It’s always a great day when Lane 8 drops a new mix.

Every year since the winter 2013, the Colorado deep house don has been known to release four mixes from his revered seasonal mixtape series. Outside of that, fans can expect the producer to release one to two other mixes to fill in the time between seasons with a few extra hours of melodic bliss. While just coming off the back of his Spring 2020 mixtape a month ago, Lane 8 has stepped up to the table to provide a surprise three-hour mix, which he deems “Groundhog Day, a mixtape” to brighten everyone’s quarantine up just a little bit.

In typical Lane 8 fashion, he kicks it off with an unreleased collaboration “Roll Call” alongside Anderholm before heading into a bevy of unreleased and newly released cuts from Yotto, Local Dialect, and Arche as well as selects from Four Tet and Matador. Additionally, Lane 8 debuts a number of remixes from what seems to be a remix-album-in-the-making for his latest LP, Brightest Lights, from the This Never Happened roster. Overall, the Groundhog Day mixtape is Lane 8 at his best: an eclectic assortment of house tones and textures jam-packed in a seamless three-hour audio journey.
