Chris Lake

For Chris Lake, making people dance is more than a career: It’s an obsession. Over two decades, the GRAMMY®-nominated artist has become one of house music’s most compelling figures. In that time he’s lived many lives as a producer, DJ, and label head, all connected by his ability to create big moments both onstage and in his music. Since breaking through with a string of No. 1 singles in the late 2000s, Chris has helped redefine America’s house music scene in the post-EDM age. His music is a regular fixture on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, including hits like “Summertime Blues,” “Beggin’,” and “More Baby.” He has headlined EDC Las Vegas and Coachella stages, shut down Hollywood Boulevard for over 12,000 fans, and spread the dance floor gospel through his Under Construction events with FISHER. Alongside DJing and producing, Chris is the founder of the distinguished Black Book Records, which has given birth to a new generation of talent, including but not limited to Cloonee, Miane, and Mochakk. The label’s reach is also expanding through events like Black Book On The Pier and an exclusive MNTGE fashion collaboration. Perhaps more than simply making people dance, Chris hopes to leave dance music’s people and culture better than he found it.
