Lee Foss and Jamie Jones celebrate 15 years of Hot Creations label
Lee Foss and Jamie Jones celebrate 15 years of Hot Creations, reflecting on its house music legacy.
Lee Foss and Jamie Jones are marking 15 years of their influential Hot Creations label, a milestone Foss celebrated on Instagram with a heartfelt reflection: “It’s hard to believe it’s been 15 years since @jamiejonesmusic put his trust in me to start a label together.” The Chicago-born Foss and Welsh maestro Jones have shaped modern house music since launching the label in 2010, reflecting on the “mad heady days” of Ibiza that inspired its early sound.
Hot Creations has released over 100 tracks, launching careers for artists like Patrick Topping and Richy Ahmed while becoming a cornerstone of the genre. Foss, who met Jones in Ibiza in the early 2000s, credits those formative years for the label’s direction, blending Chicago house influences with Jones’s marathon sunrise sets. Jones, a globally revered DJ behind the Paradise event series, has toured relentlessly—from Burning Man to Womb Tokyo—solidifying his iconic status.
Foss has been open about his personal growth lately, which adds a special layer to this anniversary. In 2023, he posted about his decision to stay sober until 2025, focusing on getting healthier and sharper. This change has sparked a wave of creativity for him, with new music on the way—including a confirmed album—plus some TV writing projects and more work with his Repopulate Mars label, all while getting props from friends like John Summit. It’s clear Foss is bringing the same energy to his life now that he and Jones poured into starting Hot Creations, a label that keeps bringing the house music world together.
Looking back, Hot Creations started with those wild Ibiza nights and grew into something global, showing what Foss and Jones built together. Fans can check out the label’s history and new releases on its official site, where the next part of this 15-year story is just getting started.
