ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: LEE REYNOLDS 🫶🏼
From BMX ramps to SoCal warehouses, Lee Reynolds has been part of the culture for decades.
He started collecting records at 10, picked up his first BMX at 11, moved to San Diego in ’88, and by ’92 was DJing and hosting chill-out rooms at early raves and warehouse parties.
Fast forward 34 years and Papa Lee has released dozens of records, played thousands of events around the world, and spent 14 years touring with the crew he helped co-found, Desert Hearts.
His sets pull from everywhere, always eclectic, always extended, always with plenty of room to get lost in the music.
And now, he’s bringing all of that history, heart and dancefloor energy to the little festival that could. 🌞
Welcome back to SSBD, Papa Lee. 🦋
