The renowned British producer and DJ of electronic dance music, Chris Lake, rose to prominence in 2006 with the smash tune “Changes,” featuring Laura V. Since then, he has forever altered the music landscape.
As Cristophe D’Abuc in 2002, Lake made bootleg remixes of classic songs such the Prodigy’s “Climbatize,” Leftfield’s “Phat Planet,” and the Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams,” which marked the beginning of his musical career. Soon after his skill became apparent, the song “Changes” was released in 2006 and ascended the UK Singles Chart before peaking at number 10 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Airplay chart.
Continuing his success, Lake’s 2007 single “Carry Me Away” featuring Emma Hewitt topped the Billboard Hot Dance Airplay chart, further solidifying his position in the electronic music scene. He received his first Grammy nomination in 2012 for collaborating with deadmau5 on the album “4×4=12,” marking a significant milestone in his career.
In 2015, Lake embarked on a new direction, releasing tracks on Ultra Records that showcased his evolving sound and production style.
