Repopulate Mars 10 Year Anniversary

Gray Area presents a special night celebrating 10 years of Repopulate Mars, the label founded by Chicago born DJ and producer Lee Foss, alongside a special guest to be announced. On July 25, 2026, Foss returns to New York for a headline set at 99 Scott, marking a decade of one of house music’s most recognizable imprints.

Lee Foss grew up in Chicago, the birthplace of house music. During the 1990s he spent his formative years inside the city’s club scene, absorbing the sounds of classic house alongside R&B, hip hop, electro, and Detroit techno. His career gained international traction after a trip to Ibiza in 2001 where he met Jamie Jones. That meeting led to a creative partnership that produced the group Hot Natured and the influential label Hot Creations, which helped introduce a new wave of house artists during the early 2010s.

In 2016 Foss launched Repopulate Mars, a label that quickly became a major platform for new club records and emerging producers. The imprint has supported artists including John Summit, Mau P, Michael Bibi, and Joshwa, helping introduce them to wider audiences. Alongside the music, Repopulate Mars developed a striking visual concept inspired by life on another planet. Its events feature chrome styling, metallic fashion, and futuristic staging that reflect a world where music culture has been transported to Mars.

Over the past decade the brand has hosted events in cities across North America and Europe while building a catalog of club records that continue to shape modern dance floors.

This New York show celebrates the label’s ten year anniversary with Lee Foss at the helm and a special guest to be announced. The night brings the Repopulate Mars concept to 99 Scott, a warehouse venue known for large scale productions and immersive sound.
