Another House of Misfits event not to be missed next 9th August. Owen Jay & Philippe play alongside Boo Williams (Chicago) - UltraSessions European Tour at Buskett Roadhouse.

Boo Williams is the owner of some pretty serious credentials. Numerous classic house releases and relentless DJ touring has made this man into the fixture of US Deep House Music that we know him to be. His world-wide appearances from Ministry of Sound (London), Fuse (Brussels), and all the way to E-Work (Berlin) and his recent headlining appearance at the Homelands Festival (Ireland) where Boo held House Music court with 40,000 captive listeners, have all made a lasting impression on everyone within earshot.

But it was his constant historic appearances at the Chicago legendary spots that made him a card-carrying member of the old school. From The Powerhouse (where Lil' Louis, Frankie Knuckles, and Ron Hardy were known to tread) to The Hummingbird and Gentle Persuasion and hotels like The Bismarck, The Ascot, and The Congress, Boo has been making his mark in Deep House since the days that it began (back when the "Saturday Night Live, Ain't No Jive, Chicago Dance Party" ruled the airwaves on WBMX).

Glenn Underground was the one who pointed Boo in the direction of production, and the rest, as they say is history. Strictly Jaz Unit history! America has seen Boo's jazzy grooves released on Nite Life Collective, Cajual, Daisy, Dust Traxx, Ovum, Track Mode, Sounds, 3hree to 5ive, Headphoniq, Guidance, Residual, and Relief. The rest of the world has seen Boo's smooth tunes released on Nepenta, Open, Formaldehyd, and even Djax! Boo has applied his remix talent to Lovestreet, Green Velvet, Wamdue Kids (as Keith Maniac), and Miles Maeda. He has released full-length albums on Relief, MAAD, and Defender (as S.J.U. Project) and his productions have appeared on compilations by Dust Traxx, Nite Life Collective, Guidance, and Formaldehyd. Boo resides in the elite of Chicago's House Music veterans, where he will remain, and each of his DJ appearances serves as a testament to his talent for creating and making Deep House Music.
