Tech House Takeover: Chris Lake and FISHER to Debut Curated “Under Construction” Stage at Electric Zoo

by Michael Ryan · Published July 11, 2023

Two of the biggest names in house music are coming together for a massive festival takeover.

With a plethora of chart-topping tracks between them, Chris Lake and FISHER need no introduction. Though the duo’s "Under Construction" offshoot has had one-off sets at festivals before, this year it'll appear for a special takeover on the first day of Electric Zoo.

New York’s premier electronic music festival will welcome the duo to its brand new stage, the MegaMirage, an immersive "festival in a festival" concept developed by Brooklyn Mirage. To nail that sentiment, MegaMirage will be located in a newly expanded, secluded part of the festival grounds with its own entrances and exits.

Chris Lake and FISHER’s hand-picked lineup for Electric Zoo 2023 features Cloonee, Mau P, Rebūke, HoneyLuv, Yolanda Be Cool and Charles Meyer.

“I love playing in New York, the crowd’s love for house music, and the welcoming and warming atmosphere makes me super excited to come back to the city and experience it all over again with Under Construction at EZoo,” HoneyLuv said.

Following up his breakthrough single “Drugs From Amsterdam” with “Gimme That Bounce” and the even friskier “Your Mind Is Dirty,” Mau P is on a hot streak riding high through 2023.

“Ever since my first tour in the US earlier this year, NYC has held a special place in my heart,” the Dutch DJ and producer said. “The shows we did there absolutely went off, so needless to say I’m looking forward to the next round at Electric Zoo’s Under Construction Stage! I have a few tricks up my sleeve this summer which I’m super excited about and I can’t wait to share it all with you in September.”

"Under Construction" is one of six curated stage takeovers at Electric Zoo this year. Read more about the rest of the curators and the lineup here.
