'HighRoller' marks Detlef's return to Black Book Records, and it lands exactly where you'd expect from one of the industry's most reliable hitmakers. Detlef has been a fixture of the global tech house scene for years, with a catalog spread across the genre's most respected homes - Hot Creations and Solid Grooves among them. #1 Beatport hits like 'Swagon' and 'Deep Dip' put him on the map, but it's the consistency that's kept him there: records that show up in sets from Jamie Jones to Green Velvet, both of whom he's collaborated with extensively. His years at the heart of Paradise at DC-10 sealed his reputation as a main-room operator, and that pedigree carries across Insomniac, The Warehouse Project, Printworks, CRSSD, and Creamfields. With his own imprint ISSUES, he's added label head to the resume - a platform built around the same raw, club-first ethos that runs through everything he puts his name on. ‘HighRoller’ arrives as another sharp addition to a catalog that continues to hold weight across the global club circuit.

Part of a rising wave of young American producers pushing underground beats in their own direction, California's own Braydon Terzo joins the Black Book Records roster with an impressive two-track release. His records have quickly earned the attention of artists like Mau P, Cloonee, Chris Stussy, and Jamie Jones and we've been patiently waiting for the right release to bring him to the label. 'Get Ruff,' a track that has found its way into Sosa's Coachella set, where it became one of the most replayed moments from the performance on YouTube. The record has also received support from Adam Ten at EDC and Chris Lake during his Under the K Bridge shows in New York. Terzo is helping shape a new generation of artists bringing fresh energy to the genre.

Chris Lake delivers his debut album, Chemistry, via Black Book Records. Its the long-awaited and career-defining LP that features 15 tracks which capture the producer at his most self-assured. Lake pays homage to the sonic fingerprint that gave rise to his career, demonstrating why hes cemented his place as a defining artist of this generation. With a stellar bank of collaborators across its tracklist-Bonobo, MPH, Abel Balder, Kelly Lee Owens, and Aatig, to name a few-the project champions creativity, inviting a cohort of cutting-edge tastemakers to help shape a world that stands as a testament to Lakes curatorial ear. Fully independent and self-funded, Chemistry pores over every corner of the electronic music landscape while remaining unmistakably anchored in Lakes sonic DNA. Lake intentionally pursues the path less travelled, and with more than a decade of experience, balances pushing the envelope with delivering lasting impact. On the albums focus track Falling, Chris Lake and Bonobo merge for the first time, delivering a deep, sun-soaked cut that flips listener expectations on its head. Equal parts dancefloor and daydream, Bonobos palette blends seamlessly with Lakes undeniable knack for club pressure-leaning into their respective strengths without compromise. At its core, Chemistry is an expert display of the artistry that is key to Lakes identity. The album is as masterful as it is functional, allowing it to deliver on fan expectations, while offering a new facet to Lakes production. Lake has nurtured his blueprint, and with the release of this album, showcases how he continues to challenge himself to evolve. Through its diverse array of collaborators, Lake joins forces with voices that are shaping dance culture from the ground up, and riding this momentum, 2025 shows no signs of stopping for the producer. Lakes tour diary includes headline shows at Waterfront Park San Diego, Denvers iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre with Chris Lorenzo, and UNVRS with FISHER. Celebrating the albums release, Lake also puts together a double-header at Brooklyn Storehouse on July 11 and 12 in partnership with Tek Support. Additional festival dates include Shambhala Music Festival, San Franciscos Portola, and more. Prepare to be surprised and delighted.
