"Childish is a mark of creative rebirth for the relatively private Daniel Goldstein, better known publicly as Lane 8 — a document of self-discovery that’s resulted in his most meaningful music to date. These ten songs are the culmination of Goldstein’s decade-plus long career as Lane 8, which has been balanced with a personal life full of music, art, family, and the joy that creativity so often generates.
The title – and concept - was spawned through Goldstein’s observing his kids as they grew older and more artistically curious in their forms of play. “Our kids had gone from being very small to being real people,” he muses.“It was inspiring to watch them become creative—drawing, crafts, bead projects, silly songs — in this very innocent and pure way. It also made me realize my own process had deviated so far from that. I was thinking too much about the results and not enough about experiencing the joy of creativity. I realized I can just make an album for the pure enjoyment of it, without worrying too much how it will be received or even if it will work at my shows.”
Altogether, these songs form a deeply personal artistic statement from Goldstein.
“I set out to make music that was for myself, first and foremost—music that, in that moment, was what I was really excited about. From my perspective, it brings together a lot of the things that I’ve touched on in individual songs but hadn’t necessarily put all together on an album.” - Lane 8

About Lane 8
Daniel Goldstein, a California-born producer and DJ, is making waves in the melodic and emotional house music scene with his unique sound.
What sets Daniel apart is his remarkable ability to craft music that resonates both in the club and on the iPod. This skill has earned him an unusually wide range of support from renowned DJs, including The Magician, ODESZA, Above & Beyond, Annie Mac, and Zane Lowe. In recognition of his contributions, he was named one of the “top 25 trail-blazing producers” by inthemix.com.
“Rise,” Daniel’s debut album, was released last year to widespread acclaim from both critics and fans. The 10-track journey takes listeners on an emotional rollercoaster, featuring beautiful melodic instrumentals, unexpected leftfield pop moments, and quirky electronica. With “Rise,” Lane 8 boldly emerged as a rising star, showcasing his confident and unique sound. The album received praise from renowned publications like The New York Times, SPIN, Billboard, and VICE’s Noisey, all of which premiered tracks from the album. DJ Mag even went as far as to say that Lane 8 has “created a lane all to himself, free of comparison and full of resilient independence.”
Following the success of his Hype Machine #1 track with his stirring remix of Maribou State’s “Wallflower,” Daniel released his “Midnight EP” in January 2016 on the esteemed tastemaker record label, Suara, founded by Coyu. The 3-track EP quickly climbed to the top spot on Beatport’s Deep House release chart, further solidifying Lane 8’s momentum and popularity.
Daniel's label and events concept is the highly successful “This Never Happened.” By removing the distractions of phones and photos, this initiative aims to create a pure and immersive experience for fans, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the music and the moment.
