ID 6 could be from Cross Pollination 2? Out today finally is ‘Disappear’ the long anticipated ID 6 from the Summer 2025 Mixtape , complete with those stunning sadHAPPY vocals. This is the first Lane 8 and Sultan + Shepard release of 2026, and honestly, the fact that it’s a collab just makes it hit even harder. I’ve had this track on repeat since the mixtape dropped, and today I’ve played it more times than I’m willing to admit. Go listen to it now—because same, I’ve “been thinking about youuuuu.”
‘Disappear’
‘Disappear’ moves with intention from the first second. It opens slow and soft, like a memory forming. Pads rise, the arp flickers and the beat waits. Then everything breathes in at once. The first lift hits around the one‑minute mark as the kick settles into place, warm and steady. The vocals of sadHAPPY drift in like a confession. They feel close and fragile. ‘Disappear’ builds in waves, not drops. Each section expands, then pulls back, then blooms again. Around the midpoint, the song strips down. The break hits like a quiet truth. Then the final build climbs higher, wider, brighter. The last minute feels like release. Just emotion carried by movement.
Lane 8 brings the warmth. He brings the patience and his touch is the atmosphere—the glow around the edges that makes every sound feel deeper. Sultan + Shepard bring the melody. Their synth work always cuts clean, and you hear it in the plucks, the chords, the structured rise. sadHAPPY brings the heart. The voice, the vulnerability. Together, they lock into one feeling: hopeful, aching, nostalgic. No one overshadows the other. They build a world that feels big and intimate at the same time. And that’s why the track hits so hard.
Sultan + Shepard have been on a crazy run the past few years. They just keep delivering these emotional, melodic tracks that hit you right away. Their sound is warm, thoughtful, and instantly recognizable. You always know when it’s them. sadHAPPY is the new wave. The vocals are soft, intimate, and full of feeling. There’s this vulnerable edge in the voice that pulls you in without trying. It’s raw in the best way, and it brings a human touch that fits perfectly on this song.
This Never Happened Turns 10
Lane 8’s label is turning ten, and it feels huge. Daniel built something real. The no‑phones, live‑in‑the‑moment culture has become its own world. Fans travel from everywhere. It’s a community. A cult, in the best way. This year proves it. The This Never Happened shows in London and across the U.S. are selling out fast. May and June are already shaping up to be unforgettable. Get to one if you haven’t planned yet. It will change you. It will give you lifelong friends. You’ll talk about it for a decade.
