Los Angeles, you never disappoint! ❤️

Due to insane demand, I've added another LA State Historic Park date on June 20th. These will be my ONLY LA shows of the year

Presale is live now with code ILOVELA

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

My concert, to be exact ;)

How much do the Knicks mean to New York?

They’re putting on the Finals in the middle of concerts

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

@badgalrayra Yup

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

Great article. Spot on, and honestly, it's another reminder that us artists who have been around for a while and who have a platform are best placed to nurture future talent with guidance and support as much as possible. Thank you for writing this.

Make sure you suck all the air out of the room before I go on please 😂

Excited to hear your set!

[salute @saluteAUT]

just woke up from a week long coma! opening for @chrislake tonight in san francisco. i wonder whether there are any useful tips on twitter dot com about opener etiquette, about to have a look. sure i will find people being normal about it 🙏🏾

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

@woolimusic It exists. It's also very, VERY shit

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

I think there's more nuance to this conversation that needs to be taken into account.

I just checked your music and it's v high energy stuff. I wouldn't imagine there's 2 many artists that could energetically nerf your night. It's not like that for all styles of music tho

[Levity ☁️ @LevityMusic]

Openers should present themselves the way they want & play what they want

Headliners should know what they’re booking & support the next generation’s.

Those headliners were once openers & they didn’t become headliners by nerfing their sets

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

but in an ideal world, yes, I'd prefer the energy of the music before me, to allow me to lift it higher if I'm headlining. That leads to the best nights in my experience.

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

For me personally, I accepted years ago that I can't expect acts to do that, so I always tell people to do their normal thing and I just adjust accordingly. I usually have a short pause in music before I start that helps reset the mood too.

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

Absolutely phenomenal. Congratulations Sebastian Sawe.

[Larry Madowo @LarryMadowo]

BREAKING VIDEO: Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe becomes the first person ever to win a regular marathon in under two hours, setting a new world record at the London Marathon in 1:59:30!

Kenyans invented running™

@ifight4justice7 Because there’s enough technology and information on screen to be able to do it pretty well without them.

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

There are many different ways this can be done. I have custom visuals and lighting, but it's all triggered live. I try give a bunch of the music I might play to my VJ and LD ahead of time so they can get to know it, but that's it. If they don't know it, they just riff stuff.

[salute @saluteAUT]

the technology is called timecoding. you hit play on a song on the CDJ, the software recognises it + triggers the corresponding visual. this obviously takes a lot of programming in advance but pre-recording has nothing to do with it. let's stick to talking to things we know about

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

I do normally tell them what track I'm starting with though. But that often changes. Sometimes minutes before I go on (this happened just a few weeks ago in Nashville actually).

Anyway. Just saying it doesn't even have to be timecoded anymore to look good.

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

I love it this way. I get to stick to DJing based on my vibe and how I read the crowd. I don't get bogged down in needing to play my show a certain way and it keeps it interesting for my crew too.

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

@GODISADJ25 @mareel_jaster @GroovyDegen I don't think I've ever said that.

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

@KitchenerLogan @dudesinthebooth Yeah, people were having a terrible time. He sucks.

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

@_Rossidj Welcome!

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

@TheDFreshmaker @trinodj and for this one, I don't even know what the deal was. I didn't ask. I don't care. I got asked and I liked the challenge.

[Chris Lake @chrislake]

@TheDFreshmaker @trinodj You're misunderstanding the DM. I'd already been asked by them via management and I reached out to Travis. Read the messages again.

Also, 'the bag' is another assumption. $ was never a part of the equation and not my driving force. I do loads of remixes for nothing.
