Calling all house music lovers! On October 19th, we are happy to welcome renowned DJ and producer 

 to Manhattan’s premier nightclub, Musica. Born and raised in Chicago, the birthplace of house, Foss has been a major figure in the house music scene, co-founding the award-winning record labels Hot Creations, Repopulate Mars, South of Saturn, and North of Neptune.

Foss is celebrated for curating some of the most exciting sets, hosting the best events, and signing top talent such as Mau P, John Summit, Max Styler, and Matroda. His career took off after a fateful meeting with Jamie Jones in Ibiza, leading to the formation of Hot Creations and their Hot Natured project. Foss has been instrumental in shaping modern house and tech house, with his labels continuously delivering top-charting tracks.

My Humps

In 2010, he was the highest new entry into Resident Advisor’s key Top 100 DJs poll, and by 2011 he had climbed to number 18 in the chart, a huge feat given that he only played his first European gig in 2009.

Turning Tricks

Hot Creations, founded with Jamie Jones, is renowned for its deeper, groovier, and more European-inspired house tracks, playing a crucial role in modern house music. Repopulate Mars, which ranked #3 on Beatport overall, focuses on larger, mainstream tech house artists, blending underground and mainstream sounds in a seamless, groovy way.

South of Saturn, another of Foss’s innovative ventures, is dedicated to nurturing up-and-coming talent. This label supports younger artists and those with smaller fan bases who share the sound and spirit of Repopulate Mars. By providing a platform for these emerging artists, South of Saturn ensures a fresh influx of new talent into the scene, keeping the music fresh and evolving.
