It’s been a while since our last Foundations night but this one will have been well worth waiting for. Lil Louis is a founding architect of house music, a Chicago native whose productions—most famously French Kiss—stretched the genre’s possibilities, warping time and teasing tension with hypnotic finesse. As a DJ, he plays with the patience of a storyteller and his sound—sensual, moody, deeply human—carries the raw emotional charge of house music’s early days, one rooted in sweat-drenched warehouses and late-night longing. Unlike many of his peers, he’s remained enigmatic, surfacing sporadically but always with purpose. We’re absolutely honored to host a man who doesn’t just play house music—he seduces, disrupts, and reinvents it. Louis is joined by The Lot Radio resident, Kfeelz, whose take on selecting records has been filtered through the eclectic sounds of her upbringing in New York. With her charismatic command of everything from funk to post-punk and of course, house music, we can’t think of a better fit to kick things off on this special night. /// RSVP is $10 before 11pm and $15 before midnight. An RSVP is good for one person. If you're bringing friends, please have them RSVP here as well. We stop taking RSVPs at 6pm on the day of the party. In order to receive the RSVP discount, you must be at the ticket desk by the cutoff time and not just in line. It's wise to arrive early to make sure you're not standing in line when the time comes. An RSVP does not guarantee entry. Sometimes parties do sell out, so if you want to be sure you'll get in, it's best to grab a ticket in advance.
