CHRIS LAKE returns in The Lab LA
Look at them go: the tech-house bros in bucket hats doing the finger-gun dance like it is an Olympic sport. LA crowds love to pretend they are at an underground warehouse rave, even when they are sipping £15 green juices and checking their Instagram metrics mid-drop. Still, you cannot deny the sheer, unadulterated madness of the room when the bass finally kicks in. The golden hour light bleeds into The Lab LA, setting a sticky, electric vibe that perfectly matches the incoming onslaught.
Diving into the technicals, this CHRIS LAKE live set locks into a ruthless, flat 125.0 BPM, dominating the 12A key to keep the Rominimal and tech-house grooves aggressively tight. The mixing is sharp, punchy, and utterly relentless, designed to keep the energy peaking constantly. If you are hunting for the CHRIS LAKE The Lab LA tracklist, it is packed with heavy hitters and cheeky secret weapons. Dropping Yaeji's 'Raingurl' alongside FISHER's ubiquitous 'Losing It' guarantees absolute chaos on the floor, while the ARTBAT remix of Monolink's 'Return to Oz' adds a touch of melodic class.
The sonic journey launches with the opening track 'Directions' by BETON, peaks wildly during Dosem & Prok & Fitch's 'Doors', and finally bows out with the closing track 'Brain Storming' by Kemal Vatansever & Yigitoglu. Sorted.
