Paul Woolford

Grammy nominated, platinum-selling record producer Paul Michael Woolford has been working tirelessly for over 20 years both in DJ booths globally, and in a myriad of recording studios, to redefine and reinvent all shapes of dance music. He has applied his touch to hundreds of records, including the work of New Order, Christine & The Queens, Gabriels, Moby, Sam Smith, Depeche Mode, Chemical Brothers, Lana Del Rey, Alison Goldfrapp, Disclosure, Wiley, Jamie XX, Joy Crookes, Majid Jordan, Diplo, Kareen Lomax, London Grammar, Underworld, Krystal Klear, Morgan Geist, and many others, as well as influencing flocks of producers to drop their inhibitions and embrace bolder sounds. You are as likely to hear his music on the radio as you are in a club or on a runway for designers like Fendi, Givenchy, Burberry, Marc Jacobs and many others. Woolford has recorded 7 Essential Mixes for BBC Radio 1, released 4 mix compilations including most recently DJ Kicks 25 under his Special Request artist name, which was a Recommended release by Resident Advisor. As a DJ he tours relentlessly globally, and held down a 9 year residency at Space on Sundays in Ibiza, as well as a 7 year hometown residency at Back To Basics in Leeds, in addition to playing pretty much every respected serious venue of note globally. Woolford sites 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 days as key influences.
