Ep. 37 - Lee Burridge

The Former Fabric Resident Freed Himself From Tech House
Purgatory. //  On the new episode of Rave Curious, the former
Fabric resident explains building new brand especially for American
audiences. It'd be easy to blame Lee Burridge for some of the stuff
you hate. He's one of the founding fathers of tech-house, a loose
genre that still holds its cold grip around much of the
international dance music scene. He might be equally at fault for
the playa tech sound that gets so many Burning Man faithful into a
lather, having been one of the earliest DJs to bring jittery hand
drums and sunny synthesizers to the previously bass-saturated Black
Rock City. But like all innovators, the British DJ-producer has
managed to get out of these scenes before they get stale—making his
mark and moves on before the imitators cluster around a sound.
Burridge hopped on this week's episode of the Rave Curious Podcast
to explain his latest invention, All Day I Dream. It's an
international party series that stands out for it's sensual sound
and style meant to draw in party people who gravitate to something
more earthy and amorous than the clinical tech-house that dominates
so many sunlit soirees. He explains how he went from playing pop
music to airline workers in Hong Kong to leading multiple waves of
dance music deviation and decadence.
