Review: In which UK scene veteran, playa house originator and all-round good egg Lee Burridge teams up with Belgium's Lost Desert, a regular on his All Day I Dream label, for an EP that packs few surprises, perhaps, but makes for a very enjoyable 26 minutes of listening/dancing all the same. The title track is every bit as deep, dreamy and drifty as you'd expect, with the other three essentially adding variations of the theme: 'Slave To The String' features a rather lovely strings breakdown, while 'Here With You' adds a dose of subtle funk. As we said at the start, no big surprises but if you're a fan of the label and/or either artist, there's much to enjoy here.
Review: All Day I Dream are back with more dreamy and drifting deep house that's purpose made for sunny, open air rooftop parties. This time it is the turn of masked mystery man Lost Desert and label head honcho Lee Burridge on the utterly sublime "Lingala", featuring the wonderfully exotic vocal talents of Junior. The we have Moscow heroes and close label affiliates Gorje Hewek & Izhevski throwing down an impressive remix which injects more subtle tribal percussion and warmer bass frequencies into the track for added dancefloor impact.
Review: Following the fantastic reactions received for their previous collaborative EPs, Lee Burridge and mask-wearing man-of-mystery Lost Desert have decided to release a third EP single. They hit the ground running with "Loopyness", a pleasingly positive, fluid and sun-kissed chunk of rolling deep house/tech-house fusion full of cascading synthesizer lines, stretched-out chords and squidgy synth-bass. You'll find more dreamy, sunset-friendly warmth in the shape of "Botanic", where heady chords and yearning melodies flutter in and out of view. The duo completes a fine package with "12CC", where portions of extended ambient bliss make way for Innervisions style grooves and near Balearic electronics.
Review: Over the last few years the partnership between former Tyrant mainstay Lee Burridge and mystery producer Lost Desert has resulted in a string of impeccable deep house releases. "Melt", their most expansive collaborative release to date, is similarly atmospheric, intricate and picturesque. They set the scene brilliantly via a trio of sublime ambient cuts (the new age bliss of "Melt" and epic "Lingala (Beatless)" being the standouts) before shuffling towards the dancefloor on the deep and languid "Rain". Simon Vaurambon lends a hand on the atmospheric, bass-heavy chug of "One", while regular vocalist Junior lends his honeyed tones to the string-drenched positivity of "Mibale". Elsewhere you'll find more sweet and seductive dream house treats, with "Christina, Daydreaming" providing a fittingly loved-up finale. Superb stuff!
Review: Like its two predecessors, Lost Desert's third collection of collaborative cuts is packed to the rafters with melodious, atmospheric, tactile treats. Fittingly, they first hook up with regular studio buddy (and regular boss) Lee Burridge on 'My Time With You', a gorgeous, deep and dreamy house workout blessed with twinkling electric piano motifs and a suitably squelchy bassline, before joining forces with Mwinda in the bittersweet brilliance of 'Mwinda', where simmering synth-strings, enveloping chords, West African vocals and a subtly garage-influenced deep house groove catch the ear. Madrass lends a hand on 'Dwokire', an immersive, tech-tinged deep Afro-house number, while Lost Desert go solo on tactile and saucer-eyed deep tech-house cut 'Liebe Dich'.
Review: Given that most of his releases have been collaborative affairs with one like-minded producer or another - most frequently Lee Berridge - it's little surprise to find that Lost Desert's latest EP is another one built around joint productions. Berridge naturally lends a hand on epic opener "Welch" - little less than nine minutes of tactile, warming and ethereal dancefloor - before he moves in a darker, tech-tinged direction alongside Simon Vuarambon on "Earth Before Humans". Bona Fire collaboration "No Strings Attached" is a percussion-rich shuffle infused with glassy-eyed, watching-the-sun-come-up-at-a-rave nostalgia, while "That Moment & You", co-produced by Amand, confidently strides towards hypnotic tech-house-meets-deep house territory. There's also a neat digital-only bonus in the shape of Lost Desert's stirring, progressive house style remix of DSF's "Mystika".
Review: All Day I Dream's 'Summer Sampler' releases have always been action-packed treats, so it's no surprise that 2023's edition - which appears to be the most expansive to date - is another strong offering. Those who enjoy the imprint's trademark blend of tactile, tech-tinged house grooves, dreamy chords and melody-rich instrumentation will find plenty to set the pulse racing throughout, from the soaring, trance-inducing builds of Double Touch's 'Should've Known' and the warming, dancing-under-the-stars headiness of Lee Burridge's on-point remix of Luciano's 'The Amazing Lilou', the the deep and trippy wooziness of Lost Desert's 'Kuiki', and the immersive, sunrise-ready deep house bliss of 'Preciosa' by Mass Digital. In a word: essential!
Review: We tend to think of All Day I Dream's particular brand of melodious and atmospheric house music as being summery and sun-kissed, but as this second "Winter Sampler" proves, many of the label's tracks that sound just as good on crystal clear winter mornings. Musically, much of the material tiptoes the fine line between tech-house, deep house and what would once have been classic progressive house, with highlights provided by Zone+ (the drowsy and glacial dancefloor hypnotism of "The Muse"), Makebo & Anomita (the simmering bliss of "Symphonic Fantasy"), Katrinka (the deep, chunky Afro-house of "Mila") and Tim Green (the bubbly, snow-flecked electronics and Innervisions-esque grooves of "Sowa").
Review: Following a string of admired releases on Anjunadeep, African electronic music collective Bantwanas returns to All Day I Dream after a near three-year absence. They're in fine form, too, delivering two typically tactile, dreamy, tech-house-tinged deep house numbers. Totle track 'Ixesha' is full to bursting with poignant piano motifs, sweet female vocals and atmospheric field recordings, while 'Izolo' is a sunnier, more sparkling affair rich in marimba and kalimba melodies, warming chords and shuffling drums. Lee Burridge joins forces with Lost Desert to provide remixes of both cuts: a more minimalistic, stripped-back tech-house take on 'Ixesha', and a hypnotic, dreamy, locked-in version of 'Izolo' that impressively enhances the track's inherent beauty.
Review: Lee Burridge's All Day I Dream brings us its annual Summer Sampler; the perfect soundtrack to sunny, open-air rooftop soirees, featuring a dozen tracks all presented in the label's distinctly deep and evocative style. Highlights on the 2022 include vocal-led cuts like the sensual groove of opener "Fizzy Pop" feat. Max Milner, the sexy late-night mood music of "Little Things" by Mass Digital, Argentinian artist Nebula takes you deep into the exotic on "Visionaire" and finally Burridge himself appears - with the label chief going for an uplifting disco-influenced number (in collaboration with D*Note and Lost Desert) on "The Garden of Earthly Delight".
