Lane 8 - Rise
The Anjuna family is here, meaning the crowd is entirely composed of tech bros who recently discovered 'mindfulness' and think crying to a deep house set is a substitute for therapy. They are aggressively shushing anyone who dares to speak during the breakdowns. Melancholic, sun-kissed euphoria that wraps around you like a warm, expensive blanket. This Lane 8 - Rise (Continuous Mix) [2015] live set flows beautifully at an average of 122.8 BPM.
The Lane 8 - Rise (Continuous Mix) [2015] tracklist utilizes the 12A and 8B keys to construct a deeply emotional, low-energy (0.54) Rominimal and progressive house journey. The transitions are famously long, lush, and imperceptible. 'ZHU - Cocaine Model' adds a sleazy, late-night groove to the otherwise angelic tracklist. 'Axwell - Feel the Vibe ('Til the Morning Comes) [Vocal Club Mix]' is a massive, nostalgic nod to mid-2000s house dominance.
The gorgeous opening track 'Lane 8 - Loving You (feat. Lulu James)' sets the mood instantly. The emotional zenith arrives with 'Lane 8 - Klara', carrying that momentum all the way to the stunning closing track, 'Lane 8 - Diamonds'.
