Synopsis
Album DescriptionIt is of no surprise that Lee Burridge has been tagged to present the second installment of Global Underground?s 24:7 series, although, 24:7 is much more than a series. It transcends the confines of a single mix, a single night, one club or one style. It is the way that life sounds from the inside-out for a DJ that can?t get the music out of his system. Lee Burridge has come a long way from his days zooming around the UK as a mobile disco DJ in 1985. He was later discovered by Sasha and Craig Richards and they eventually persuaded him to return to Britain (from his then home, Hong Kong) to start the now legendary Tyrant nights. (This night was later documented on his Tyrant mix albums. Burridge has worked hard, touring the globe and establishing an enviable reputation for wide-ranging DJ sets comprising of - Techno, House, deep grooves and Breakbeat. He has an ability to flip genres like a magician flipping tricks. Just as you're settling into a whacked-out echo chamber groove, you're whisked into silky deep house heaven and you don?t know how you got there! Futuristic breakbeats crash into pulsing hi-NRG house and then into powerful bass-led grooves with floating flutes overhead. The genius of a mad mixologist!

Sky P. (kalanaka) from PORTLAND, OR Reviewed on 6/23/2010... First off, you know you can usually trust the Global Underground label. They know how to pick quality djs. If you've never heard of Lee Burridge - this set reminds me a bit of Sasha, Digweed, and Sander Kleinenberg (who he's toured and done a disc with before). Very catchy, fun, danceable (with some nice crossovers between house and electronic styles). Check out my favorite track '2 after 909' - it's crazy catchy and kind of makes me think of a Deadmau5 - style track.

Ah, now this is better Anand Subramaniam | Chennai, INDIA | 01/28/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "By implication, the 24:7 concept is going to contain some quite eclectic track selection, irrespective of which edition it is, or who the DJ in question is. This may be the one thing that became a self-imposed spanner in the works for Danny Howells - the eclecticism worked beautifully in the Day disc, but came sorta unglued in the Night disc. Lee Burridge - no problem. Eclecticism for most people is just another day in the office for him. It shows on this mix.Disc 1 - Day is just as good as Howells' effort, if not better. The mood is different, reflecting typical Burridge diversity with spacey echoes, whacked out breakbeat and some deep house vibes thrown in for good measure. The mixing is, as always, impeccable, and Burridge shows great judgement in his programming. The stand-out quality in this disc is the clear, clean progression that Burridge establishes without degenerating into samey-sounding house beats and techno-clacks. If Howells had you introspecting peacefully with his Day disc, Burridge has you bobbing about in your chair with a wide grin on your face - there's a bouncy, feel-good quality about this disc that's hard to describe.Disc 2 - Night is where Burridge scores over Howells hands down. His NuBreed effort was, IMHO, the most under-rated of the entire series, whipping from mushroom-house to deep house to techno to deep house to breaks effortlessly. He shows this same ability in this disc, all the while retaining a definite danceable vibe. I still rate the Day disc better, but this one doesn't leave you feeling flat. Good representation of Lee Burridge DJing into the night, methinks.If you're new to the 24:7 series, start with this album before listening to the first edition by Howells. It will give you a much better first impression. If you like Disc 1 but wish Disc 2 was a little better - buy the NuBreed by him and listen to it. If you don't like Disc 1, I'm sorry, but this series ain't for you.Disc 1 - 5 stars
Disc 2 - 3.5 stars
Overall - 4.25 stars."
