CĒF is an electronic music DJ based in San Francisco, California, who builds moving narratives through his iconic dreamy, melancholic, and deep sounds.

He draws his inspiration from the many different cultures and communities he’s experienced across the globe ‒ from his childhood home in Morocco to his time living in France, the U.K., Germany, and the U.S.

CĒF developed a unique ability to connect with and respond to the varied moods of his listeners through a dynamic range of style and story and curiosity, and openness to exploring new forms and techniques.

In 2018, CĒF co-founded Demure Circle, an electronic music collective based in San Francisco. Demure Circle hosts intimate underground parties throughout the Bay Area, at which CĒF is a frequent performer. Artists on Demure Circle played alongside international DJs such as Âme, Adriatique, Claptone, Satori, Gab Rhome, and Hernan Cattaneo.

CĒF is also often invited to play as a guest in international electronic music podcasts and shows, including The Gardens of Babylon, When We Dip, Frisky Radio, Tanzgemeinschaft, Deep House Paris, Bucharest, Moscow, and Vancouver as well as Sweet Space.

I've been a DJ for a while. I kind of like it.

All Day I Dream explores beautiful, emotional and melancholic shades of House and Techno through its label's releases, events and artists.

All Day I Dream events began on a Brooklyn rooftop back in 2011 and have since become an international sensation. Around the world, crowds continue to be drawn to the experience and to become a part of it's community. Spurred on by the music of Lee Burridge and his unique roster of artists, each brings his or her own emotive musical vision to the daytime party. Sounds that are all too rare in the current electronic music scene.

Each year the events continue to spread out across the world. From Los Angeles to London. Melbourne to Moscow, Berlin to Beirut to Brazil and back to their spiritual home base of New York City. They continue to flourish due, in part, to a core ideal. To create something truly magical. The passion to create magic manifests itself  both in those organizing as well as those attending the events.  

All Day I Dream also continually forges it's own unique ambience through a combination of the musical journeys taken by it's listeners as well as noteworthy venue choices. Each location transformed with the event's bespoke production design. Structural art, hanging gardens, colourful fabrics, fairy lights and lanterns. All melded together to fashion an unparalleled, irresitable atmosphere.

Robot Heart is a collective of doers and dreamers, artists and entrepreneurs. Our home is in the desert dust of Burning Man, and the streets of New York City, Detroit, Bay Area and Hong Kong. Home is wherever the Heart is.

Robot Heart is a community and a family, and our events are an extension and celebration of that community, bound together by shared values of inclusion, giving, environmental responsibility and mutual respect.

Music is our first language, and our mission is to bring love and beats to the world. We work with and support artists, technologists and visionaries of all types in order to create incredible experiences and connected moments. To create love and beats, for you.
