Powerplant Revisited feat. Tyree Cooper vs Boo Williams & Promact Pari
|
Jetzt werden wir größenwahnsinnig. Denn ein US-House-Denkmal allein reicht nicht mehr.
Nicht, weil zufällig noch ein Platz in der Maschine aus Chicago leer war, sondern vielmehr, weil Tyree und Boo wissen, das Gutes einfach zusammengehört, reisen die beiden House-Präsidenten zusammen ins „Weiße Haus“ des Hamburger Nachtlebens.
Ihre Performance ist Gebot, ihr Sound ist Gesetz. Und gemeinsam haben die Club-Pioniere die Kraft der zwei House-Herzen. Keine Hymne, die nicht in ihrem Koffer schlummert, kein Hit, der im Regal verstaubt.
Und da Weihnachten ja gerade vorbei ist, schenken wir Euch das Doppelpack zum Schnäppchenpreis: 8,- Euro!

Boo Williams - House Music will Never Die!
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. He started out parting on the city's south side soon introduced to Glenn Underground who got him started in music production.
Born and raised on the 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 Farley Jackmaster Funk, Jessie Sanderson & Chip E, 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 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.
