Continuing his impeccable run of form, Special Request announces the first DJ-Kicks of 2021 with an upfront 12” EP of three brand new tracks. Leeds based Paul Woolford dares to go where few others do. He can do face-melting underground bangers, peak time piano anthems, ambient cinematics or chart climbing crossover hits. What unites his work as Special Request across labels like Houndstooth and R&S, though, is precision engineering, but never at the expense of real, raw emotion and visceral impact. He is an artist who very much pours his heart into everything he does, and has been on such a prolific run in recent years that it has been impossible to keep abreast of all his many projects. As always with Special Request, this is an emotional, full spirited ride through the musical mind of one of the most accomplished artists of the day.
