Following the critically acclaimed release of his most recent collaboration with Wuki To Be Real ft. Cheryl Lynn back in May, globally renowned DJ, producer and Repopulate Mars label boss Lee Foss now teams up with British artists and siblings RETNA and Isabellea for the trio’s red hot new single ‘Puppet on a String’.

Lee Foss needs little introduction; as one of the modern house scene’s most prominent names, his sets, productions and labels all deal in fresh sounds that consistently invigorate dance floors. On this latest hit, he works with London-based RETNA, a breakout DJ and producer who has already collaborated with Nic Fanciulli and Mark Knight, and his sister Isabellea, a talented vocalist with a distinct taste for the dystopian.

The trio cook up blazing grooves on ‘Puppet on a String’, with fizzing lead synths and a chunky tribal beat. Smart drum patterns and dramatic breakdowns build the mood, while Isabellea’s vocal is the soulful fuel that will set any dance floor alight.
