Tech House

Born in Norwich, England, and based in Los Angeles, California, Chris Lake is a veteran producer and DJ who has been a central figure in the global house music scene for over two decades. He first gained widespread recognition with his 2006 vocal house track "Changes" and has since built a catalog of high-energy tech house anthems. In 2017, Lake founded Black Book Records, launching the imprint with the festival staple "Operator (Ring Ring)" and using the platform to release his own work alongside emerging talent. His discography includes notable collaborations such as the Grammy-nominated "Galvanize" remix with The Chemical Brothers, "A Drug From God" with Grimes' NPC project, and "Summertime Blues" with Sammy Virji. A regular fixture at major events like Coachella and Electric Daisy Carnival, he also co-headlines the popular Under Construction event series with Fisher. Lake's sound is defined by forward-thinking, four-on-the-floor grooves, punchy basslines, and infectious vocal hooks that consistently resonate across both underground clubs and main stages.

OMNOM

(1)

Tech House

OMNOM is one of those house producers whose tracks feel immediately built to do damage, but there is enough weirdness and personality in them to keep them from sounding like generic festival tech house. The Los Angeles producer broke through with “Fo Free” and has built his name on a hypnotic, bass-fueled style that sits between house, tech house, and more experimental club pressure, often with chunky low end, off-kilter vocals, and a slightly unhinged energy that makes the records pop in a room. What makes him stand out is that even when the tracks are blunt and highly functional, they still feel playful and a little left of center rather than overly polished or interchangeable. He fits into that newer West Coast house wave, but with more edge and oddball character than a lot of artists in the same lane, which is why he has become such a favorite with DJs and bigger party crowds alike.

Stixx

House

Stixx is a New York based DJ and producer working in groove-driven house and minimal tech. Her sound leans on rolling low-end, crisp percussion, and atmospheric tension, with nods to 1990s dance music and heavy influence from UK and European dancefloors. She has played rooms including the Brooklyn Mirage, Under the K Bridge, Brooklyn Storehouse, and SILO in Brooklyn, plus Zey Zey in Miami and Spybar in Chicago. Along the way she has opened for Chris Lake, Kolter, Locklead, Cloonee, AYYBO, and Swedish House Mafia, including a closing set at the Brooklyn Mirage on a Swedish House Mafia bill. A regular on Brooklyn's club circuit, she is one of the city's steadily emerging house and minimal names.
