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!
