Today, two of the hottest names in dance music have come together for a collaboration of epic proportions. GRAMMY®-nominated DJ/producers Chris Lake and Disclosure have finally shared their massively awaited collaboration ‘in2minds,‘ out now via Black Book Records/Astralwerks.
Co-produced by Lake and Disclosure, ‘in2minds’ is a hypnotic banger that pushes their artistry to bold new heights. In a perfect convergence of their potent musicality and forward-thinking vision, the track unfolds in a gorgeous explosion of shimmering synth and frenetic beats, endlessly building in intensity while orbiting around a pulsating groove. The result: a wildly infectious force of nature primed to overtake dance floors all across the globe.
“This was a fun and natural collaboration for me. We made ‘in2minds’ the first day we got in the studio together. Disclosure and I are both pretty technical and with this song it feels like we kind of flexed on each other a little bit. The result is the collaboration of two minds.”
-Chris Lake
‘in2minds’ first began building buzz back in May, when Disclosure previewed it during their B2B set with Mochakk at Cercle Festival. After teasing the track in July at Black Book On The Pier in Brooklyn, Lake appeared as a surprise guest at Disclosure’s Friends & Family pop-up in Los Angeles in August and once again thrilled the crowd with a special preview of ‘in2minds.’ In addition, leading DJs like Four Tet, salute, Joy Orbison, Ben UFO, and more have played the tune nonstop at underground club shows all summer long.
“I’ve been a fan of Chris’s work since discovering his track ‘Piano Hand,’ and only recently discovered we’ve been neighbours in LA for a few years now. When we finally connected, our first time working together led to this track ‘in2minds,’ a fast-paced, bass-heavy 808 driving track with a nice blend of each of our styles & vibes in there. This is just the first of a few bits we have cooking. I hope you all enjoy this one.”

An Epic Summer for Chris Lake & Disclosure
Dropping a month after Lake and Disclosure delivered powerhouse sets at HARD Summer in LA, ‘in2minds’ caps off a historic summer for both acts. To that end, Lake is still riding high off his hit collab ‘Summertime Blues‘ with Sammy Virji — a feel-good house anthem that landed on a number of Spotify Viral charts, reigned at #1 on the dance/electronic club charts for several weeks, and received a Danny Howard “Hottest Record” premiere in the UK. In the midst of dominating major festivals all throughout the season, Lake also released Black Book ID’s: Chapter 8 (the latest compilation from the pioneering label he founded in 2016), whose globe-spanning tracklist includes Cloonee’s remix of his 2022 hit ‘In The Yuma‘ ft. Aatig.
Meanwhile, Disclosure scored a global smash with ‘She’s Gone, Dance On,‘ an unstoppable summer heater that premiered as the “Hottest Record” on BBC Radio 1’s “New Music Show with Jack Saunders,” debuted at 16 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, and graced Billboard’s Friday Dance Music Guide. Since premiering in May (with its stunningly choreographed video following in July), the lush and euphoric track has received remixes from the likes of U.K. phenom Hamdi, Turkish DJ Carlita, and U.S. legend Todd Edwards.
