GRAMMY®-nominated DJ and producer Chris Lake has released his highly anticipated remix of The Chemical Brothers’ legendary track Galvanize, marking the 20th anniversary of its original release. Out now on Positiva Records, the remix brings a fresh surge of signature Chris Lake energy to one of electronic music’s most enduring anthems.
Originally released in 2005, Galvanize became a global phenomenon, earning Platinum certifications in the US, UK, and Australia and solidifying The Chemical Brothers’ status as electronic pioneers. Two decades later, Chris Lake, arguably one of the most influential figures in modern house music, takes on the challenge of reinterpreting the track for a new generation of club-goers while carefully preserving its original essence.
“Galvanize marked a real turning point for us when it first was released. It was one of those moments where everything just connected and it was a major success for us back then. It’s incredible to realise that it still has such an influence these days and we absolutely love the way Chris put his own stamp on it. He managed to keep the original spirit of the track, yet bringing it into the modern age, giving it a new lease on life.” The Chemical Brothers said when speaking on the release.
Lake’s remix boasts driving basslines and surging percussion that elevates the track into a peak-time weapon for today’s dance floors. A nod to the original’s spirit with a modern twist, the remix captures the iconic Galvanize hook and vocals, while injecting it with the unmistakable Chris Lake sound.
“Remixing a track as iconic as ‘Galvanize’ is no small task,” says Chris Lake. “It’s a song that changed the game when it dropped, so my goal was to honor that legacy while giving it a version that would fit into my own DJ sets and discography. I’m super happy with the balance I managed to strike between the original and my own style.”
The remix follows the success of Lake’s debut album Chemistry, which dropped in July and debuted at #13 on Billboard’s Electronic Album Chart, while also breaking into the Top 10 Global and USA Album Debut Charts on Spotify. Chris also secured the #1 spot as the top-selling artist on Beatport’s mid-year chart, further cementing his dominance in the electronic music scene. The new Chemical Brothers remix builds on Lake’s remarkable momentum in 2025, with recent collaborations alongside Disclosure, Atrip, and his second track with Sammy Virji, 925, following their viral summer anthem Summertime Blues.
Lake is currently in the midst of his Chemistry Album Tour, spanning the US, UK, and beyond, including stops at KOKO London (Sept 5), Echostage in Washington DC (Oct 31), Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco (Nov 15), and PNE Forum in Vancouver (Dec 19). As part of his ongoing commitment to sustainability, $1 from every ticket sold will go to Oceanic Global, a non-profit focused on ocean conservation, through a partnership with PLUS1.
For The Chemical Brothers, the remix arrives as they continue their global DJ appearances, including upcoming dates at [UNVRS] in Ibiza, Knockdown Centre in NYC, Portola Festival in San Francisco, and Fabrik in Madrid and Magazzini Generali in Milan.
With this release, Chris Lake bridges two generations of dance music, breathing new life into one of the most celebrated electronic records of all time. The Chris Lake remix of Galvanize by The Chemical Brothers is out now on Positiva Records. Listen now via positiva.lnk.to/galvanizeremix.
