Lil Louis is somewhat of a Higgs Boson particle for house music, playing an intergral part in its conception and progression in Chicago; so, it’s very fitting that Subculture - the home of Glasgow house - has him headlining this week’s event with resident Harri. If you caught Louis at their 2010/2011 NY party, you’ve probably already bought the ticket.
