Chris Lake is a Scottish DJ and record producer who has become one of the most influential figures in the global house and tech house music scene. Born in Paisley, Scotland, Lake developed a passion for electronic music at a young age, influenced by the vibrant UK dance music culture of the 1990s. He began producing music in his teens and quickly caught the attention of major labels with his unique blend of house, electro, and tech sounds.

His Black Book Records label, founded in 2016, became one of the most respected imprints in the scene. Tracks like “Turn Off the Lights” (featuring Alexis Roberts) and “I Want You” became festival anthems and racked up hundreds of millions of streams on Spotify and other platforms. His residency at major Las Vegas venues and regular appearances at festivals like EDC, Ultra, and Coachella cemented his status as a headliner.

Lake relocated to Los Angeles and became a central figure in the American dance music scene. His live sets are renowned for their energy and technical precision, and he has been credited with helping bring tech house into the mainstream consciousness in North America. He continues to be one of the most in-demand DJs globally, commanding top billing at major festivals and nightclubs around the world.
