Going to club nights regularly, I’ve seen a lot of DJs perform live, and usually take their sets for granted, as a lot of their music is pre-recorded and regurgitated for the audience. However, seeing Chris Lake perform was an entirely different experience, as he played the majority of his tracks live, using sample pads, electronic instruments, and mixing right on the spot. The Scottish DJ opened his set with an improvised electro house track, which immediately indicated how incredible his set was going to be.
He played a really great selection of original tracks, and remixes, keeping the audience on their toes, as we never knew what to expect. Of course he played Changes, which went down amazingly, and Lake was shouting out for everyone to join in and sing and dance along, which of course we were doing already!
Watching Lake play his mini keyboard through his laptop into Logic Pro was incredible, as there was no margin for error, and he nailed it each time. As well as being a great musician, he was a charismatic performer, who was clearly completely dedicated to his music, dancing along to every track with the crowd.
