092: Lee Burridge

Lee Burridge has moved through four distinct chapters across his musical journey so far: Hong Kong. Tyrant. Burning Man. All Day I Dream. Each one fascinating in its own right, but together they trace a remarkable journey through underground dance music. On the latest episode of the House Culture Podcast, we talk to Lee about the years that shaped him in Hong Kong, the birth of Tyrant and the chemistry of playing alongside Sasha and Craig Richards, the freedom of those legendary Burning Man sets, and how a simple idea for a daytime party evolved into the global All Day I Dream family and record label. It’s a conversation about following your instincts, finding your people, and building worlds around the music you love.FOLLOW US Instagram: @houseculturenetSpotify: House Culture - Perfect PlaylistYouTube: @houseculturenet|| Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseculture.
