SHARAM BIO:

“There’s a presence about Sharam that comes through in his music as well as his shows. Like any great relationship, you leave his show feeling as if you’re a better person… the Sharam experience.” - PLAYBACK:stl

One of only few dance acts who can effortlessly navigate between the nocturnal world of dance music with underground gems like “Crazi”, “Texi” and "Don't Say A Word" while scoring Top 20 Hits internationally with “PATT (Party All The Time)”, “The One” feat. Daniel Bedingfield, and “She Came Along” with Kid Cudi. His desire to not ever be confined and pigeon holed into one genre of music has enabled him to constantly evolve and surprise people with his productions.

And the head turning has continued this year with his Mach EP releases which include "M.I.T.T.", an underground favorite featuring a powerful vocal hook from Shakira, and “Fun” a song written by Chris Martin of Coldplay. His latest effort "God Always", a dub-step influenced house track was hailed as one of the runaway surprise records from the Miami Music Conference.

The Grammy Award winning producer’s DJ sets follow the diversity of his productions skills. On one side he rocks a marathon underground set like his legendary 10 hour stint at Warung Beach Club in Brazil to a sold out crowd of 4000 (2 hours of Sharam’s seminal live set was featured on his 2011 Essential Mix on BBC’s Radio 1), and on the other side he can effortlessly entertain a diverse crowd of younger dance enthusiasts and VIPs in Vegas, Miami and Ibiza with a penchant for quality music that’s engaging and entertaining, without compromising his art as a forward thinking DJ/Producer.

Already beyond well known for his role as part of the legendary DJ duo Deep Dish which brought the world huge hits like "Flashdance" and "Say Hello", he is also the driving force behind the legendary Yoshitoshi record label using it as a vehicle to promote newly discovered talent from around the world.

None of this would matter unless Sharam’s music connected with people which it clearly does year after year in the world’s largest music venues and radio stations around the world, while dance music purists continue to go crazy for his musical choice and mixing technique.

CHRIS LAKE BIO

For the past five years, Chris Lake has been living the dream. As a DJ he’s travelled the globe. As a producer, he’s topped industry charts over and over again. As a lover of music, he continues to chase down the freshest beats around. Simply put, he’s become one of the great DJ/ Producers of the world.

In 2009 Chris turned to the Americas with the intention of winning over two of the great musically cultural continents. Two Billboard Dance chart airplay number 1’s and multiple tours, have ensured that from Vancouver to Rio, NYC to Miami… the sound of Chris Lake has travelled far and wide, and is now embraced with loving arms, no matter what the city.

The question is, what is the sound of Chris Lake? Yes, he is known for his electro-pop crossover productions, and based on the success of 'Changes', ‘La Tromba’, ‘Only One’ and ‘If You Knew’, why not? The latter, taking the number one spot in the Music Week, Buzz and Cool Cuts charts, while the accompanying music video was praised by MTV and broke into its Top 5 weekly chart.

As a DJ his vibe is very different, always enjoying the darker and deeper side of electronic music, yet still fusing in homemade edits, just so the dance floor knows it’s a unique experience and one to be savored.

2010 has kicked off with a Michael Woods remix of his collaboration with good friend Deadmau5 ‘I Said’ taking Pete Tong’s first ‘essential new tune of the decade.’ Tours are lined up across the planet and Cream has confirmed Chris as an Ibiza resident for Deadmau5 & Friends at its summer season at Amnesia.

Chris’s label Rising Music is now in it’s fifth year and in a humble fashion, continues to grow with repeating success, supporting young and talented artists from around the world. Chris will be doing his first mixed compilation for two years on Toolroom Knights in late spring with the launch party being held at the Ministry of Sound on May 1st. Whilst back in the studio, he continues his collaborations, working closely with regular studio partner Marco Lys, as well as Michael Woods and Funkagenda.

Chris Lake is….? The word ‘accomplished’ springs to mind. Now it’s up to us to sit back and enjoy the pleasure of watching as his attitude towards music matures and develops… who knows what’s yet to come…
