Lee Burridge releases first solo project in five years

Lee Burridge has returned with ‘Faze’ EP via All Day I Dream.

Five years is a long absence for an artist whose musical world rarely stands still. Lee Burridge spent that stretch expanding All Day I Dream across global dance-floors, while his own solo catalog remained comparatively quiet. In 2026, he deliberately made room to change that.

The result is ‘Faze,’ Burridge’s first solo project in five years. Released September 25 through All Day I Dream, the four-track EP follows a summer-long return to solo production. “Fading Out” broke the silence in July, while “Reaching Stars” followed in August. New tracks “Glow” and “Before I Lose Control” complete the project.

Rather than building four disconnected moments, ‘Faze’ follows the patient progression that has long defined Burridge’s sets. Warm melodies, airy vocals, and fluid grooves gradually shift the record from daytime brightness toward a deeper late-night atmosphere. “Fading Out” begins on the lighter end before “Before I Lose Control” closes the journey after dark.

That approach mirrors the world Burridge has spent years developing through All Day I Dream. The series began on a Brooklyn rooftop in 2011 before expanding internationally. Its identity has remained tied to extended musical journeys and open-air settings. EXRON previously captured that atmosphere through Burridge’s All Day I Dream residency at Cova Santa, where sets stretched from daytime into dusk.

Burridge entered 2026 with another packed global schedule, including an appearance on SXM Festival’s 2026 lineup. However, he stepped away from touring at the beginning of the year to focus on making music. That pause makes ‘Faze’ feel less like an isolated release and more like a deliberate return to his own catalog. The timing also overlaps with a reflective period in Burridge’s career. The documentary ‘Sound of a Dream’ traces his four decades in underground dance music. Directed by Hoj Jomehri, it follows his path through London, Hong Kong, Thailand, Burning Man, and eventually the creation of All Day I Dream.

His history remains visible in where Burridge plays today. EXRON has followed him from Day Zero Tulum to Art With Me Miami, reflecting how widely the All Day I Dream sound now travels. Yet one of his most significant recent performances brought him back to where the concept started. Just six days before ‘Faze’ arrived, Burridge returned to Brooklyn for an eight-hour open-to-close set at Industry City. With no supporting lineup, he controlled the full progression from afternoon into night. The format deliberately recalled All Day I Dream’s earliest New York events, when Burridge would regularly play the entire day himself.

That connection makes ‘Faze’ particularly fitting. The EP compresses the same philosophy into four tracks, favoring progression over immediate peaks and allowing its mood to evolve gradually. After five years without a solo project, Burridge’s return sounds rooted in the approach that shaped his career rather than a departure from it. His touring schedule now resumes with upcoming dates in Los Angeles and Montreal before continuing to Australia in November.
