Lee Foss

🚧 bumpy chicago house + techno

from illinois and chicago based, with a nineties adolescence in that city doing most of the work on his taste. resident advisor files him under underground house and techno, and the influence list he gives runs chicago house, r&b, nineties hip hop, eighties electro and detroit techno.

in 2008 he and Jamie Jones founded Hot Creations, which is one of the two or three labels this whole page keeps circling back to. he entered resident advisor's top 100 djs at number thirty eight in 2010, the highest new entry that year, and was up to eleven by 2011. the two of them also record together as hot natured.

I consider myself a musician first, instead of a dj

in 2018 he started Repopulate Mars, which dj mag named best breakthrough label that year, and it has become the home for a lot of what is on this page. JOSHWA's My Humps, made with foss, came out on it and is the biggest record either of them has. CID and joshwa put How We Do out there in 2022. he also made 1, 2 Step with SIDEPIECE that year and Free with a trak.

2026 has been a steady run on his own label, Smack That with polovich in january, Cult Of Bass in may and Party Monster in june, plus a remix of marshall jefferson's Move Your Body for helix in february.
