Boo Williams – Day Rise [PRTR30]
The second part of Boo Williams’ double release on Sushitech’s sub label Pariter, ‘Day Rise’, is definitely more upbeat of the two but it’s a subtle distinction – it’s certainly not full of 4AM bangers designed to keep you awake until the busses start running again. ‘Talley Up’ is a very straight forward affair, circling around a two note synth riff and gradually building percussion. ‘The Take Over’ is similarly spritely, another builder with crashing cymbals, jazzy chords and drum machine tumbles steadily building an insurmountable wall of funkiness. Breezy, bumping closer ‘Teleport’ completes the set, meaning three ultra-handy, raw but sophisticated tunes that house and techno DJs alike will find slipping into their sets with a natural ease.
Boo Williams – Night Fall [PRTR29]
Chicago second generation house hero Boo Williams joining the roster with a two-part release for Sushitech’s sub label Pariter. The first part, ‘Night Fall’, features three tracks, all of which fit the mold of early evening classics. ‘Acid Matrix’ has an early Detroit feel to its raw machine handclap snares and panther-like, stalking bassline, while ‘Deep Tech’ might be geographically closer to late 80s, early 90s Yorkshire, a compulsive funkiness emerging from its bleepcentric soundscape. ‘Service Chamber’ is sleeker and more mellow, telephone dial tones spiralling off into the ether while tinkling, xylophone-sounded keys play hypnotically. Choice, quality material that will help any DJ to subtly pick the pace up as the sun falls.
XDB – Chicago At Midnight [PRTR28]
Goettingen’s long standing dub techno servant XDB takes us to Chicago At Midnight with this new 12″ on Pariter. ‘Fenders’ is one and is a deliciously elastic rhythm with rolling kick drums setting a hypnotic groove as the bubbly synths rise up through the mix. ‘Cagomi’, more edgy and amped up with gritty hits and swaying bass, gets a new lease of life after first surfacing on XDB’s Metrolux Music back in 2009. The same cut gets a remix from Delano Smith that’s more rooted to the floor in the Detroit man’s usual textbook style.
Boo Williams – Hypnotic Teck [PRTR27]
Chicago house artist Boo Williams returns with his famous signature sound that is full of party but never short on class. His chunky drums are always the foundational element and they come embellished with superb synth work. This new EP on Pariter finds him lean into tech with the loopy acid squelches of ‘303 Effect’ keeping you in suspense, ‘Acid Smoke’ layering soft 303 lines into a punchy deep house cut and then comes the EP highlight, ‘Extension Time’. It’s a zoned-out roller with tender piano chords turning you inwards for deep reflection as the rubbery drums keep things moving.
