Lee traces the long, unlikely road to building All Day I Dream and why he let it grow slowly, on word of mouth, instead of chasing hype. He's candid on the realities of running a label on taste alone: the patience, the conviction to back a sound early, and how things you can't control — like how platforms categorize your music — can impact an artist's career.
For any DJ or producer, it's a masterclass in belief, patience, and protecting your sound when everything is changing around you.
