Chris Lake – Ohh Shhh EP

Ohh Shhh

Chris Lake’s always been quite capable at pumping out hot house tracks with smooth, danceable beats, but lately he’s had a thing for progressive and electro stylings. His newest release “Ohh Shhh”, put out by the famous Ultra label, sees that experimentation come to fruition; “Ohh Shhh” combines Lake’s talent with deep, groovy beats with epic progressive house build ups and sharp electro synths. The final product of all those influences sounds real fresh and is definitely worth a listen. Check it out below and grab the release off of Beatport!

Lazy Rich – Insomnia EP

Lazy Rich - Techi

The British Electro House monster, Lazy Rich, has been pioneering and leading the genre since 2004. His signature Complextro sound has matured and has garnered critical acclaim over the years which is apparent in his latest single, “Insomnia,” coming off of Chris Lake’s red hot Rising Music Records. “Insomnia” is an incredibly beautiful vocal track, featuring the vocals of Chris Lake’s wife Gita Lake. Gorgeous grand piano chords are interwoven between Mrs. Lake’s lovely vocals and Lazy Rich’s wonderfully mastered drum beats. Then, just as the build up is about to reach it’s peak, Lazy Rich throws another surprise at us with a catchy, funky, and incredibly danceable electro bass drop rather then a gritty, electro banger of a drop that we’ve become accustomed to hearing from him. Then, the legend himself, John Dahlback adds his own musical genius to the song turning the beauty of Lazy Rich’s rendition into a darker, harder hitting progressive house version. Both tracks are fantastic in their own way, so take a listen to them both below and let us know which one you like better!

Chris Lake and Michael Woods – Black Thong (Original Mix)

Add in a killer beat, pump it full of anticipation, and then wait for the massive drop. “Black Thong” is now available through Beatport, don’t miss out on this one!

Chris Lake & Michael Woods – Black Thong

The way “Black Thong” starts, one would think “Shit, another progressive house song.” That’s not saying that the opening chords are any less beautiful than other progressive songs, but I think it’s safe to say listeners want a little something more. BOOM. Chris Lake & Michael Woods delivered. The build up gives you subtle clues to suggest that the song is heading in different direction, which is what makes the track that much better. The house riff this duo adds completely changes the feel of this song, and it will definitely be the banger of upcoming shows.

The first track, “Panic”, is quite the epic electro house banger, with a long synth led breakdown that leads you into a crazy drop that will get any crowd grown. “What’s Up Now” has a little different feel to it, sounding simliar to “Zeus”, yet still unique by keeping the energy high.

Electric Daisy Carnival 2012 Las Vegas: Official Recap


Simply put, this weekend was UNREAL. It began Thursday morning with a five-hour excursion from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, stopping only once for our precious In-N-Out. After finally touching down at our suite at the Mandalay Bay, we made it down the strip to the Hardrock Hotel to meet up with the rest of the Techi Team. What then ensued could only be described as a night of complete debauchery, leading into the next morning ready to head back to Mandalay Bay, where our good friends Gregory Sills and Peter Sims, together known as Fista Cuffs, played the topless pool party. Now that the darkness was approaching, it was time to call the limo and make our way to the main event – the one and only Electric Daisy Carnival, Las Vegas. Continue on for a day by day recap of everything that went down at the Motorspeedway on this legendary weekend…
