![]() The mediums have changed, grooveboxes have been replaced by computer DAWs but the substance is still the same, the one that Willie has been pursuing his whole life in a neverending quest for « feeling », intuition, and the incredible ability of making hard-to-compose stuff sounds easy, evident and as natural as if tracks had always existed. Those who are familiar with Boo's classics and early tracks like Fruit of the Spirit, Summer Love, Mortal Trance could probably relate to these Manifest's first five tracks: the polished and unalterable high drums are still here, the contrapuntal basic synth lines which are awaking a whole world when assembled together are here as well, and the sustained, so well balanced surge of energy and bliss is not missing here neither. More than that, the response seems to be fitting into the five tracks of this « Manifest » Ep, an EP which couldn't be more accordingly named, and which is only the first part of the actual Manifest Boo aims to share. Willie Griffin aka Boo Williams is one of the true Chicago House music heroes, everyone knows that, but one question remains, what could an artist who has delivered more than enough classics that he could easily retire (and so with no guilt) could be seeking now, what could a man who has already achieved dozens of times THE perfect track could be looking for, after all these years? Hopefully artists are closer from good wine than they are to close to professional sportsmen and the only competition they're involed in is a competition against themselves, a daily challenge they are facing bravely in order to make another track when all possible tracks seem to have been done already… Then another one, and maybe another last one but never the least. ![]() That's why 2022, the 10 years birthday year of the label was a great occasion to see him return, this and also the quality of the tracks Boo sent us could leave nothing but a very little space for doubts and hesitation. Almost ten years have passed since the last Boo Williams' Ep on Goldmin and some might have thought the Chicago legend had just made a quick appearance on the label but wouldn't come back.
