Boo Williams – Influences

Boo Williams and Glenn Underground know more about house than any estate agent we've ever met. Coming through strongly in the second wave of house music, they've taken their lead from the likes of Larry Heard, Marshall Jefferson and Lil Louis and have gone on to do some wonderful aural things. Between them, they form the mighty Strictly Jaz Unit and they're heading to London this weekend so that those of us on this side of the Atlantic can get a glimpse of them in action. Before they grace our shores with their presence, Boo Williams tells us about some of the sounds that have inspired him the most throughout his career.
NEED2SOUL presents Strictly Jaz Unit with Glenn Underground & Boo Williams takes place on Sunday 30th August at The Round Chapel, London – find out more here.
Need I say more, this record changed the course of house music for me because at that time there was no other sound like Larry Heard’s signature sound so this record means a lot to me and the house music scene. It’s timeless.
