Boo Williams – Living Waters

Label: GoldminScore: 8/10 

Bumping, grinding, intricate house music has long been considered Boo Williams‘ forte. While he tends not to veer too far from a formula that’s served him so well over the years, his work still continues to shine, not least due to a sound that’s as timeless and as effervescent as it was two decades ago. And when he brings his A-game, you know it’s time you sat up and listened, as few producers in the house music realm do it better.

As it transpires, that’s exactly what he does on his latest release, a three-track EP on French label Goldmin music. Packed full of musical deliciousness, it opens with ”Distant Land”, a track that transports you to a place that’s indicative of its title. Warm, fuzzy and with a barrage of sax licks among its many highlights, it’s a multilayered number that sees Williams expertly play to his strengths.

”Living Waters” serves up another winner. Packed with celestial vibes aplenty, it raises the bar further still by the time the captivating horns rear their head. ”7 Days” is another expert cut, and further proof still of the dual club/home appeal that permeates throughout the release. With Williams calling on his signature range of hats, he melds them perfectly alongside a range of catchy synth stabs and another bustling bassline. It’s irresistible stuff for house heads in the know.
