Already an established house and techno producer and DJ for more than a decade, Leeds, U.K., native Paul Woolford took on the Special Request alias in 2012 to channel a more rugged, raw sound. The project was inspired by years of listening to pirate radio shows during the first wave of jungle—the fast-paced rave subgenre related to drum ’n’ bass—in the early ’90s, and the resulting releases combine the genre’s boundless, organic energy with Woolford’s pristine production techniques. Fellow Brits Mumdance and Logos also join the lineup, trading textural ambient, murky grime and breakneck hardcore for a back-to-back set.
