Originally from Chicago, Lee Foss discovered house music through the city’s legendary club scene before moving to Europe, where a chance meeting with Jamie Jones in Ibiza led to the creation of Hot Creations in 2008. Together, they helped spark the global tech house revival, introducing artists like Patrick Topping, Richy Ahmed, Solardo, and wAFF while establishing one of dance music’s most respected labels. He’s also one-half of Hot Natured, whose crossover success brought underground house to a much wider audience. Beyond Hot Creations, Foss launched Repopulate Mars, a label that champions groove-driven house and tech house while nurturing the next generation of producers. As a DJ, he’s known for effortlessly mixing soulful house, disco, Chicago grooves, and modern tech house into marathon sets that have become staples at DC-10 Ibiza, Club Space Miami, Coachella, and festivals around the world.
