Roy Davis Jr. is a DJ, producer and label owner that has been part of the dance music community since the very beginning. Growing up in Chicago, the birthplace of House music, Roy was surrounded by the sounds of this new genre; whether it was living down the street from DJ Pierre or hearing Ron Hardy tapes blasting out of boomboxes - the possibilities drove a young Roy to start experimenting with equipment and this eventually led him to become a part of legendary outfit Phuture, as well as working with icons such as Marshall Jefferson. Arguably most well known for his massive single 'Gabriel,' a foundational track in the UK Garage scene, Roy always brings a soulful edge to his sets and is looking forward to celebrating some key milestones in 2023 - including the digitisation and re-release of his entire Undaground Therapy Muzik (UTM) record label, featuring tracks from: Men From The Nile, Turquoise Colored French Tourists, Nico Lahs and Al Zanders.FOLLOW US Instagram: @houseculturenetSpotify: House Culture - Perfect PlaylistYouTube: @houseculturenet|| Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseculture.
