Chicago-born tastemaker Lee Foss returns to his Repopulate Mars label on 16th May 2025 with ‘Hold On’, joining forces with fast-rising Brazilian talent Roddy Lima, a frequent Beatport chart-topper and Pete Tong favourite, who comes fresh from his debut US tour. ‘Hold On’ channels both artists’ signature styles into a no-holds-barred dancefloor weapon. Wiggling, stripped-back drums and addictive basslines drive the groove, while sparkling synth sequences and trippy sirens look to the future. A filtered vocal lends a cyborg-like edge to the track, complemented by warped stabs for maximum late-night impact.
“Collaborating with Lee Foss on ‘Hold On’ at his studio in Los Angeles was an unforgettable experience. We fused our artistic visions, and the vibe was electric as we explored various sounds to create the final product. Together, we found the perfect balance to create a track that resonates on the dance floor and beyond.” – Roddy Lima.
Heading up one of the most popular modern house labels of now, Lee Foss’ influence can be heard across clubs, charts, and radio waves worldwide. Founded in 2016, his Repopulate Mars imprint and its subsequent offshoots have unearthed and provided a home for some of modern house music’s biggest stars, from Mau P to John Summit. Following his recent supergroup link-up with Detlef and TheConnect on ‘Pony’, Foss now unveils another standout collaboration – this time with Roddy Lima on the electrifying ‘Hold On’.
You can now listen to the full premiere of ‘Hold On’ exclusively on When We Dip. Enjoy!
