Bringing summer to a close with a final scorcher of the season, award-winning producer Chris Lake teams up with iconic house pioneer Green Velvet on “Deceiver.” The latest release off Lake’s inaugural label, Black Book Records, “Deceiver” is a dark, house-infused blend of the duo’s signature sounds. Featuring deep, pulsating bass lines bouncing alongside jutting, jagged synths, “Deceiver” is a sharp and seductive single that will keep audiences moving.
Across Chris Lake's ongoing list of accomplishments, one will find countless Billboard chart-toppers, a platinum record, a Grammy nomination, and a Midas touch for tapping into rising talent. Realizing his vision and turning his attention towards the development of his premier record label, Chris launched Black Book Records in 2017. Best known for his funk-infused club smashes, Chris' debut release “Operator” on Black Book slated itself as the go-to dance floor anthem at the top of the year, gaining support from Claude VonStroke, Disclosure, Green Velvet, Duke Dumont and more. Closing out the main stage at EDC Las Vegas this past spring, Chris Lake announced his latest project Anti Up with Chris Lorenzo, debuting their first performance to the festival's sold-out crowd and releasing the single "Pizza" under the moniker this summer. Following a bevy of collaborative singles with Walker & Royce, DESTRUCTO and more, in addition to noted festival performances at Lollapalooza, Splash House, Bonnaroo, Electric Forest and All My Friends Festival, Chris is currently on the road for his multi-date North American run on The Black Book Experience Tour.
A music industry legend and trailblazer in the House and Techno space, Chicago-born Green Velvet has built his status as one of electronic music’s most respected names throughout his 25 year career span. Releasing a string of notable singles including “Bigger Than Prince,” “Flash,” “La La Land,” “Shake and Pop,” and “Lazer Beams,” even today it is difficult to step foot on any festival grounds without hearing the producer’s signature sound. With a resume boasting countless record releases and collaborations with Carl Craig, Detlef, Eats Everything, Patrick Topping, Riva Starr, Shiba San and more, Green Velvet also serves as one half of acclaimed duo GET REAL alongside Dirtybird Records founder Claude VonStroke. Earning DJ Mag’s #1 DJ in North America slot in 2017, this year Green Velvet only continued to break records, with his imprint Relief Records gaining the #1 Label position on the Beatport Top 100, and his LA LA LAND Stage series launching worldwide.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Chris Lake & Green Velvet work together for Deceiver. If you like your house dark and techy then you will enjoy the stomping bassline, the raw grooves and metallic drums, distorted synthy lines and very clever short spoken vocal sample that will remain in your head for days after you will dance along with it in your local disco! It is dark and underground but with that special touch to make it the surprising techno tune that maybe will crossover to mainstream audiences. Classy production that adds credibility and musicality to any DJ set. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
