Special Request

Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling record producer Paul Michael Woolford — aka Special Request — has spent 20 years redefining and reinventing all shades of dance music. He’s applied his distinct production touch to hundreds of records, including the work of Depeche Mode, Chemical Brothers, Lana Del Rey, Disclosure, Wiley, Jamie XX, Underworld, and Morgan Geist among many others. He’s carved his own body of work under Special Request, further enhancing his reputation as a producer of unparalleled quality. He’s recorded seven Essential Mixes for BBC Radio 1, released four mix compilations, as a DJ he tours relentlessly and held residences at Space in Ibiza, and Back To Basics in his hometown of Leeds. Woolford cites a combination of the raw energy and diversity of the pirate radio airwaves, a lifetime of collecting records and the enlightenment of his art school years as key influences.
