Chris Lake Channels Pure Escapist Energy in Stunning House Track, "Savana": Listen

Chris Lake has dropped a new single, "Savana," a track that elevates his signature house sound into something that feels like medicine for the chronically overworked.

With a heady house beat and dopamine-fueled vocals, "Savana" is a sonic passport to somewhere the Wi-Fi doesn't reach and your boss can't find you. Its escapist mantra ("a little less stress, a little more go harder") taps into house music's fundamental principle: that sometimes the best way forward is to surrender and get completely lost first.

Meanwhile, Lake's production wizardry shines in the track's textured drops, weaving together his trademark basslines with sublime synths that shimmer like heat mirages. He understands that sometimes the most profound escape isn't geographic, but rhythmic.

"Savana" had operated as a fan-favorite drop in Lake's DJ sets prior to today's release on streaming platforms through his own label, Black Book Records. It appeared in his groundbreaking performance at Coachella, where on Thursday, April 10th, he became the first artist to deliver a set within the iconic festival's campgrounds.

"Savana" is the third single to release from the house music virtuoso's long-awaited debut album, Chemistry. Due out July 11th, the project marks his "most expansive body of work to date," according to a press release.

"'Savana' works in multiple situations, it's the kind of track that hits at a festival but you wouldn’t mind hearing it on the radio either," Lake explained. "I love when I can balance on that edge between what makes people move on the dancefloor and what resonates in a more casual setting. It’s been fun to test the song in my set, and I have a feeling it's only going to become more prominent."
