Chris Lake has done it again, taking the music world by storm last week with his latest remix of The Chemical Brothers‘ groove-infused track, “No Reason.” Released by EMI / Virgin Records, this remix follows the success of two other official “No Reason” remixes by Ewan McVicar and O’Flynn. The original track, a highlight of The Chemical Brothers’ recent album For That Beautiful Feeling, now receives the Chris Lake treatment, promising a new level of dance floor euphoria.
For those unfamiliar with Lake’s remix repertoire, a glance at his versions of “Dummy” by Portugal. The Man and “Who Are You?” by Maine will set high expectations. And true to form, Chris Lake delivers spectacularly, harnessing the infectious bassline of “No Reason” and elevating it with his signature style.
Lake’s expertise shines in building immense anticipation before each drop. The track benefits from three distinct yet flawlessly executed pre-drop builds, each leading into a uniquely funky kick and bass combo. These elements maintain thematic cohesion with the original while injecting a fresh, exhilarating energy. The first and last drops are particularly noteworthy, where the bass seamlessly glides into purely ecstatic moments.
Chris Lake will be on a bit of a hiatus, with no scheduled dates until the Ultra Music Festival in March. To keep up with all the latest news from Chris Lake, connect through his social links below.
