Chris Lake’s Iconic 2025: Chemistry Defines a New Era

WED, DEC 24, 2025

2025 has been nothing short of a landmark year for Chris Lake — the kind of career chapter artists look back on decades later as a turning point. And honestly, it’s been iconic to watch unfold.

This summer, Chris hit one of the biggest milestones of his career with the release of his debut album, Chemistry (July 11 via Black Book Records). Even for an artist with a catalog as stacked as his, Chemistry marked a new level. Released independently through his own label, the project exploded across major global charts and instantly became a defining moment in his discography. It’s his most ambitious work to date, built on a foundation of collaboration, experimentation, and the signature Chris Lake energy fans have followed for years.

But the album was just the beginning.

As he’s taken the Chemistry Album Tour around the world, Chris has stacked highlight after highlight — each one reinforcing why this has been such a monumental year. His collaborative streak hit new heights, too, teaming up with heavyweights like Skrillex, Disclosure, and Sammy Virji, each partnership adding a new texture to the Chemistry era.

Then came one of the biggest nods an electronic artist can get: a GRAMMY nomination for his official remix of “Galvanize” by The Chemical Brothers. A full-circle moment that felt symbolic for a producer who’s spent years shaping the sound of modern house music.

With all this momentum, it’s clear the Chemistry chapter isn’t just another album cycle; it’s the beginning of Chris Lake’s next era and the future of house music itself. And — if you want to witness it all in person — Chris Lake is bringing the Chemistry Tour to Albuquerque and Phoenix this week:

Albuquerque, NM — December 11 at Revel Entertainment Center
Phoenix/Chandler, AZ — December 13 at Rawhide Event Center
