Lane 8 releases surprise Ground Hog Day mix

As if his serene seasonal mixtapes weren’t enough of a gift for fans, Lane 8 seems to be in the habit of releasing surprise mixes as of late. In October, the Bay Area progressive house artist unleashes a no-frills Halloween mix. Now, almost half a year later, the This Never Happened boss has given his loyal fanbase a new concept with his Ground Hog Day, a mixtape.

At a time when most Americans would normally be coming out of their winter hibernations, the current state of the world is forcing most to stay indoors. Still, that doesn’t stop Lane 8 from delivering almost three hours of bright, sunny song selections and masterful mixing. Of course, Lane 8 makes sure to include all his favorite producers from Kölsch, Four Tet, Moon Boots, Matador, and more.

Soothing and organic, yet highly energetic and upbeat, this is the most progressive we’ve seen from Lane 8 in a while. His landscape is beautifully strewn across a steady beat foundation, complete with hypnotizing energy, colorful textures, long, drawn-out builds, and euphoric payoffs. “Ground Hog Day, a mixtape” is part chill house, part dark tech, and all progressive.
