Anti Up is the powerhouse collaborative project of UK electronic titans Chris Lake and Chris Lorenzo. Formed in 2018, the duo represents a convergence of Lake's chart-topping house sensibilities and Lorenzo's foundational role in the bassline and jackin' house scenes.
Their sound identity is defined by 'bass house,' a hybrid genre that utilizes the 4/4 structure of house but replaces traditional soulful elements with the aggressive, distorted low-end typical of UK garage and dubstep. Critically, they are lauded for pushing tech house into more industrial and experimental territories. Their career arc has been marked by high-impact EPs and singles that become instant staples in festival circuits, characterized by a 'less is more' approach to melody and a 'more is more' approach to sub-bass. They occupy a unique cultural position as 'producers' producers,' respected for their technical sound design while maintaining massive commercial appeal. Their influence can be seen in the rise of the 'harder' tech house sound that dominated the early 2020s.
