Continuing a current trend in his eclectic production style as of late, Chris Lake is wielding the sword pulled from the stone of 90’s Chicago and Detroit house music with no signs of fatigue. After this past November’s stellar remix of Chris Isaak’s Wicked Games which was co-produced with Hannah Wants’ main collaborator, Chris Lorenzo, Lake is coming in hot with Chest which will debut on Ultra in February.
Chest is a wolf in sheep’s clothing: starting with an all too familiar 4/4 house beat and a minimalist bassline that will undoubtedly make subwoofers happy for days, Lake takes us down into a rabbit hole as the song begins to rev up with a series of resonating clicks and flanging, sawing synths while the beat continues to keep the listener in a state of hypnosis. The track also features some creative use of vocal sampling reminiscent of the mammoth level track, Boneless, that Lake co-produced with Steve Aoki and Tujamo in 2013. With that said, while the track won’t see a full release until February 6, the preview released today displays all the makings of a certified festival anthem which will be released just in time for Ultra Music Festival and the Miami Winter Music Conference. So keep the date open on your calendars: this track could very well be a whopper in 2015.
Listen to the preview after the jump.
