(Capitol) Chris Lake and acclaimed singer-songwriter Aluna team up on the irresistible new single "Beggin,'" released today via Black Book Records/Astralwerks. With her playful yet seductive vocals, Aluna promises, "I'll get you beggin beggin" and Lake's breezy production matches her mischievous tone, punctuating a steady beat with bright aural surprises.
Lake and Aluna co-wrote "Beggin'" and recorded it at his Black Book Studios. "'Beggin' is a tale of caution," explains Chris Lake. "Sometimes you want someone so badly, but when you get them you wish you'd never set eyes on them...a bit like me. I'm a lot," adds Aluna, who will embark on a UK/European headline tour on April 22. She'll also be playing North American festivals this year such as Breakaway North Carolina, Hangout and Sundown Solstice.
Lake will perform at Coachella this Sunday, April 23. His return to the festival follows the release of "In The Yuma" (Ft. Aatig). The single was praised by Billboard, which noted, "'In The Yuma' is a beautiful bit of rhythmic meditation, where the modern tech house icon successfully channeled the energy of his Coachella 2019 performance (in the festival's Yuma tent, get it?) and recreated that sweaty, funky get-down into a lively tune that fits on futuristic dance floors around the world." Dancing Astronaut said, "Pushing the envelope for the tech-house genre once more, 'In The Yuma' is another example of a Chris Lake original that sounds stands so far apart from the rest of house music." Lake, together with Black Book Records, will take over two stages at Brooklyn Mirage on May 5 and 6 - the venue's 2023 opening weekend. He'll also be performing at numerous summer festivals.
