Boo Williams Biography:
Born July 20, 1967 in Chicago, Boo Williams has been a part of the city’s house music entourage since 1981. This was when he first stepped up to the turntables and started DJing. Later on in the 1990’s, Boo began production and then later remixing in ‘93.
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 an 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 . Boo Williams and his soulful, disco-edged brand of house right down to the tougher edged realms of house rocked, even closing a set for house legend Ron Hardy back in the day, The post 80’s 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.
Boo has gone on to release some of the most essential house cuts on some the most revered labels such as Relief, Residual, Nitelife, Moods & Grooves, Guidance, Rush Hour & many more!
