46: Paul Woolford is peaking

Rave royalty on No Tags this week as we’re joined by Paul
Woolford.


We’re both drawn to artists who are driven by a compulsion to put
art into the world at all costs – and 25 years into his
career, Woolford (AKA Special Request) seems to be more
driven than ever. In the last six years he’s released six albums
and countless singles and remixes, and he still tours
relentlessly – from seasons in Ibiza to grubby late-nighters at
the White Hotel.


He’s also constantly collaborating – who else can you name
who’s worked with Novelist, Diplo, Alison Goldfrapp and MK? And
that’s how we introduced him on stage at the British Library
earlier this year, where he joined us for a live conversation as
part of AVA London.
