Sound of a Dream is more than just a music documentary — it’s an intimate portrait of Lee Burridge, an underground DJ whose life has been dedicated to one mission: bringing people together through sound.
Told through cinematic storytelling, rare archival footage, and deeply personal glimpses into Lee’s inner world, the film traces a career spanning more than 40 years. Along the way, Lee not only helped define a global sound but also inspired an entire generation of listeners.
From Village Pub to Global Stages
Lee’s journey begins in a small seaside village in the UK, where he played his very first DJ set at his father’s pub. What started as a humble beginning would eventually lead him to the world’s most celebrated stages — from London’s legendary Fabric to the surreal landscapes of Burning Man and the iconic grounds of Coachella. His story is one of persistence, passion, and transformation, fueled by the belief that music is a universal language of connection.
Beyond the Dancefloor
But Sound of a Dream doesn’t shy away from the sacrifices behind the success. The life of a touring DJ is often lonely, marked by constant travel, fleeting communities, and the toll of impermanence. For Lee, the pursuit of connection sometimes brought isolation — a paradox at the heart of his journey.
A Legacy of Sound and Community
Seeking deeper meaning, Lee began to craft a new kind of DJ mix — a sonic language built on emotion, longing, and beauty. This sound blossomed into All Day I Dream, his ethereal house project that grew from a heartfelt idea into a global movement. Today, All Day I Dream is more than just a record label or a festival series — it’s a worldwide community, and ultimately, Lee’s enduring legacy.
Directed by Hoj Jomehri, Sound of a Dream captures the ephemeral magic of Lee’s world — a life built on fleeting moments that ripple far beyond the dancefloor. At 77 minutes, this 2025 U.S. release is a meditation on passion, persistence, and the dream of connection that continues to inspire across generations.
