Through his work as DJ, producer, dance floor experimentalist, remixer, and label owner, Paul Woolford has succeeded in bringing a rare level of artistry to the world of modern dance music and in doing so, made an enduring global impact.
His name is synonymous with high quality. This insatiable appetite for musical stimulation has driven Woolford to explore far beyond the cutting edge House and Techno that is his stock-in-trade, and led him down more experimental paths, embracing aspects of improvised Jazz through his collaborative work with Paul Hession, and taking huge inspiration from the modern composition of Steve Reich. All this is distilled within the Techno dynamic that Woolford has made second nature.
As a DJ, Paul Woolford tours the world constantly as a guest of the finest clubs and festivals, and has a frequently exhausting schedule that runs into overdrive in the summer when his main weekly residency at We Love Sundays @ Space, Ibiza, starts.
Paul Woolford was awarded Best Newcomer in Ibiza’s DJ Awards in 2006. In addition to this, he now holds a monthly UK residency at Matter London at which he can approach things in a different manner more appropriate for this worldwide hub of dance music. It is with this highly personal and chameleon-like ability that Paul Woolford makes his mark, creating bespoke re-edits built purposefully for each environment, including the famous outdoor sunrise arena at RAW!
