As the rain started to fall, Repopulate Mars label head Lee Foss took the stage to give the crowd a sweet taste of his tech-house sound. Rinsing tracks like “Summertime Chi”, “Lies, Deception, and Fantasy”, and more, Lee Foss reminded New York City why he’s remained at the forefront of the genre for the past decade. He effortlessly commanded the crowd throughout his set and continued to build the momentum for the following acts.
