Paul Woolford is one of the UK’s most versatile and respected DJs and producers, whose career has spanned over two decades. Hailing from Leeds, Woolford first garnered attention in the early 2000s, making his name at the legendary Back To Basics club, where he became a resident DJ. His broad musical scope is reflected not only in his acclaimed DJ sets, but also in his productions that transcend genre boundaries—blending elements of house, techno, breakbeat, and more.

Woolford is perhaps best known for his anthemic 2013 hit "Untitled (Call Out Your Name)" on Hotflush Recordings, a track that has become a modern classic and established him as a major innovator. His dynamic approach to music production has seen releases on renowned labels including XL Recordings, Planet E, Aus Music, and his own Intimacy label. Beyond his work under his own name, Woolford also produces as Special Request, exploring darker, rave-inspired sounds with nods to jungle and breakbeat heritage.

Collaboration is another cornerstone of Woolford’s creative output, with remixes and productions for artists such as Disclosure, Depeche Mode, and Lana Del Rey. His music continually receives support from influential DJs and tastemakers around the globe, and his energetic, eclectic sets have taken him to world-class venues and festivals from Berghain (Berlin) to Fabric (London) and beyond. Throughout his journey, Woolford has remained dedicated to pushing boundaries and reinventing himself, earning a reputation for both technical prowess and artistic vision.

Equally at home on underground dancefloors or in mainstream charts, he stands as a unique figure within electronic music—unifying generations of dance fans with his forward-thinking yet timeless sound.
