Listen to Chris Lorenzo and COBRAH’s Sultry Tech House Banger, “Mami”

It’s no secret that tech house is having a moment, and one of the genre’s leading producers today unveiled one of its most hotly anticipated tracks. Long revered as one of the most gifted sound designers in house music, Chris Lorenzo has dropped “Mami,” a sultry house bomb that has been running roughshod in his live sets this year, including EDC Las Vegas and Lollapalooza. The track features a seductive COBRAH, whose come-hither topline is akin to cognac and satin sheets. Lorenzo says he knew he had an instant hit on his hands when he first heard COBRAH’s lead “Mami” lyric, an unapologetic ode to hedonism. Combined with his signature, thick basslines and an ingenious steel drum pattern, it lends to a bona fide club banger. “I had been listeni...

EDM.com Presents: The House Brew, Vol. 4

“Bocat” – Guy Gerber ft. Albertina Though Guy Gerber has been quiet on the release front in 2021, he’s ending the year with the smashing Bocat EP. The titular track crafts intoxicating energy through deep, sustained keys, fierce guitar licks, and electric vocals by Albertina. “I Don’t Wanna Leave” (Innellea remix) – RÜFÜS DU SOL Another month, another dynamite remix from Innellea. Following his remix of Monolink’s “Under Dark,” Innellea brings his magic touch to RÜFÜS DU SOL’s soulful “I Don’t Wanna Leave.” Though some of the wistfulness of the original is intact, the energy is raised to the roof with rumbling bass and a menacing lead. “California Dreamin’” (Vintage Culture remix) – Chris Lorenzo “Chris Lorenzo’s new track ‘California Dreamin’’ is on fir...

Listen to Vintage Culture’s Spin On Chris Lorenzo’s “California Dreamin'” Rework

Brazilian DJ and house music producer Vintage Culture has put his own unique spin on Chris Lorenzo’s “California Dreamin’” (with High Jinx). The original track, which samples The Mamas & The Papas’ 1965 hit of the same name, takes a tech house dive. Vintage Culture opted to amplify the shifting dynamics of Lorenzo’s version by building to exhilarating crescendos and bringing deep, dark effects to the infectious dance floor gem. Equally eerie and hypnotic, the dance music star’s spin, out now via Black Book Records and Astralwerks, amplifies Lorenzo’s direction by adding a sinister tech flair.

Anti Up Release Eccentric Banger, “Something’s About to go down”

Following a string of releases earlier this year, house music duo Anti Up are blasting off with their third single of 2021. The duo—comprising Chris Lake and Chris Lorenzo—have concocted a modish, out-of-this-world banger with “Something’s About to go down.” Immediately after pressing play, the track hurls you into the cosmos accompanied by the familiar four-on-the-floor opener. A voice mysteriously distorts as it warns you “something’s about to go down,” followed by the funkiest, alien-robot beats found anywhere outside this earth. The remaining three minutes are an acid trip-esque production of eccentric sounds and quirky synths. The concoction comes to a dramatic climax as the bionic, extraterrestrial drop descends upon earth ready to wreak havoc...

Chris Lake and Chris Lorenzo Return as Anti Up With “Sensational” New Single

It’s been far too long since fans have heard a new single from the beloved Anti Up duo. Comprised of Chris Lake and Chris Lorenzo, Anti Up, perhaps best known for their global club hit “Pizza,” hadn’t released a new track since 2019—but that dry spell ends now.  Enter “Sensational,” Anti Up’s new single, released today via Big Beat Records. For those who saw Anti Up on tour in 2019, the track will sound familiar. It was a wildly popular ID at the time, like when they dropped it at HARD Summer. Much like the rest of Anti Up’s catalog, the disco-inspired “Sensational” is the type of track that takes command of a crowd from the get-go. Its breakbeat flavors are akin to 90s disco, and it has an infectious hook that renders i...

TRY HARDs Gaming Series Launches on Insomniac TV with Wax Motif, Chris Lorenzo, Cheat Codes, More

2020 was the year gaming and dance music came together more than ever before.

To further link these two worlds, HARD Events has launched its new streaming program, TRY HARDs on Insomniac TV via Twitch.  TRY HARDs will pit professional gamers against some of your favorite DJs each week. Beginning February 15th, you can watch them smack talk each other as they compete for bragging rights in their favorite games.
