Boo Williams will release a new EP on NICEPEOPLE.

The three-track release showcases the signature vibe that has established Williams as a Chicago house pioneer. It meanders through house and techno with real depth, the Italian label tells XLR8R.

The title track, “LOL,” chugs along with twisting beeps and bleeps, and Williams uses trippy samples of laughter that flash in and out. Next is “Backwards Run,” before “Bangin Out,” which takes up the whole of the B-side. It’s a real abrupt track, and the kind that leaves the crowd in a trance.

“This is Boo Williams at his finest once more,” the NICEPEOPLE says. “A real nod to sounds of the past, no egos in sight, just plain and simple effective dancefloor sounds.”

Williams​ ​has​ ​been​ ​a​ ​part​ ​of​ ​Chicago’s ​house​ ​music​ ​entourage​ ​since​ he first​ ​stepped​ ​up​ ​to​ ​the​ ​turntables​ ​in 1981. Born Willie Griffin in 1967, he grew up listening to blues,​ ​jazz, and​ ​disco,​ ​all before he began spinning records under the watchful eyes of the city’s legendary house music originators, among them Frankie Knuckles, Gene Hunt, and Ron Hardy.
