Lee Burridge - BALANCE issue n°12.
Wonky, wobbly, bassline-driven, trippy, melodic, nasty, gentle, deep, beautiful, rocking and primarily… 100% Lee Burridge!
Lee Burridge is an inventive genius and manufacturer of great house music. This 3CD beauty is testament to that. Choca-full with the different elements of house music today, he fuses together the minimal to the techier acid-tinged numbers, the big room tracks and a few things you wouldn’t expect. “I always look on a mix CD project as a way of sharing, what is my opinion, good music with music freaks.” Says Lee, and this album truly embodies the very essence of what Lee is about.
CD1 combines achingly beautiful orchestral deep house with sheer simplistic minimalism. This is definitely the more chilled of the 3 and you can play it at home pre or post club. The unashamed-Grandeur of tracks like Efdemin’s ‘Bergwein’ and Kollektive Turmstrasse’s ‘ Tristesse’ lulls you with its hypnotic rhythms and then pulls you out with Dettman/Kock’s ‘Dawning’. The first mix closes with Paul Daley’s rerub of Jose Padilla’s ‘Adios Ayer’ which you should play as loud as possible on the best speakers you can find.
CD2 begins with Onur Ozer’s “Orion” which sweeps over you in only the way pure blissful electronic music can; close your eyes and listen to swooshy effects that are reminiscent of bees swarming past you – it’s surprisingly reassuring! This CD positively takes you on to the next level. You are there, in the club. It takes you on twists and turns especially with the Viewers ‘Blank Images’, whose scratchy synths wreak havoc with your mind. Closing with Martin Buttrich’s ‘Programmer’ it revs you up for the ensuing clubbier third mix.
CD3 is bouncier than its predecessor’s. Driving, throbbing basslines reigns supreme with Luca Bacchetti’s ‘Rolling Brooklyn’. Strange and wonderful bleepy synths and scratching snare drums consume the sound space and then you realise you are already half way through the CD, your feet twitching with the beats. Alexi Delano & Xpansul’s ‘Antioxidation’ changes the tone of the mix to introduce Patrice Baumel – ‘Just Electricity’, which put simply sums up the entire album.
Although all 3 CDs are different, there is a consistency, a fluidity that makes this release stand out.
“I wanted to make them all work as stand alone CD’s but still all fit together like a club set. I truly feel there is a real journey if you play them one after the other” says Lee. This album really does compel repeated listening.
Having featured the likes of James Holden, Chris Fortier, Desyn Masiello, Paolo Mojo and Luke Fair, Australia’s ‘Balance’ series have become an industry benchmark, to support its highly anticipated release, Lee will be embarking on a world tour.
In a career that now spans two decades, Lee is a globally acclaimed DJ who regularly appears in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJ list, and has rocked iconic festivals like Exit, Creamfields, Love Parade, Dance Valley, Ultra, Acafest and Coachella. He is an integral part Fabic, which is arguably one of the most pioneering clubs in the world.
He’s commanded no less than four compilations and has thrown his own fun fuelled parties at the Miami Winter Music Conference for the last three years’ running. Lee’s Miami shindigs are what DJs go to when they have some free time and want to cause havoc. Lee is of course only to happy to oblige and you can expect more of the same at WMC 2008.
