All Day I Dream Germany

Review: Having spent a spell on loan at Russian label Shanti Radio, serial collaborator Patrick Bruyndonx AKA Lost Desert returns to his musical home-from-home, All Day I Dream, with an action-packed EP of joint productions. He first joins forces with regular studio partner Lee Burridge on the tactile, warming and ethereal dancefloor bliss of "Welch", before exploring darker, tech-tinged deep house pastures on Simon Vuarambon hook-up "Earth Before Humans". Over on side B, 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.

Review: Two years on from their last outing of note - the deliciously melodic and atmospheric "Elephants EP" - PHCK returns to All Day I Dream with a surprise debut album. The German trio is in fine form throughout "More Than A Machine", effortlessly moving between the hazy, slow burn dreaminess of glassy-eyed opener "Heaven's Gate", the deep Afro-house shuffle of "Whiteout", the tech-tinged ambient house hypnotism of "A Flock", the chiming melodies and hushed grooves of "Harps" and the hard-to-pigeonhole flex of "Essential Return", where a metronomic drumbeat is overlaid with metallic Indonesian instrumentation and woozy freestyle vocals.

Review: Lee Burridge's All Day I Dream label continues to roll out the most dreamy and escapist house grooves around. Always tinged with beauty and melancholy in equal measure, this latest offering comes from Argentinian Valdovinos. There is a new age ambiance and yawning architecture to these tunes that takes you out into wide open, sun drenched spaces. There is a real cosmic majestic to "C Moon" that makes it more suited for the after dark hours while "Night Whispers" also gets a little darker and freakier for the trippier moments of a set.

Review: Enduring underground stalwart Lee Burridge has carved out a cosy little space for himself with his dreamy, melancholic house label and party All Day I Dream. It is grown up music that deals in slow-release pleasures, and as the late summer sun throws out its final rays, he treats us to a sampler of recent highlights. Our picks: Squire's "Inimagina", which is an archetypal ADID cut with soft melodies and pillowy drums, YokoO & Retza's "Drifting" for those late, romantic nights thanks to the gooey chords, and Kevin Di Serna x Max & Nim's "Presence" which has the sort of yawning pads that have you craning your neck to the heavens. Along with plenty of other escapist grooves, it all adds up to a comprehensive overview of this cultured little crew.
