Chris Lorenzo

2 upcoming festivals ↓

UK bass house at its most swaggering — rolling low end and hip-hop cadence, built for a dark room rather than a sunny field.

Chris Lorenzo, born Christopher Lawrence in Birmingham, England, in 1988, is a producer and DJ associated with the UK bass house sound. He first drew attention as one half of the duo Cause & Affect before moving into solo work, and later found wider recognition with the single "California Dreamin'," made with High Jinx.

His productions combine rolling, sub-heavy basslines with garage and hip-hop rhythmic phrasing, often built around chopped vocal samples. He has released music on labels including Black Book Records, Confession and Night Bass, and put out singles such as "Fly Kicks" and "Nothing Better" through his work with Insomniac Records.

Lorenzo has worked alongside artists including Steve Aoki and Skrillex over the course of his career. He is also a member of two collaborative projects, Anti Up with Chris Lake and Fly with Us with AC Slater, pairings that extend the rolling, bass-driven style he built his solo catalogue on.
