Your ultimate commute soundtrack is back! April’s updated Commuter Trax: Dance/Electronic playlist delivers a handpicked selection of the freshest and most energizing dance and electronic music, from the biggest names to the most exciting up-and-comers – all designed to power you through your daily journey.
Our focus this month is on the incredible talents of Chris Lake and Lilly Palmer.
Let’s start with Chris Lake. He is undeniably one of the artists currently driving the energy in the electronic music world. This master of house music has a knack for creating tech-house that always gets people moving, blending killer vocal snippets with a rhythm that’s impossible to resist. His track “Toxic,” with Ragie Ban, is absolutely blowing up and, as you can hear, sits right at the top of our Commuter Trax: Dance/Electronic playlist on Spotify for April. It’s got samples from Bell Biv Devoe’s ‘Poison’ with a synth heavy beat that is a perfect blend of catchy and driving – exactly what you need during your commute. Beyond this chart-topper, Chris is constantly dropping new tracks and remixes on his label, Black Book Records, which is a real stamp of quality in the scene. His DJ sets at festivals are just insane and the energy is always through the roof. He’s definitely one of the guys shaping how tech-house sounds today.

Then there’s Lilly Palmer, who’s been making an impressive climb in the techno scene. Her sound is this captivating mix of really powerful, almost industrial-strength beats layered with hypnotic and melodic elements. Her tracks are the kind of techno that grabs you and doesn’t let go. Lilly’s latest effort “Party Don’t Stop” featuring Ad-Apt is also a standout on our Commuter Trax: Dance/Electronic playlist this month, and it perfectly showcases her signature energy and production style. You can hear why she’s been tearing up dance floors at all the big techno events and releasing on some seriously respected labels, like Armada Music. It feels like she’s at the forefront of this exciting new wave in techno, and as a prominent female artist in the scene, she’s undoubtedly inspiring a whole new generation of producers and fans to jump into the world of driving, immersive sounds.

Even though Chris does his tech-house thing and Lilly’s all about that techno vibe, having them both featured on the playlist this month shows how diverse and exciting electronic music is right now. No matter if you’re into those catchy house beats or the harder techno sounds or even the moodier bass music bangers, there’s always something on the playlist to make the commute a bit more interesting. You can always count on Commuter Trax playlists to feature chart-topping favorites like Dom Dolla, David Guetta, FISHER, Timmy Trumpet, Zeds Dead, HAYLA, Anyma and others, alongside talented independent producers and recording artists waiting to be discovered.
