Lee Foss | The Great Northern

Get ready for a special night of house music history and forward-thinking dance-floor energy as Lee Foss returns to The Great Northern in San Francisco on Saturday, October 17, 2026. Presented by SET Underground, the event runs from 9:30 PM to 2:00 AM and marks Foss’s first appearance at the venue with SET Underground since 2018.

For fans of deep grooves, acid textures, disco influences, and bass-forward house music, this is a night built around an artist whose career is deeply connected to the evolution of modern underground house. Foss came up through Chicago’s vibrant dance music culture during the 1990s, developing a musical foundation rooted in house and disco. His sound has continued to evolve over the years while maintaining that essential connection to groove, rhythm, and the dance floor.

A pivotal moment in Foss’s career came in 2001, when a trip to Ibiza led to his meeting with Jamie Jones. Their creative partnership eventually became Hot Natured, helping shape a distinctive strain of house music that connected classic influences with contemporary club production. Foss and Jones also co-founded Hot Creations in 2008, a label that went on to receive major recognition, including Record Label of the Year at the 2019 DJ Awards.

In 2018, Foss launched his own label, Repopulate Mars, further establishing his role as both an artist and tastemaker within the global electronic music community. The imprint earned DJ Mag’s Best Breakthrough Label award that same year, reinforcing Foss’s reputation for championing innovative club music and emerging talent.

Now, eight years after his previous SET Underground appearance at The Great Northern, Lee Foss returns to the same building for another night of high-energy underground house. Expect a set filled with infectious basslines, acid-tinged rhythms, disco-inspired grooves, and the kind of rolling momentum that keeps a dance floor moving well into the night.

The event takes place at The Great Northern, 119 Utah St, San Francisco, CA 94103, with the music running from 9:30 PM until 2:00 AM. The event is 21+.

Whether you have followed Lee Foss since his Chicago days, discovered his work through Hot Natured and Hot Creations, or simply appreciate expertly crafted underground house, this is an opportunity to experience a respected figure in the scene in an intimate club setting.

Saturday, October 17. Lee Foss. The Great Northern. SET Underground. 9:30 PM–2:00 AM.

Come ready for bass, groove, acid, disco, and house music—and a night that brings a familiar artist back to a familiar room for the first time in eight years.
