Sounds Like
Boo's current sound is a fusion of deep soulful melodic House music, with a jazzy vibe. He has produced hard hitting bass kickin techy tracks when using his alias' Moonman or Mandrake. As for Willie Snickers, the sound is more and combination of Deep House and Jazz with a stompy feel to keep any die hard fan satisfied.
Born and raised on Chicagos south side, Boo Williams' career as dj, producer, back when house music was still creating an identity for itself that would put the city on the modern musical map forever. A healthy diet of Larry Heard, Marshall Jefferson, Frankie Knuckles, Ron Hardy,stirred the flames of the 4 to the floor beat that has remained well alive ever since. In these early days, childhood collaborator turned life-long friend, Glenn Underground was to play in important role in Boo's career. The creative spark that emerged from their early collaboration contributed greatly to them becoming influential players in the Chicago dance
scene and eventually way beyond.
How many djs can say their first gig was performed in front of 2500 people?? Boo Williams and his soulful, disco-edged brand of house rocked, closing a set for house legend Ron Hardy back the days, The post 80s acid and electronic sound of house was developing into one of a more soulful nature directly borrowing from its disco, funk and soul heritage and formulating the sub genres of house that we speak of to this day.
To date Boo Williams has had a prolific career with over 50 singles released for likes of Dust Traxx, Cajual, Ovum, Diaspora, Guidance, 3hree to 5ive, Residual with full L.Ps for Relief and Defender Records not including remixes for the likes of Green Velvet, Warmdue Kids, Miles Maeda. His appearances on compilations across the world are numerous (Ministry of Sound, Kickin Records, Cajual, Sony) and he has a back catalogue of material that will only strengthen in years to come and hopefully stand the test of time.
At home in North America, he is a big crowd puller in all the major cities from coast to coast none more so than in his home town of Chicago where he is a well-respected veteran of a scene, which still has plenty to offer. Clubs like The The Powerhouse, The Hummingbird, Club My House, Crobar, Zantra, Smart Bar and The Warehouse (all Chicago) have all seen him host residencies over the past 10 years as well as guest and headline slots in all major cities and States in USA and Canada including the 2002 Detroit Electronic Music Festival.
His constant bookings in the States has not prevented him from traveling the Atlantic to play Ministry of Sound, The End and Fabric (all London), Tribal Gathering (Manchester) as well as Glasgow, Dublin, Frankfurt, Barcelona as well as world party capital, Ibiza.
