Chris Lake

About

For Chris Lake, making people dance isn’t just a job: it’s an obsession. Over nearly two decades, the GRAMMY®-nominated DJ, producer, and label head has become one of house music’s most influential figures. Known for his seamless blend of underground edge and mainstream appeal, Lake has scored hits like “Beggin’,” “More Baby,” and “Summertime Blues.” After moving from the UK to Los Angeles, he followed his instincts and reignited his passion for house music with “Operator (Ring Ring),” which became an anthem and marked a new era in his career. His explosive collaborations with FISHER, including their Under Construction shows, have brought tech house to massive audiences worldwide. Beyond performing, Lake founded Black Book Records, a label that champions both icons and rising talents like Cloonee and Mochakk. Through events like Black Book On The Pier, he continues to shape dance music’s future with authenticity and heart. As Lake puts it, “I just try to have fun with it. I love that one song can change someone’s life and I feel like I’m only getting better at making that happen.”
