ADID NEWS FROM MIAMI’S WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE 2012
After our ridiculously successful first summer season in New York last year All Day I Dream has gently wandered to it’s pretty melodic grooves through winter time with parties at the BPM festival in Mexico, our event in Miami at WMC 2012 and even an ADID winter edition in New York one chilly Sunday afternoon in January. Held indoors (for the first time) the vaulted rooms of a huge photographic studio space in Brooklyn were transformed with our usual level of production. Thank you if you came along. An afternoon of gorgeous music lit by lanterns and candle light brought summer back to us all for a few hours. Sorry we couldn’t bring the blue skies and clouds indoors. We’re working on that!
It was our first event at the Miami Winter Music Conference and was held at Cafeina (a gorgeous walled patio). ADID is growing more beautiful by the day (party). Take a peek at our WMC photo album.
Our previous event at BPM festival in January, at the gorgeous mexican beach location of Playa Del Carmen, ended up being reported upon and cited by many as the (day) event of the festival. Finally, Matthew and I played together for the first time to a huge crowd. Endless smiles took us from early afternoon through sunset and into the night. Click here to see pictures courtesy of The BPM Festival. Following on from January’s success ADID was invited back by the organizers of BPM. Primavera, held Easter Weekend, moved venue from Mamita’s to Cannibal Royal. I was playing (sadly) without Matthew this time but my eleven hours on the decks were complimented by a great selection of tunes earlier in the day from NYC’s Stephanie. The crowd was predominantly Mexican this time around and after a strangely slow start to the day the party warmed up to become as hot as the sun that shone above us all day. I love the Mexican crowd!
So, back to the USA. We’ve almost finalized our dates for summertime in New York (and beyond). The first event of summer is planned for June 10th. We will continue with an event each month, July (the 4th anyone!!!), August and September. Watch this space and the look out for the single blue cloud for exact dates. To be the first to know please (if you haven’t done so already) please join our Facebook page.
Last year (due to the difficulty in finding any good outdoor venues without issues) we were unable to take the event to the West Coast. This year however things are looking much more promising. Upon writing this our first West Coast event will be on June 24th and we are hopeful that it will also continue through the summer as a twin to the New York events. This of course depends on your support and love!
If you are an adventurous sort and fancy a road trip (or air travel for the financially stable) ADID will be taking over Piknic Elecrtonik in Montreal on June 17th. We would love you to join us. I played the event a few years ago and it’s amazing. Every Sunday throughout summer they host a wonderful cross section of DJ’s at their outdoor party on an island in the river for a few thousand people. Montreal is a wonderful city to visit anyway so why not come enjoy it with us. More details to follow.
Keep an eye out at our events for some of the limited (and free) merchandise we are giving away. Stickers, fridge magnets and (rumor has it) All Day I Dream socks (with pockets!!). We’ve been giving these items to the people with the nicest smiles.
Over and out!!
Running consecutively alongside the ‘aLL dAy I dReam’ parties is our record label of the same; the label is run by myself and Matthew. Music will be available both on vinyl and digitally (BEATPORT.COM, RESIDENT ADVISOR.NET, WHATPEOPLEPLAY.COM). The label will represent the musical vibe of the parties. Each release is basking somewhere under the umbrella (or should that be parasol) of beautiful, melodic, warm, emotive, sexy, melancholic house music while still keeping it’s eyes on the dance floor (and your feet right there with them).
One of the greatest things (to me) about owning a record label that still releases vinyl is being able to do lovely artwork. We’ve just released All Day I Dream 002 (fur die liebe) and will be putting out ADID 003 in July. Thanks to Hoj’s wonderful design eye, our simple, beautiful single cloud sleeve design (every release has a different cloud) look amazing sitting next to each other. As the series grows I’m looking forward to a whole wall of clouds at home. We currently have our ADID scientists hard at work investigating whether a wall of our record sleeves (while listing to the music) helps with SAD (seasonal affective disorder). I’ll get back to you on that. Please feel free to email us any high resolution photographs of gorgeous single clouds you spot as you look skyward. You never know it might appear on one of our sleeves or posters for our events. If you do I’m sure we will be able to find something quite nice in return 
ADID 002 – Fur Die Liebe in original and dub form was released in March. Available on both vinyl (although I think we have sold out) and digitally it’s received universal love from friends, family and strangers alike. Thank you. It really is a very special track to both Matthew and I. Thank you to all the DJ’s such as, Art Department, Visionquest, Dixon, Agoria, Tiefschwarz, Ame, Radioslave, Sven Vath, Kiki, Soul Clap, Ellen Alien, Ibiza Global Radio and anyone else who charted it or played it. It was the mystery track I closed out my Robotheart Burning Man Set with in 2011 and, upon writing this, is still floating around the beatport tech house chart (although i’m sure I will fail to update this news for the next two months so it’s probably no longer there at all!). If you purchased it, thanks! We currently have over 43,000 hits on YouTube ( so, if it takes your fancy, please feel free to link it through your Facebook page and spread the love this track makes me feel every time I hear it.
Breaking news…please keep your eyes open for this too. We are in the process of having a video made for Fur Die Liebe by some totally amazing people. And when I say amazing I mean really amazing. I’ll let you know more as it develops but somehow Hoj has pulled together a group of creative people who work for the likes of Oliver Stone, Terrance Mallick, Radiohead, on the recent batman movies and more. WOW is all I can say!!
Dixon has remixed Matthew and I’s ‘Lost In A Moment’. How cool is that! Germany’s Innervisions has been one of my go to labels for many years. Home to a wide selection of rather cool artists such as Ame, Culoe de Song, Henrick Schwarz, Osunlade, Larry Heard and more, Matthew and I feel honored to be asked on board. The cherry on top was hearing that Dixon who LOVES the track did the remix of it which is rare for him. It will be out mid June. Watch this cloud!
To all producers out there. We are always looking for interesting new music that fits our sound. If you are interested in being part of our family please can you put your track(s) on Soundcloud and email the link to: alldayidreamofyou@gmail.com
On a final (musical) note Matthew and I’s second label in six months ‘Get Weird’ has it’s first release at the end of June. The labels sound is the night to ADID’s day. Now, putting the word “WEIRD” in a labels title might give you certain ideas. At some point I know we will find our way to the weirder end of what we play but the label will be all over the place for music we play after dark in clubs across the globe. One thing is for sure when it comes to each release. It will be music to make you wiggle your hips. Promise! Our first release features an amazing track from Konrad Black called ‘Devastator’ with Matthew’s and I’s dubby track ‘Tubby’ on the other side. Available in June on vinyl and as a digital download.
Until the next time dreamers. Watch this cloud!

Upon writing this we have finished the first summer season of the ‘aLL dAy I dreaM’ parties in New York. Although I’ve played many of the tracks at club events over the past few years, I wanted to play a full afternoon of totally gorgeous, melodic, melancholic, pretty house music since making the ‘all day i dream of her’ mix three years ago.. Only playing music that actually evokes a certain emotional response. Music that can make you smile and even cry sometimes (there were actually quite a few tears shed at the parties which was very touching). I have to say that each of the four parties this year were totally amazing. If you went to one you will know what I mean when I say this. The party quickly became something that belonged to everyone. Something we made our own. So many people added to each one with simple things like the way they dressed, make up, small additions to the booth (i liked the Tibetan flags) and more. Even though we experienced the threat of bad weather, which would have made the party impossible to put on, somehow it never happened. The love and positivity that surrounded all day i dream seemed to keep the storms at bay and, on july 4th, even gave us one of the most amazing sunsets I’ve ever seen. By the end of the summer I realized after each event that my face actually hurt from smiling so much. My face actually hurt in August from the most intense toothache I’ve ever had but even this drifted away when I started playing. Music can be so powerful at times.

Upon reading this, Matthew and I’s first release on our label ‘aLL dAy I drEAM’ is out both digitally and on vinyl. The first release sees our own track ‘Gemini Spell’ paired with the excellent Audiofly track ‘Sunrise BCN’.
Audiofly – Sunrise BCN – All Day I Dream by All Day I Dream
Matthew Dekay & Lee Burridge – Gemini Spell – All Day I Dream by All Day I Dream
This release will be followed by Fur Die Liebe towards the end of January 2012. This track is rather special to both Matthew and I and has seen more than a few tears shed this past summer at the all day i dream parties in new york and even by myself on the robotheart bus at burningman in early September. It really sums up the music set for release in 2012. Emotive, emotional, beautiful house music.
As the label grows we are going to be signing music with this same feeling. If you have any tracks (we only sign one for each release so please send your best track) then please email us a soundcloud link to alldayidreamofmusic@gmail.com.
The next aLL dAY i drEAm party will be on the beach in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico on January 7th as part of the BPM festival. Music by Lee Burridge and Matthew Dekay. Party info here.
We will also be holding a party in Miami at the Winter Music Conference on March 25th. Watch this space for details.
Wow, great news today. Mattew and I’s track ‘Lost in a moment’ has been picked up by Dixon for Germany’s Innervisions. I love that label!! More information to follow soon.
My lightning in a bottle mix from this year is now available for download. See below for the link. Enjoy!

Our first release on our own label “all day i dream” is out. See the all day i dream section below for details.
Our second release on Cecille follows on from Wongel (which incidentally was the labels biggest release of 2010). OUT OF ORDER is out now as part of their summer sampler.
September 2011 saw the release of our first remix together of Ian Pooley’s “GROOVE ME”. Released on Ian Pooleys ‘Pooled’ music label it received plays from the visionquest boys. I like that!! The track, reworked into a melodic, dubby groover with a bassline that takes its sweet time to drop is somewhat reminiscent of something matthew johnson might unleash upon you (thank Mike Khourey for that comparison). Probably the biggest track of the day at the Leftroom/Culpret party at sonar this year (my memory is somewhat hazy!) it had dj’s running to the booth to inquire who it was by. It’s initial gentle nature is deceptive as the melodic stab holds the groove and strings slowly work their way into your consciousness.
Over and out (of order)!!
