There’s a reason Lane 8 calls his label This Never Happened: In the Denver DJ/producer’s music, hazy pads and wistful toplines dissolve into deep house like fading visions of a dream. In the delectable “Stir Me Up”, from 2018’s Little by Little, Abigailocia La Fevre’s voice drifts like smoke over slow-motion chords; in the 2020 single “Keep On”, for Anjunabeats, detuned synths drip with nostalgia. The gorgeous “Road”, from 2020’s Brightest Lights, proves the bittersweet splendor of his songwriting: It can lift you up or catch your fall, just when you need it most.
