Get to know the artist

The alias Special Request belongs to Paul Woolford, a Leeds-born DJ and producer working in house, techno, breakbeat and speed garage. The project has been active since 2012 and takes its raw energy from UK pirate radio, which Woolford has described as a rowdier counterpart to his work under his own name. It is also the name of a vinyl imprint.

Background

Woolford has also recorded as Bobby Peru, and his releases include records on Houndstooth.
