"If you need any more evidence that Mr Neverending-Purple-Patch is doing things with percussion (in all it's different flavours) that would make Richie Hawtin proud, then this is it 10/10" 'Pandemonium' Single of the Month IDJ MAGAZINE "A Staggeringly on-form Paul Woolford provides the missing ingredient.

For reference points, think Carl Craig's epic version of Junior Boys' 'Like A Child'. Yup, that good." DJ MAGAZINE review of Paul Woolford's Morgan Geist Remix "The highlight of the Space Terraza at We Love. Every week Paul Woolford clarified, refined and defined the sound of one of the most important rooms in contemporary dance music each Sunday." WELOVESPACE "Paul Woolford's "The Truth" should be filed in anyone's collection next to other classic UK techno albums such as LFO's "LFO" Chemical Brothers' "Exit Planet Dust", Underworld's "Dubnobasswithmyheadman" and Aphex Twin's "I Care Because You Do" RESIDENT ADVISOR Releases in 2011 include the debut single for Hotflush, the cutting edge label owned by Scuba, both the debut and the second single for Carl Craig's Planet E Communications in Detroit featuring incendiary reworks of 'Razor Burn' , two releases on London's Phonica label with a rework from German cult figure Kassem Mosse, reworks of Woolford tracks on Intimacy from Appleblim & Berghain's Norman Nodge plus remixes for Francesco Tristano for InFine in France and T Williams for the UK's cult Local Action imprint amongst a brace of Woolford's sharpest material yet. These releases have united DJs across the board in their support from Surgeon to Skream, Carl Craig to Ben UFO.

This is all in addition to the giveaway of 10 classic re-edits in July on Soundcloud for which there were just under 20,000 downloads within a week. These moves clearly place Paul Woolford in a unique position which has led to him playing his debut Detroit gig in Detroit with Carl Craig & Derrick May - Woolford played the middle slot... and to opening up the main stage of the Detroit Electronic Music Festival in March. Woolford's work with Planet E also extends into playing his part in the label's 20 Year anniversary celebrations with a series of gigs in key locations including New York's District 36, Detroit's The Works, Berlin's Berghain, London, Vienna, Holland's Extrema festival and beyond. ...show less
