Chris Lake – I Remember [Black Book]

Pioneering house artist Chris Lake returns with a new single “I Remember” released today by Black Book Records/Astralwerks. Incendiary and soulful, the track includes a reimagining of the indelible vocal line from the Ralphi Rosario-penned 1987 house classic “You Used to Hold Me.”

“I Remember” is the GRAMMY®-nominated, chart-topping producer’s first release since signing to Astralwerks, which is also the new home of Lake’s own Black Book Records. Lake’s deal with Astralwerks, BillboardDance observed, “Lake’s catalog – with hits including ‘Operator (Ring Ring)’ ‘I Want You’ ‘Deceiver’ and ‘Stay With Me’ – neatly embodies the tech-house-oriented ‘underground’ sound that has replaced EDM as the genre of choice among Stateside dance fans.”

The English-born, Los Angeles-based artist launched Black Book Records in 2016. Its first release, Lake’s  “Operator ft. Dances With White Girls,” earned support from nearly every house DJ –  from Claude Vonstroke and Green Velvet to Disclosure and Duke Dumont. In spring 2017, Black Book released  HOWSLA,  a collection that highlighted forward-thinking, four-to-the-floor records by young producers that Lake co-curated with Skrillex. The compilation, which included Lake’s “I Want You,” went to #1 on the iTunes Dance Chart.

In addition to his originals, Lake has a string of acclaimed remixes to his credit, including Calvin Harris & Disciple’s “How Deep is Your Love,” Missy Elliot’s “WTF (Where They From)” and MK’s “Body 2 Body.” He also collaborated on Deadmau5’s4x4=12, which received a GRAMMY nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album.
