Minhaj Hossain has been listening to Electronic Music for as long as he can remember. Born in 1988, Minhaj and his family moved to Canada when he was just 6 months old. There he started watching Electric Circus on TV and started to listen to the radio, which allowed him to fall in love with electronic music. In 2005, Minhaj and a friend picked up Cubase and completed their first track together under the moniker, Nightscape. Their biggest influence was older tracks from 1998-2001. The two went their separate ways, and Minhaj later started his new project, Blue Neptune. He released his first EP under the ambient digital label, Silk Sofa (Silk Music). Since then, he has been incorporating his ambient style along with house and techno music. In 2012, Minhaj abandoned his Blue Neptune persona and started producing under City Lies, focusing on deep electronic music.
