Boo Williams- “midnight express”
Apologies to our regular listeners for inactivity at DC- no posts here for a month, shocking indolence from me and our reduced roster of co-bloggers.
To make some small amends, here is a gem of a track from Boo Williams on the mighty Relief Records label
Born and raised on Chicago’s south side, Boo Williams’ career as DJ/producer, began back when house music was still creating an identity for itself. He was raised on a healthy diet of Larry Heard, Marshall Jefferson, Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy, and over the years has become part of the house music foundation himself.
This track is a long time favourite of mine and various others of the dilate posse and crew. I remember a bunch of us first hearing it on the Colin Faver show on Kiss FM in the back of our mate Rob’s car as we headed home to our communal pad in Hendon- the awesome combination of huge, loose breaks with the tight-assed swing of the drum track and crazy synth madness got us all very excited, and had us dashing out to our favourite record stores to try and find it the next day.
Still a stone cold, stand out classic to this day…
