In the latest episode of our Beat From Scratch series, we join Chris Lake at W1 Curates Studios London to learn the secrets behind his productions.
Over the course of the past two decades, Chris Lake has become a staple in electronic music, from his earliest bootlegs of tracks by The Prodigy, Leftfield and Eurythmics, and legendary singles like ‘Changes’, ‘If You Knew’ and ‘Stay With Me’, to his collaborations and remixes with the likes of The Chemical Brothers, Missy Elliot, Fisher, Green Velvet and Aluna.
Here, he breaks down the skills and tricks that make his tracks so irresistible, showcasing how he works within Ableton and passing on some helpful advice on studio workflow.
Beat from Scratch is a unique insight into an artist’s creative process in the studio. Starting from a blank session, each artist builds a track from scratch in their own style, exploring everything from drum and synth programming to mixing, arrangement and more.
