While growing up in Chicago, Foss went to a lot of clubs and raves in the 1990s which sparked his interest in
house and
disco. “I was making music for years on my own in Chicago in Logic and not really getting very far”, he says, “Except for when I would do edits which I would send to my friends who were bigger DJs and they would love [them]”. The pair quickly became close friends, paving the way for their Hot Creations label partnership with Richy Ahmed and later their
Hot Natured band project with
Infinity Ink (Ali Love and Luca C), as well as their Paradise event brand.
