In a moment of clarity while on tour, Chris Lake felt an undeniable urge to refocus his sound and career. “I ended up back in England where I lived for many years with my family, in my mother’s spare room,” he says. “It was like going back to the old me to find the new me.” Lake’s credits include several Billboard chart-toppers, a platinum record, a Grammy nomination, a successful record label, and a Midas touch for supporting emerging talent.
Enter 2017 and he’s showing no signs of slowing. He kicked off the year with a new record label called “Black Book Records”. The debut release “Operator ft. Dances With White Girls”, was the Holy Ship! anthem by the end of January and gained support from almost every house DJ – from Claude Vonstroke and Green Velvet to Disclosure and Duke Dumont. The viral lyrics became unavoidable at spring festivals. March saw OWSLA release “I Want You” with a gory mind-bending video that’s gained over 2M views. By April a compilation Chris co-curated with Skrillex was released called HOWSLA. It put an emphasis on forward thinking four to the floor records by young producers. The compilation went to #1 in the iTunes Dance Chart and was celebrated at a live-streamed release party.
Not only is Chris Lake feeling inspired, he’s overflowing with work. “I’ve got enough material to release a record every 4 weeks for the next 18 months”.

OMNOM is a DJ/Producer born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Since his forceful breakout in 2018 with the cult classic “Fo Free”, the enigmatic House head has continuously proven why he’s one of dance music’s most promising stars. Captivating audiences worldwide with an unmistakably hypnotic brand of bass-fuelled House, OMNOM has already earned himself the support of some of the scene’s heaviest-hitters including Walker & Royce, Chris Lorenzo, Dom Dolla, and John Summit. With a history of strong releases on such well-respected labels as Experts Only, Insomniac Records, Thrive, Confession, and Dirtybird, his steady rise shows no signs of slowing. Building upon an already impressive discography, his incendiary 2023 collaboration with Brisbane’s Odd Mob “Losing Control” quickly claimed the #1 spot on Beatport’s Overall Top 100 and debuted on the Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic chart. With even more head-turning releases on the way, it’s only a matter of time before OMNOM becomes a household name.
