Over the past decade, Lee Burridgeâs All Day I Dream has captured the imagination and hearts of music lovers everywhere, offering magical daytime experiences dedicated to the community as much as the music. On May 12-15, The All Day I Dream Festival will debut in the idyllic surroundings of Californiaâs Woodward Reservoir in Oakdale, California to offer its first-ever weekend long camping escape.
Hailing from Grenoble, France, OXIA is one of the most respected DJs and producers on the international house and techno circuit, with a career spanning over twenty years, countless releases and multiple world tours. On top of an impressive list of remixes and releases on respected imprints such as Bedrock, Sapiens, REDIMENSION, 8bit, Hot Creations, Saved and Knee Deep in Sound to name just a few, he also fronts his own label, Diversions Music, alongside long-time friend and label partner Nicolas Masseyeff.
Lee Burridge is not one for the limelight, yet somehow he found his way into a career that puts you front and center of it all. Taking to the DJ booth, he’s been commanding dancefloors all over the world for the past 30 years. However, while he’s become a well-respected electronic music mainstay, for Lee Burridge, music has always been the centerpiece. âI was on the microphone asking people to move their cars, so people could go home,â says Burridge reminiscing on his beginnings as a wedding DJ and playing at local nightclubs. âI loved music, and actually is the same reason I DJ today is because I love music and love to share it.â
Spirituality and music are intrinsically linked, but few DJs on the planet forge that connection quite like YokoO. An endlessly eclectic individual, heâs lent his sound to a clutch of acclaimed labels, with Kindisch, Get Physical, Moodmusic and Plastic City among those whoâve fallen under his spell. Mentored by Matthew Dekay and now a regular at Lee Burridgeâs All Day I Dream parties, heâs a man who has enjoyed a stellar rise in recent years. One gets the impression, however, that the best may be yet to come.
Ahead of a gig in Miami alongside Lee Burridge, Facundo Mohrr and Roy Rosenfeld, we decided to put some questions to the man himselfâŠ
Today, global house music icon Lee Burridge and Belgian studio impresario Lost Desert have released their collaborative album, Melt, on All Day I Dream. The album acts as Leeâs first complete body of work, fusing his history of entrancing dancefloors around the world with the production know-all that has made Lost Desert one of melodic houseâs most expressive characters.
Pete Lazonby is Padre, the Taipei-based Brit and pensive force behind ‘Sweet Transport” and the newest addition to Lee Burridgeâs All Day I Dream (ADID) fold. Just donât call him a newcomer to the melodic house and techno scene: with previous releases on Traum and Neovinyl Recordings, Padreâs presence in the global dance sphere has been a long time coming.
Padre joins ADID a fervent electronic music veteran. âIâve been battling an electronic music-making addiction for most of my life,â he confesses. His fighting spirit is that of a producerâs producer â the kind of purist who endeavours to touch others with his music. To fulfil this desire, Padre found himself living in Taiwan: an atmosphere that offered him homely inspiration with little distraction.
“Sweet Transport” is a collaboration with Nigerian vocalist Oe. Itâs an uplifting effort that samples Vaughn Williamsâ âThe Lark Ascending.â Itâs a seamless addition to the ADID catalogue and one that is inherently Padre â thoughtful, organic, and with minimal force and pressure. Equally wistful are âSweet Transportâsâ re-works, which come from fellow ADID newcomer Quatri, and label stalwarts Gorje Hewek & Izhevski.
We sought to learn more about the enigma that is Padre through a candid discussion about his creative process, living in Taipei, and more.

All Day I Dream conjured something truly magical nine years ago on a Brooklyn rooftop. ADIDâs delicately decorated spaces and ethereal, emotive soundtracking has inspired a movement which has drawn hundreds of thousands across the globe to experience the magic.
With 2018 just around the corner Los Angeles couldn’t miss its end-of-the-year appointment with Lee Burridge and company.
Although the date changes every year, Dreamers remain faithful that the veteran British producer and DJ will return to the City of Angels once more to celebrate another orbit of our beautiful planet around the sun. This time around he brings label faithfuls YokoO and Hoj in tow, making the lineup a perfect trifecta of melodic deep vibes ideal for the soirée set to ensue.
Sponsored by Sapporo, the event returns on December 30th to the familiar and beloved home of Gin Ling Way in the city’s Chinatown area. The closed-off area is perfect for the open-air party and vibe Lee always strives to exudes with his parties, and marries well with the decor and general aesthetic of All Day I Dream events.
Tickets are available on Resident Advisor and will likely sell out as they do every year.

This coming Friday, January 13th, All Day I Dream will be releasing their latest EP courtesy of Argentinean recording artist Leo GrĂŒnbaum aka GrĂŒnbox.
Hailing from Buenos Aires, GrĂŒnbaum now lives in Berlin, where he has been putting his Berklee College of Music training to use, producing instrumental deep house tracks heavy with emotional chords  and dreamy vocals. His Amarone EP is a testament to his classical training, a 3 original 1 remix outing filled with symphonic elements and super intricate, lush soundscapes.
Since 2010 he has toured the globe, collaborating with fellow artists including Alex Under, Matthew Dekay, Guti. Following successful releases on Trapez Ltd, Desolat, Lucidflow and more, GrĂŒnbaum is the latest artist to join the All Day I Dream as of January 2017, merging the vision of his Tech House act GrĂŒnbox with the lushness of a new sound.
All Day I Dream‘s vision is one that transcends the mere scope of your run-of-the-mill party series. Founded by Lee Burridge on a hot Brooklyn rooftop back in 2011, the brand has gone on to become a worldwide phenomenon, spurred on by the promise of a dreamy journey through music no matter the city and the venue.
It was clear from the beginning that Lee’s Burning Man influences and prowess in the studio combined to provide an escape party unlike others in the United States, attracting thousands of “Dreamers” in Los Angeles, New York City and other cities who flocked to All Day I Dream in search of a transcendental foray into a magic and unparalleled world.
