Review: A 14-track collection here from Lee Burridge's All Day I Dream. The title refers to the release date but also hints at what to expect stylistically, because the emphasis here is on hazy, lazy vibes that'll sound best served outdoors on a hot, sunny day, as deep house, deep prog and downtempo/Balearic collide in one very chilled package. Standouts including Double Touch's Middle Eastern-tinged 'Sunriser', Hermanez's deep tribal groove 'Third Decade' and the Indian-infused deep house of Sebastian Leger's 'Kanga', but really this is one of those albums that's best enjoyed whole, letting the soothing sounds ease away your cares...
Review: We first became aware of VICTHOR via his contribution to All Day I Dream's summer 2019 sampler compilation. It seems fitting then that the little known (but fast rising) artist has returned to the imprint to release his first full EP, a collaboration-heavy affair that outs mood and melody right at the forefront. He first joins forces with Romanian tech-house type Bross on the smooth, semi-symphonic peak-time melodiousness of 'La Caminata', before getting Alex Twin on board for 'Amarr', a similarly attractive affair that adds Middle Eastern and North African instrumentation to a gorgeous deep house groove. There's a similarly exotic, mind altering feel at the heart of Christian Lepah collab 'Sundar (Newman Retouch)', while fully solo outing 'Walk Away' is deliciously dreamy, loved-up and musically detailed.
