Chris Lake

For Chris Lake, making people dance is more than a career: it’s an obsession. Over nearly 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 make big moments both onstage and in his music. Recent singles such as “Summertime Blues,” his brisk but breezy collaboration with Sammy Virji, and his songs with Aluna – the smoldering “Beggin’” and hypnotic “More Baby” – have yielded appearances on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. Expertly occupying the middle ground between dance music’s underground and commercial realms, the British producer’s finely-tuned ear for club-forward basslines and catchy vocals plays a large role in his success. Ultimately, it’s the result of following his creative instincts. “I guess I primarily make stuff for me and what feels good for me,” he says, “but I try to give it my flair without taking it too seriously. I’m not scared of a song, I’m not scared of a melody, and I’m not scared of a moment. I just try to have fun with this stuff.” 

In the midst of an ongoing tour, Lake pauses to think about what keeps him going almost twenty years on. Perhaps more than making people dance, his specialty is leaving dance music’s people and culture better than before he found it. “It gives me this increased love of the power of a single song and the effect that it can have on anyone’s life,” he finally replies. “I love the idea that I have this blessing to make a song and give one or more people that feeling. It’s just amazing, and I feel like as the years go on, I get better and better at doing it.” 

TOBEHONEST

US-based DJ and producer TOBEHONEST has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting names in the new wave of tech house, carving out a distinct identity that bridges underground credibility with global dancefloor appeal. Blending indie dance with hard-hitting tech house, he delivers a sound that feels entirely his own, pairing groove-driven percussion and unexpected synthetic textures with hip-hop-inspired vocals, channeling the edge of rap culture into the club and keeping listeners locked-in.

With a growing catalogue of releases on respected imprints such as Insomniac Records, Black Book Records, and Club Sweat among others, his output continues to gain traction across global dancefloors, cementing his reputation as a forward-thinking artist with both versatility and intent.

“Dance is a holistic experience; a moment where sound, movement, and connection come together. That’s what I seek to share with everyone.”
