Gray Area presents a special night celebrating 10 years of Repopulate Mars, the label founded by Chicago born DJ and producer Lee Foss. Joining him are Deeper Purpose, Wheats, Philadelphia based DJ and producer Oscar N, local favorites Nadia and TheConnect. 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 

, which helped introduce a new wave of house artists during the early 2010s.

London based producer Deeper Purpose joins the lineup for the Repopulate Mars anniversary celebration in what feels like a true full circle moment. Over the years, Deeper Purpose has become one of the standout names connected to Lee Foss and the Repopulate Mars catalog, releasing major records on the label including “Activate” while continuing to build momentum through releases on Catch & Release, Toolroom, Experts Only, Insomniac, and more. 

His touring schedule has brought him to stages and venues including EDC Las Vegas, Hi Ibiza, Club Space, Day Trip LA, and Pacha NY, making him a fitting addition to a night celebrating ten years of Repopulate Mars and the artists connected to its rise.

Joining Lee is Wheats. The UK-artist has steadily built a name in the underground house scene, releasing tracks on his own label, BOX RED, as well as on major imprints like Hot Creations and Solid Grooves. His work has caught the attention of influential figures like Jamie Jones, Michael Bibi, and Marco Carola, who have championed his releases.

Rounding out the bill is Philadelphia based DJ and producer Oscar N, whose releases have earned support from artists including Jamie Jones and Kyle Watson. With appearances at Amsterdam Dance Event and Elements Music Festival already under his belt, he joins the celebration alongside locals favorite TheConnect and Nadia, who will open the night.

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. The night brings the Repopulate Mars concept to 99 Scott, a warehouse venue known for large scale productions and immersive sound.
