Lane 8
Lane 8, born Daniel Goldstein, is an American-born musician, electronic music producer, and DJ.
‘This Never Happened’
Rather than pander to the purists or create music for DJs alone, Lane 8 has always tread his own, distinctive path – perhaps best summed up by his phones-free event and label concept, ‘This Never Happened.’ The idea is simple: remove all phones and cameras from the event and get back to connecting with the music and the people around you. And it has been embraced with passion by his dedicated fanbase and the dance community at large.
With his most recent This Never Happened tours, including sold-out shows at Warsaw in New York, The Fonda in LA, and Zoo Project in Sydney, the This Never Happened message is spreading far and wide. In tandem with the events, Daniel’s output on the TNH label has stood out for its integrity and artistry, whether on emotional epics like ‘Fingerprint’ or quirky, upbeat groovers such as ‘With Me.’
Always defined by a melodic touch, TNH is the culmination of a steady, assured rise over recent years. After blowing up in the blogosphere with a series of Soundcloud-driven Hype Machine #1s around 2014, Lane 8 rose to broader prominence: through a relationship with Anjunadeep and his critically acclaimed 2015 album ‘Rise.’
Returning to the label with the Kidnap Kid collaboration ‘Aba,’ 2017 will also see a steady stream of music on This Never Happened and more TNH tours the world over.
