Chris Lake and Tiga Join Forces for New Tech House Anthem ‘Party Time’

Chris Lake, an undisputed industry leader, continues to dominate the tech house scene as he sells out multiple-day runs of some of the biggest shows of his career. Montreal’s Tiga, a dance music veteran as well, has also had a strong start to the year, with the release of his album HOTLIFE and a powerful collaboration with Dom Dolla. The two legends have now united to produce a new, forward-thinking tech house tune featuring vocals from Chris Lake‘s wife, Aatig. ‘Party Time’ is out now on Black Book Records.

The track opens with a spoken word, back-and-forth duet between Tiga and Aatig, utilizing clever wordplay between the phrases “party time” and “body time.” The drop is sudden, shifting the focus to an unusual, choppy melody underscored with pulsing percussion and scattered sound effects, including signature bloops and scratches. Vocals return with a more noticeable buildup, leading to a groovier, albeit equally unconventional, drop. The track briefly slows down before firing back with a third release of energy through its conclusion.

While tech house remains an immensely popular genre, ‘Party Time’ clearly stands out, showcasing the innovation and production skills of its collaborators. It is no surprise that the track delivered exceptional responses from crowds at Tiga’s Coachella set and Chris Lake’s recent shows in New York and Los Angeles.

Chris Lake has his tour, club, and festival shows booked well through the summer and into the fall, with performances across major cities in the United States and Canada, including a unique B2B DJ-set with Disclosure in September. Tiga, while not actively touring, will appear at HARD Summer and ARC Chicago, plus a hometown show at Montreal’s ÎleSoniq festival.
