Overview
Repopulate Mars is a prominent record label and event brand in the electronic dance music scene. Founded in 2016 by Lee Foss, a Chicago-born DJ and producer, the brand quickly established itself as a force in the tech-house genre. Foss, who gained fame as a member of the DJ supergroup Hot Natured and as a co-founder of the influential label Hot Creations with the global phenomenon Jamie Jones, envisioned Repopulate Mars as a platform for a new wave of house music.
Ibiza, with its reputation for being the ultimate summer destination for electronic music lovers, became a natural extension for Repopulate Mars, hosting events that quickly became must-attend parties. The brand has grown a reputation for its high-energy performances, eclectic line-ups featuring both established and emerging artists, and a futuristic, space-themed aesthetic that makes partygoers feel like they are part of something outside of the norm.
The rise of Repopulate Mars in Ibiza coincided with a broader shift in the island's music scene towards more underground and tech-house sounds, moving away from the more commercialized EDM that had dominated in previous years. The label's events have been hosted at some of Ibiza's most iconic venues such as the outdoor venue of Cova Santa and Eden, and its parties often feature surprise performances by top-tier DJs, creating an aura of exclusivity and excitement.
In addition to its Ibiza presence, Repopulate Mars has expanded its influence globally, with events in major cities including Miami, Tulum, and London, and a growing roster of artists releasing music on the Repopulate Mars record label including Joshwa, Mau P, and Detlef. This global reach, combined with its strong Ibiza roots, has solidified Repopulate Mars as a leading brand in the house and tech-house scenes.
By combining a forward-thinking musical direction with the eclectic culture of Ibiza, Repopulate Mars has not only contributed to the island's ongoing legacy as the ultimate party destination but has also helped shape the future of electronic dance music.
