Rhythm Code
under various guises including Ramsay and LAB music and remixes of artists
such as Delacy, Stretch and Vern and Quivver received critical acclaim from
both journalists and clubbers alike. However it was his solo productions
which provided Lake mass exposure. His 'One Too Many' production got
tongues wagging and received two radio plays from Pete Tong, but it was his
hit smash 'Changes' that catapulted his name into the record boxes of DJs
across the globe.
Tong made the record Essential New Tune in December 2005 and was quick to
proclaim Chris as the 'best thing to come from Scotland since Mylo.' He has
now broadcast the production eight times with this number going up on a
weekly basis. 'Changes' has also received airtime on Radio1 courtesy of
Zane Lowe, Annie Mac and the Trophy Twins and is now licensed to Universal
(Apollo) for worldwide release.
In 2006 Lake has setup Rising Music to release his own material. Rising 001
& 002 have already been immense underground hits, with Rising 001 staying
in the Top 3 of DJ Downloads chart for a month. And with Rising 003 titled
'Release' and remixes of Stretch and Vern 'Guttersnipe' (Monotype), Rene
Amesz 'Fragile' (LMR), Onionz 'Burnin' (CR2) and his incredible rework of
Lifelike and Kris Menace 'Discopolis' (Defected) set to follow, its quite
obvious that 2006 looms large for Chris Lake.
