Special Request

Join us for the official On The Beach After Party with Special Request & KeeqOne of several aliases used by Paul Woolford (aka Bobby Peru, Hip Therapist, Wooly, and Skip Donahue), Special Request was inspired by the breakbeat techno, drumnbass, and other underground dance music forms the DJ and producer encountered on pirate radio stations in his native U.K.

In 2012, Woolford initiated a label of the same name with a trio of 12 releases, one of which featured a remix from Kassem Mosse and Mix Mup.

While some of the tracks were more straightforward techno, others included choppy jungle breaks and rave synths, and were much harder-edged.

After another single on Special Request and the Hardcore EP on Fabrics Houndstooth division, Woolford released the Soul Music album in October 2013.

The CD and digital editions added material from the singles, as well as Woolfords Special Request remixes for Tessela and Lana Del Rey.
