VENUE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Bussey Warehouse, 133 Rye Lane, Peckham, SE15 3ST
This party will be happening on a ridiculously awesome rooftop in Peckham, on top of the Bussey Building. The views are amazing, with the city on one side and countryside on the other - we were blown away when we first saw it. The venue is a 1 minute walk from Peckham Rye station, which can be reached in 10 minutes from London Bridge station. Alternatively, you can take the 78 bus direct from Shoreditch.
As you know by now, krankbrother are committed to bringing you the most forward thinking dance music in unique and often un-used locations. This party is no different people. For the first in a series of summer daytime roof parties, we bring you a 3 hour set from one of the pioneers of modern house music, Lee Foss of Hot Natured / Crosstown Rebels. He'll be supported by some seriously sexed up sounds from the krankbrothers. The sound will be powered by Funktion One, and installed by the awesome Sound Services.
There will be a cocktail bar, Pimms and a damn fine BBQ.
And there's more! The after-party will take place downstairs within the same building, which is also a totally awesome space. If we have rain, we can also start the party downstairs early. This promises to be one of the parties of the summer - and there are very limited tickets available - last year we were hugely oversubscribed so snap yours up pronto. A ticket gives you entry to both the roof party and the after party!

Lee Foss:
Few DJs have made such a dramatic impact on the underground house and techno scene over the last two years as Hot Creations label owner Lee Foss. Described by DJ Mag as “one of the most talented new forces in modern dance music today” and by fellow future house innovators Art Department as their favourite producer, Lee has quickly catapulted himself into dance music’s collective consciousness. Lee and his Hot Natured partner Jamie Jones currently spearhead a whole family of like-minded producers that includes Robert James, Russ Yallop, Richy Ahmed and most recently Danny Daze who are currently re-writing the rulebook of how to make evocative and emotive house music.
Born and raised in Chicago, the birthplace of house, Lee now lives between London and Los Angels. Lee made his name on both sides of the Atlantic playing at clubs like The Standard Rooftop (Lost Angeles), fabric (London), The Marcy Hotel (Brooklyn), Watergate (Berlin), Spybar (Chicago) and DC10 (Ibiza). Lee’s rapid rise to prominence has been as much down to his unified but all-encompassing approach to DJing as it has to his pioneering take nu school house and synth-heavy techno, backed up by a string of hit releases on labels like No 19, Culprit, Wolf+Lamb and his own Hot Creations imprint. His unique sound, born out a lifelong love of classic house, 90s hip hop, 80s electro and Detroit techno, combined with fanatical grassroots support from clubbers in both Europe and North America, made him the highest new entrant in Resident Advisor’s Top 100 DJs poll last December, coming in at number 36.
With this many accolades under his belt in such a short space of time, it would be easy for Lee to rest on his laurels but this couldn’t be farther from the case. Having just unleashed arguably this summer's biggest house track in ‘Forward Motion’ (his latest Hot Natured production with Jamie Jones), he’s currently in the studio with Jamie Jones and ‘Forward Motion’ vocalist Ali Love putting the finishing touches on their forthcoming Hot Natured debut album, which he’s producing alongside his own debut artist album due out later this year. With plans to turn Hot Natured into a fully formed live act and tour it globally in 2012, this is already shaping up to be a career-defining year for Lee Foss.
