n a moment of clarity while on tour, Chris Lake felt an undeniable urge to refocus his sound and career. “I ended up back in England where I lived for many years with my family, in my mother’s spare room,” he says. “It was like going back to the old me to find the new me.” He then unleashed a stream of funky, ebullient, and majestic club smashes, including “Chest”, “Stranger”, “Piano Hand” with Chris Lorenzo, “Stomper” with Anna Lunoe, plus celebrated remixes of SNBRN’s “California”, JessGynne’s UK chart-topper ”Hold My Hand”, and of course Calvin Harris & Disciples’ “How Deep Is Your Love”. Among Lake’s credits are several Billboard chart-toppers, a platinum record, a Grammy nomination, and a Midas touch for supporting emerging talent. Chris Lake fully realized his vision in 2017 when he launched his new record label “Black Book Records”. The debut release “Operator ft. Dances With White Girls”, was the Holy Ship! 9.0 anthem by the end of January and gained support from almost every house DJ - from Claude Vonstroke and Green Velvet to Disclosure and Duke Dumont. March saw his OWSLA release “I Want You” with a gory mind-bending video that’s gained over 3M views and a compilation Chris co-curated with Skrillex called HOWSLA. The compilation went to #1 in the iTunes Dance Chart and was celebrated at a live-streamed release party. He’s showing no signs of slowing, touring North America on the 21 stop “Lose My Mind” tour last fall, selling out clubs such as the El Rey in Los Angeles, Coda in Toronto, and 1015 Folsom in San Francisco. Enter 2018, and you can find Chris on renowned stages across the festival circuit that includes Bonnaroo, HOLY SHIP, Electric Forest. Not only is Chris Lake feeling inspired, he’s overflowing with work. “I’ve got enough material to release a record every 4 weeks for the next 18 months. What drives me forward is innovation and I want to keep pushing my own boundaries. I am as excited as anyone to imagine what I’ll create next.”  

Welcome to the era of Dateless!  Nothing less than a rhythm junkie, this hopeless romantic’s productions most notably feature groovy Latin percussion sections accompanied by irresistibly funky basslines. With an ability to hear extremely precise rhythm, Dateless separates himself from countless artists with his ability to intentionally create imperfect grooves. These subtle imperfections create the illusion that his music is being played by live instrumentalists, an element that does not go unnoticed by devout fans and artists alike.  On stage he has an infectious energy that exudes passion and flair. His overly confident manner enables him to be in complete control of the crowd, comparable to that of a conductor guiding the musical performance of his orchestra. Ultimately his immense passion for music and extreme desire to be placed on the main stages of the biggest festivals results in timeless dance music that is sure to be heard around the world. Keep an eye and ear on this space because Dateless music is destined to echo in eternity.  

Music over everything. That's the motto that has brought this 27 year old producer's music to worlds largest stages. Having produced for 8 years, 2017 was his breakout moment. Lucati has gained the respect from the underground and the legends that sit at the top of the game. Artists such as Claude VonStroke, Shiba San, Tchami, Malaa, and Mark Knight have all played or released this young and handsome producers' music. On January 1st, 2018 he debuted his Whistling Duck EP on the mighty DIRTYBIRD label to rave reviews. Mixing groovy, with casual, with sexy, Lucati's unique sound emerges amongst the new wave of House producers. Refusing to impersonate his idols, but instead taking inspiration, Lucati aims for something different and unheard of. Ramping up in 2018 with a solid release schedule and upcoming shows, the sky's the limit for this old dog.
