BOO WILLIAMS — Lost Of Time 2x12"

Boo Williams – LOST OF TIME opens the Chiwax Classic Edition series with catalogue number CCE047G, a 2×12-inch vinyl that revisits a 1995 Relief Records classic. The release arrives in a striking green vinyl, freshly mastered for 2026, and situates itself within Chiwax’s current focus on re-examining foundational Chicago house tracks. Within the label’s 2026 output, LOST OF TIME follows the earlier CCE047 “LOST OF TIME 2x12” and precedes the later CHIWAX049 “Now And Forever EP”, both also by Boo Williams. The surrounding catalogue includes Jasper James’ “WAX TRAX VOL. 1” (CWX04.2) and David Böning’s “Down To Join EP 2” (CHIWAX043.1), underscoring Chiwax’s commitment to both fresh productions and historic re-issues that shape the modern house narrative. Side A opens with the title track “Lost Of Time”. Its placement as A1 gives it the role of a defining statement, delivering the deep, groove-centric vibe that characterises mid-90s Chicago house while the new mastering adds a crispness suited to contemporary decks. The follow-up “Karate Kick” (A2) maintains the rhythmic drive, offering a slightly more kinetic pulse that bridges the opener with the deeper cuts on the B-side. The B-side begins with “Naked Passion” (B1), a track that leans into the emotive side of the genre, its title suggesting a stripped-back atmosphere that can serve as a warm-up for a late-night set. “Warpath” (B2) picks up the intensity, providing a darker, more propulsive rhythm that contrasts with the previous track’s intimacy, making it a useful tool for building tension on the dancefloor. Side C continues the journey with “Flashback” (C1), a title that hints at nostalgic reverberations, and the track lives up to that promise by evoking the classic house timbres that defined the original 1995 release. “Take It Easy” (C2) follows, offering a more relaxed groove that can function as a breather in a DJ’s set, allowing the energy to settle before the final side. The record closes on side D with “The Relief Express” (D1), a nod to the original Relief Records imprint and an apt concluding statement that recaptures the original’s kinetic momentum. The final cut, “Amusement” (D2), rounds out the EP with a playful, uplifting feel that leaves the listener with a sense of resolution, making the whole 2×12-inch package suitable for both deep listening and club play. Boo Williams’ recent output on Chiwax includes the forthcoming “Now And Forever EP” (CHIWAX049) and the earlier “LOST OF TIME 2x12” (CCE047), showing a sustained engagement with the label’s retro-focused vision. Earlier releases on other imprints, such as the “Galaxy House EP” (Island Life) and “Life (2x12”) (Boo Moonman), demonstrate the artist’s long-standing relationship with the house tradition, but this Chiwax entry is distinct in its archival intent. From a collector’s perspective, the green vinyl pressing offers a visual cue that distinguishes it from the standard black version also listed by the label. DJs will appreciate the refreshed mastering, which brings out the low-end punch and rhythmic clarity needed for vinyl-based sets, while the sequencing provides natural peaks and valleys for a cohesive set flow. The record’s blend of classic motifs and modern fidelity makes it a valuable addition for those curating deep-house or Chicago-house oriented nights. The physical product arrives as a 2×12-inch set of green vinyl, reflecting the label’s aesthetic choice for this edition. The pressing follows the original 1995 master but benefits from the 2026 remaster, ensuring that the grooves translate effectively to contemporary playback equipment. In summary, Boo Williams – LOST OF TIME, Chiwax, catalogue CCE047G, 2×12-inch vinyl, presents eight tracks that reinterpret a seminal house release with updated mastering, positioned between earlier and later Chiwax projects and offering both DJs and collectors a compelling bridge between past and present.
