"A Bozak, basement, three turntables & the best crowd in the world..." Drawing inspiration from the decadent Richard Long & Associates sound systems (RLA) of New York & 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 & DJ Harvey - Supermax is where fashionistas, music freaks & wild things get down to the no holds barred audio sexual soundtrack of DJ Billy Woods.

"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 of 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' the name inspired by the music of Kurt Hauenstein's legendary cult band 'Supermax' who's music Billy pioneered so many years ago!

We’ll be installing Billy’s personal bespoke DJ set up, including Technics GR turntables, 'one of a kind' Isonoe rotary mixer & custom Nagaoka carts into the Berkeley Suite's jaw droppingly good sound system designed & built by close collaborator & friend Rory Watson of We Enjoy Sound system to give you an audio experience like no other!

We'll be installing mirrorballs, high powered disco lighting, projections, balloons & decorations, all to transform The Berkeley Suite into the ultimate disco pleasure palace playground you deserve!

Where else are you going to be able to get down to beautifully mastered original disco 12 inch records the way they were intended to be heard on the finest club sound system set up you're ever likely to experience in keeping with the tradition of the original disco dj’s - Larry Levan, David Mancuso & Ron Hardy etc - and their respective venues?

If you're limited Supermax is limited, but if you're great SuperMax is your fate... Come See What It's All About!

TRIP THE LIGHT FANTASTIC, DANCE THE SWIVEL HIPS
"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"

Bucking the trend of the corporate dance music media driven guest DJ circuit - a practice that is not only environmentally unethical due to excessive air travel but corrosive to local scenes and financially monopolistic - Supermax is built around the firm conviction that truly the best parties are based around resident dj’s and a committed 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 David Mancuso's Loft Party blueprint Billy's aim is to provide a world class sonic experience with a particular focus on showcasing beautifully mastered original 12 inch disco records from the golden age of vinyl mastering.

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

Billy is a pioneer in the use of rotary DJ mixers thanks to their superior sound quality and was the first dj in the country to utilise specially imported 'original' Bozak mixers (not to be confused with inferior modern 'Bozak mixers' built by a UK manufacturer who bought the name ) at his Outer Drive & Supermax parties since 2003. This includes an extremely rare early D model Bozak that was originally installed at legendary 70’s New York discotheque ‘The Ice Palace’ on Fire Island and utilised by DJ's Jim Burgess & Roy Thode.

In 2016 Billy was the first dj in the country to utilise a custom designed ‘Isonoe’ rotary mixer designed & built by the world's finest dj mixer designer Justin Greenslade in 2016. Highly regarded venues such as Public Records NYC, Brilliant Corners & Spiritland have all followed suit and only a handful of unique custom Isonoe mixers exist with the others having been designed & built for an illustrious clientele of Dixon, Floating Points, James Murphy, Two Many Dj's & Theo Parrish.

Each month the Supermax production team spend several hours on the day of the party installing Billy's personal DJ set up including Technics GR turntables, Isonoe mixer, custom Nagaoka carts mounted on Korf headshells, mirror balls, balloons, decorations & projections, all of which are painstakingly put together to ensure a dance floor experience 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 12 inch records the way they were intended to be heard on a sound system that is genuinely world class in keeping with the tradition of the original freeform dj’s & their respective parties.

At 17 years & counting Supermax is quite possibly the longest running definitive '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 encounter a soundtrack 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 none other than cult hero, the legendary DJ Harvey) thrown in for good measure, all within a hot, dark, smoky environment that evokes the raw sensibilities of pre-commercialised club going.


BILLY WHO?
Eclectic, expansive, outrageous & possessing the unique ability to traverse the wildest tangents music has to offer with consummate ease all the while tearing up the dance floor rulebook in the process to the ecstatic response of party revellers! DJ Billy Woods radical selections & unorthodox approach are as likely to challenge & confound those of the most flexible of music tastes as they are to inspire those of the most hardened opinions to re-engage & embrace genres, songs & tracks they may have previously dismissed as out-dated, unfashionable, unthinkable & unworkable!

This could include anything as outlandish as drenching party-goers in a ten minute long sonic thunderstorm only to bring the house down with a maelstrom of dance floor friendly rock or having the audacity to en trance the audience with one of his legendary hypnotic hour long edits should a promoter dare book him to play a mere one hour slot.

Whenever 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 a visionary DJ who inspires & influences his peers & contemporaries alike, both directly & indirectly, regardless of whether they are aware of it or are even prepared to acknowledge it.

Having played a key role in reviving interest in disco through his freeform approach to djing during the 90’s & permanently sold out 5 year Melting Pot residency at the start of the noughties. And having pioneered the use of rotary dj mixers & audiophile sound systems at his cult like 20 year Supermax & Outer Drive disco odysseys long before trends caught up, Billy is almost uncannily ahead of the curve and whenever he takes to the decks whether an aficionado or not you cannot walk away, you cannot fail to be inspired, and you almost certainly will not be able to resist the urge to give in to the dance!
