Grammy-nominated house heavyweight Chris Lake has officially unleashed his highly anticipated remix of The Chemical Brothers’ iconic anthem “Galvanize,” celebrating the 20th anniversary of the track’s original release. Arriving via Astralwerks and Positiva Records, the remix injects a fresh surge of Lake’s signature high-octane energy into the 2005 classic that originally earned Platinum certifications across the globe. By pairing driving basslines and surging percussion with the unmistakable “Galvanize” hook, Lake has crafted a peak-time weapon that honors the original’s pioneering legacy while retooling it for a new generation of club-goers. The Chemical Brothers themselves have praised the reimagining, noting that Lake successfully captured the track’s original spirit while giving it a modern lease on life that fits perfectly into today’s most elite DJ sets.
The collaboration marks a historic meeting of two electronic music eras, as Lake—one of the most influential figures in modern house—takes on the challenge of reinterpreting a song that “changed the game” two decades ago. The resulting remix strikes a masterful balance between the classic Middle Eastern-inspired strings of the original and the infectious, speaker-shuddering grooves characteristic of Lake’s discography. Having already become a staple in his own performances throughout the late 2025 festival season, the “Galvanize” remix has proven to be an “utterly relentless” addition to the electronic music landscape. It stands as a definitive tribute to the enduring influence of The Chemical Brothers, proving that even twenty years later, the call to “galvanize” remains as potent and electrifying as ever.
