Lane 8 will release Cross Pollination II, a new album with 14 tracks, on June 12th through his record label, This Never Happened (TNH). He made this announcement on X/Twitter and included a link for fans to pre-save and pre-order the album.

This album revisits a format the innovative melodic and deep house producer had used in 2020 with the original Cross Pollinationalbum. That album featured seven tracks and gathered artists from the TNH universe during a quieter time for live music. Six years later, the sequel offers double the tracks and includes not only artists from the label but also well-known names like Rae Morris, Davey Havok, Gui Boratto, and Grigoré.

Since January, five of the album’s tracks have been released. Each track first appeared as an ID in Lane 8’s live shows or seasonal mixtapes before their official release. The track ‘Disappear’, which features sadHAPPY, continues Lane 8’s partnership with Sultan + Shepard. In February, he released ‘Penguin Parade’ with Robby East, who previously worked on the Dahlia EP for the TNH label and contributed to Lane 8’s Childish remix album. Also, Lane 8 released a collaborative single, ‘Adelie,’ with Singaporean producer MYRNE, who contributed his own Childish remix in late 2025 as well. In March, he released ‘Tripwires’, which features Massane and barking continues. The fifth track, ‘World Is Mine’, came out on April 23rd and includes collaborations with Kasbo and BJOERN.

This year marks ten years of This Never Happened as a record label and live event concept. To celebrate, Lane 8 has organized anniversary shows in London and Colorado, which will run through mid-June.
