Chris Lake & Riva Starr – Beat Freak (Feat. Lau.ra)

Kicking off the mix is a Chris Lake collaboration with Riva Starr co-written by lau.ra titled “Beat Freak.” Showcasing Chris Lake’s trademark sound, the track is a pulsating dance floor tech-house gem knocking with ferocity. With undulating bass hypnotic melodies and a catchy vocal courtesy of lau.ra, the track is an expertly crafted heater suited for the underground.

“Riva Starr hit me up on WhatsApp as he had an idea he wanted to share with me for a track. We’ve known each other for many years, but it felt like the right time to do something together and ‘Beat Freak’ is the result.”
