Īfter releasing music on SoundCloud in 2014, Lane 8 rose to wider prominence through the Anjunadeep label, and his 2015 debut album Rise. In 2017, Lane 8 began hosting This Never Happened Summer Gatherings, daytime events in unique outdoor venues. Attendees are prohibited from recording the shows with cell phones or cameras on the basis of encouraging attendees to be present. Lane 8 launched the This Never Happened show concept, attached to his Little by Little tour, in 2016. As of 2021, seven volumes of Root to Branch have been released.

This Never Happened also volumetrically released Root to Branch, an EP-length compilation series featuring a few artists that provides listeners with a shorter inundation of new music. Artists signed to This Never Happened have been known to tour with Lane 8 as supporting acts and produce remixes of other TNH artists that are then released on the label. It has since grown into an outlet where he is able to release his best tracks as well as introduce new talent into the scene and give them a wider platform to build upon. Named after the show concept that began with his Little by Little tour, This Never Happened was created to build an independent presence in the deep house genre. In 2016, Lane 8 founded the record label This Never Happened (TNH). He has previously described his sound as "dreamy back rub house." In 2013, he signed to Anjunadeep, where he released his debut album in the summer of 2015. At some point in 2012, "Lane 8 really found his groove with his sound fitting between pulsing electronica and a woozier kind of glitch-pop" putting him on the radar of Anjunadeep A&R executive Jody Wisternoff. He later started experimenting with hip-hop beats after being influenced by Pete Rock and DJ Premier. The Lane 8 moniker originated back when Goldstein made garage rock with his sibling when they were kids.
