TRIP THE LIGHT FANTASTIC, DANCE THE SWIVEL HIPS....

"A Bozak, basement, three turntables and the best crowd in the world…" Drawing inspiration from the decadent Richard Long & Associates sound systems (RLA) of New York's & Chicago’s disco, post disco & house era’s (Paradise Garage, Studio 54, Muzic Box etc) and the freeform styles of the original eclectic dj's - David Mancuso, Larry Levan, Ron Hardy, Daniele Baldelli etc - Supermax is where fashionistas, muzic freaks & wild thangs get down to the audiosexual soundtrack of Glaswegian discotheque grand master DJ Billy Woods, organiser of Supermax alongside partner in crime, fashion stylist Lisa Ringrose.

"Supermax creator, Billy Woods has acquired somewhat of a cult following in Glasgow and in our opinion provided the catalyst for a renewed passion for disco in our city. Incorporating a wide array of material in his sets - from the likes of Walter Carlos' "Sonic Seasonings" to the rarest of rare disco records, embracing old and new, billy is truly a champion of the unexpected." (Optimo, 2011)

Hailed as "Glasgow's King of Disco" by internationally renowned dj duo Optimo thanks to his genre bending, no boundaries approach to djing during the 90's & 00's - a scene that has gone global in recent years with the success & interest in artists such DJ Harvey, Lindstrom, Prins Thomas and events such as 'Horse Meat Disco' ….and having performed alongside all but few of the djing greats that are still with us - legends that include Francois Kervorkian, Daniele Baldelli, Nicky Siano & Danny Krivit - Billy's focus in recent years has been in developing 'Supermax' with partner Lisa ....the name inspired by the music of Kurt Hauenstein's legendary cult band 'Supermax' who's music Billy pioneered for so many years ago!

"Supermax, 'Fly with me'. Sometimes I wish I lived in Estonia or somewhere like that where this disco Lemmy is bigger than Elvis and you can't get in a taxi without hearing his tripped out drugathons" - DJ Harvey

Bucking the trend of the corporate dance music media driven guest DJ circuit Supermax is built around the firm conviction that the best clubs & parties are based around resident dj’s and clientele eg. David Mancuso's Loft, Larry Levan's Paradise Garage, Ron Hardy's Music Box, Frankie Knuckles Warehouse, Baldelli & Mozart's Cosmic Club, Junior Vasquez's Sound Factory, Paul Trouble Anderson's Loft, Dj Harvey's Sarcastic Disco.

High quality audio reproduction is fundamental to any great party and inspired by his meetings with David Mancuso back in the 90's Billy's aim has been to provide a world class audio & dance floor experience with a particular focus on showcasing beautifully mastered original vinyl records particularly 12 in disco records from the golden age of vinyl mastering.

The Supermax sound system, acoustic treatment & sound management is courtesy of local world-class club sound system engineer, loudspeaker designer and long-term Supermax collaborator Rory Watson of We Enjoy Sound and includes custom designed Volt & BMS driven loudspeakers, Jabo horns, MC2 power, and acoustic room treatment.

Billy is a pioneer in the use of rotary DJ mixers thanks to their generally speaking superior sound reproduction quality, having been the first dj in the country to utilise specially imported ‘original’ Bozak mixers at his Outer Drive & Supermax parties (including a rare early D model Bozak that was originally installed at Legendary 70’s Fire Island discotheque ‘The Ice Palace’) back in 2002 and more recently being the first dj in the country to employ an ‘Isonoe’ rotary mixer which was personally built for Billy by the worlds finest mixer designer Justin Greenslade in 2016. Legendary venues & events such as Spiritland, Public Records, Brilliant Corners, Beauty & the Beat etc have all followed suit and only a handful of unique custom Isonoe mixers exist having been designed & built for an illustrious clientele - Dixon, Floating points, Despacio, Spiritland, Brilliant Corners, Public Records NYC & Theo Parrish.

Each month the Supermax production team spend several hours on the day of the party installing Billy's personal DJ set up, Technics GR turntables, Isonoe mixer, mirror balls, decorations, projections etc all of which is lovingly put together to ensure a dance floor experience that is genuinely like no other.

Supermax aims to present an alternative to the audio destroying digitally quantised, auto-synched format of dj’ing that currently dominates the scene including presenting beautifully mastered original disco 12 inch records the way they were intended to be heard on an audiophile sound system set up in keeping with the tradition of the original freeform dj’s – Larry Levan, David Mancuso & Ron Hardy - and their respective venues.

At 16 years & counting Supermax is possibly the longest running *genuine* 'resident only' underground dance party anywhere in the world today and a throwback to an era where dj's would take control of the music selection, environment & experience across the entirety of the night, all the while developing a sense of community, mutual experience, continuity & rapport with the dancer.

At SuperMax you will experience just how incredible an original disco 12 inch record can sound on Glasgow's finest club sound system set up and encounter a soundtrack & experience that will expand your mind and open your eyes & ears to the possibilities!

Expect a heady cocktail of the super obscure alongside the unexpected, from past, present & future + an ample helping of Billy’s exclusive curveballs edits - many of which have gained support & play from and inspired none other than cult figure DJ Harvey - thrown in for good measure, all within a hot, dark, smoky environment that evokes the raw sensibilities of pre-commercialised club going. If you're limited Supermax is limited... but if you're great SuperMax is your fate.

SuperMax is for connoisseurs, artists, hardcore hedonist, disco purists, wild thangs & anyone with an open mind!

BILLY WHO?
Eclectic, expansive, outrageous and possessing the unique ability to traverse a wide variety of musical styles with consummate ease all the while tearing up the dance floor rulebook in the process, DJ Billy Woods radical selections & unorthodox approach are as likely to challenge & confound those of the most flexible of musical tastes as they are to inspire those of the most hardened opinions to re-engage and embrace genres, songs & tracks they may have previously dismissed as out-dated, unfashionable, unthinkable and unworkable.

This could include anything as outlandish as drenching party-goers in a ten minute long sonic thunderstorm only to bring down the house with a maelstrom of dance floor friendly rock or having the sheer audacity to drop one of his hour long edits to the ecstatic response of party revellers should a promoter dare book him to play a mere one hour slot. When you hear Billy DJ you can expect the unexpected, yet as those who’ve experienced him in action will testify however far out the music gets somehow his sets always manage to come together all at once, often in the most unlikely or unexpected of ways, to make perfect sense just in time for re-entry.

Always ready to enthusiastically embrace new styles while paying homage to the past and challenging club goers preconceptions about what club music could or should be, Billy is truly a visionary DJ who inspires & influences his peers & contemporaries alike, both directly & indirectly, regardless of whether they are aware of it or are prepared to acknowledge it.

Having revived local interest in disco through his freeform approach to djing during the 90’s and permanently sold out 5 year Melting Pot residency of the noughties and having pioneered the use of rotary dj mixers and audiophile sound systems long before trends caught up through being the first dj in the country to employ Bozak & Isonoe mixers & custom built audiophile sound systems at his cult like 20 year Supermax & Outer Drive disco odysseys, Billy is almost uncannily ahead of the curve. When he takes to the decks whether an aficionado or not you cannot walk away, you cannot fail to be inspired & you cannot resist the urge to give in to the dance!
