REVIEW: Lane 8 - The One EP incl official music video out on Anjunadeep

With a #1 Hype Machine record under his belt, San Francisco's Lane 8 has been a star of the 2013 underground with support from Majestic Casual, BBC Radio 1's B.Traits and tastemakers across the board.

Off the back of a release on French Express and "Be Mine", one of the many highlights on #1 iTunes Dance album "Anjunadeep 05", Lane 8 aka Daniel Goldstein returns to the label with two classy deep grooves that merge his unique melodic textures with a new vocal leaning.

Sounding like a cross between Tale Of Us, French Express and Cyril Hahn, lead track "The One" is a slow-burning, deep melodic gem with Patrick Baker's vocals adding an extra layer of catchiness. With early support coming from Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1 and The Magician on his infamous Magic Tape series, “The One” already looks like a future Lane 8 classic.

Showcasing Daniel's versatility, the more indie-pop flavoured "Nothing You Can Say" features the wistful, uplifting vocals of hotly tipped songstress Lucy Stone alongside a melodic, summery electronic dance backing.

Off the back of Sonnentanz, one of 2013’s biggest dance tracks, Klangkarussell turn in a monster of a remix of “The One”. Having built up a reputation for delicate feel-good melodies, they showcase a much darker side on this one, with a no nonsense beast full of raw bass and distorted vocals. 







Dimitri Kechagias review: The stunning record label Anjunadeep releases amazing eclectic future club favourites that stand out  and become instant anthems in the deep / progressive house scene. Next amazing artist is Lane 8 who delivers two great originals. First of all The One feat Patrick Baker is a magnificent melodic deep house beauty with warm cinematic strings, deep basslines, techy chunky beats and great strings. On some moments the main synthy lead becomes quite aggressive in order to highlight the emotional tension of the excellent sensitive lyrics. Sensitive deep house sonic journey that will be appreciated by wide variety of audiences as easily can be played for instance on a deep trance set as well. On Nothing You Can Say the vocals are delivered from Lucy Stone. It's an excellent piece of melodic relaxing deep house meets trance with indie rock influences and the outstanding performance by Lucy who manage easily to crawl under your skin and talk to your soul. The lyrics are extremely infectious so expect to sing a long with them by holding a pen in your hand in front of your mirror. The well known duo Klangkarussell service their deep tech house interpretation with chunky groovy beats and deep funky basslines along with the distorted aggressive synths. Their breakdown is truly cinematic with romantic piano chords and deeply emotional sweet synthy melody. Exceptional composition that manage easily to carry away the listener on the deep playful creative surprising journey. The whole release package is #PureGold and highly recommended. Love iT
