FTVS favorite Lee Foss is surely the most handsome DJ/producer in the world. He also probably makes sex with women that are maybe only imaginary because they are so attractive and penis hemorrhaging.

In addition, Lee produces very good music with FTVS intern Jamie Jones under the guise of Hot Natured, is an integral artist on the Droog boys’ label Culprit (upon which his new EP The Edge is being released), and helps organize tautologically raucous parties that wreak havoc across Los Angeles each spring and summer.

Let us commence.

Hello Lee. Careful research revealed that a) FTVS readers prefer to read bout sex-related stories, and b) Los Angeles residents engage in more group sex every year than the average American. How did your group sex consumption change after relocating to LA from Chicago?

Ha, not only has my group sex consumption not increased, my overall sex consumption has recently decreased from one to zero.

Jamie Jones and your good self, the two parts of Hot Natured’s sexual whole, share wondrous hair with a harmonious hairline and no signs of recession. Was this uncanny and almost impossible similarity what attracted you to one another to produce music? Will you two launch a Hot Natured line of gel?

The funny thing he is always accusing me of starting to lose my hair, so I guess this is one less joke he can make.

It enrages FTVS (and its readers) that your life is most probably not unlike an American Apparel advertisement shot and curated by Dov Charney. Is your reality comprised of anything other than sun-drenched house and techno, and frolicking  geometrically-attentive sweet babies?

I suppose I can say that my life is definitely filled with sun drenched house and techno, it could probably use a few more American Apparel models but whose couldn’t?  Though to be fair I think my friends and I hang out with some pretty cool girls who are attractive and frolic regularly, not sure how attentive they are.

FTVS could not but notice the MKS/MPG-80 on your MySpace. How essential is this item in cooking up a robust batch of duck butter? What other hardware does your palate prefer?

Yeah I really like the MKS-80, it’s definitely been used quite a bit on  my upcoming releases and album, though to be honest it’s been out of commission a few times this year.  Been spending way too much money repairing old Roland synths!  I use that Roland MKS-80, a Roland Juno 106, a Minimoog Voyager, and occasionally a Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 08.  Jamie and I used a Roland Jupiter 8 on one of our forthcoming Hot Natured releases and that’s my favorite synth I’ve used by far, will definitely be picking one of those up down the road. To be honest the Juno 106 gets the most work of my gear.

The bassline on Charmer is gratifyingly potbellied. To what extent can we credit the MKS-80 with consecrating such a rotund sound? FTVS enjoys hearing this one on the Standard Rooftop.

Well glad to hear you like the track, I actually think that particular bass I got out of the Juno, but the MKS-80 does have some great bass sounds.

Another recent survey conducted by Gallop and the FTVS intern squadron indicates most techno producers are Caucasian. Is techno music thus racist, like NASCAR?

I think it is some kind of conspiracy headed by the National Hockey League. My friend Rafeeq once told Lee Curtiss that his basslines are racist, so there could be something to this.

Dear Lee, do not worry. It is almost over. Please follow these instructions. Go to your own MySpace and set Leectric Feel (MGMT re-edit) to the 1:00 mark. Click play and then watch the video pasted below. Describe your emotion. FTVS is reminded of Bill Patrick.

Yeah, me too.

FTVS will throw a party as soon as FTVS musician and editor Jack Colt figures out how to plug his TB-303 into his Toshiba computer (live set). Will you DJ for free (opening DJ for Jack Colt) and provide many hundreds of libidinous gentlewomen? Of course you will. You are so handsome.

How many hundreds of gentlewomen?

Tell us about Lee Foss in 2010.

Hmm 2010 should be really cool.  Have a couple releases on Culprit and Wolf + Lamb to finish 2009, then we have a Hot Natured release on Culprit out the beginning of 2010, then a remix EP, then my debut album comes out on Culprit in early April which I am really excited about.  I’m going to work on a live set for Miami which will be a first for me. Jamie and I will also launch our own label, and continue to to do Hot Natured parties and original material and edits for our label and the other labels we’ve been working with till now.

I’ll probably spend about 1/3 of my time in London next year, and  I’m looking forward to being around my group of friends there, as I haven’t been able to see as much of them as I would have liked the last few years.  I’ll also probably spend a lot of time in NY with the Wolf + Lamb guys, and  I already cant wait for next year’s round of Standard parties in LA and the scene continuing to grow here and Culprit continuing to grow as well.

You’re welcome Lee. About 400 gentlewomen will suffice. FTVS will tenderize them all whilst playing a game of find the fishsticks, to which The Edge EP will undoubtedly serve as a most suitable soundtrack.
