Paul Woolford Shares “Curtain Twitcher” from Upcoming Album as Special Request

Paul Woolford‘s Special Request alias continues to broaden the dimensions of his discography. The English DJ and producer announced that he would release an album under the moniker last month, and now a lead single from Belief System has arrived in the form of “Curtain Twitcher.”

The high-energy cut appropriately represents the range of influences typical to Special Request releases. An elevated tempo and minimalist production aesthetic hints at hard techno for much of the track, but Hoover synths help reinforce Woolford’s genre-be-damned approach to the project.

A press release regarding Belief System promises “vast layers of atmospherics, unhinged modular work [and] contact microphone recordings of icebergs cracking,” as well as “the introduction of stark soundtrack pieces.” The effort – like other Special Request releases – distinguishes itself from Woolford’s usual work by venturing outside the confines of house and techno.

Paul Woolford will release Belief System under his Special Request alias through Houndstooth in October.

Paul Woolford has channeled his Special Request alter ego for his next major release. Titled Belief System, the 23-track album will come out as a four-disc LP on London imprint Houndstooth, and it will exhibit more eclectic leanings than Woolford’s typical house and techno releases.

Woolford has not offered up a lead single from Belief System at this time. However, a 30-second teaser video posted to the Houndstooth YouTube channel is synced to a clip of an as-yet-untitled track from the effort.

A statement from Houndstooth explains that Belief System has been an exercise on Woolford’s part in expanding the sonic horizons of his Special Request project. It promises “vast layers of atmospherics, unhinged modular work [and] contact microphone recordings of icebergs cracking,” in addition to “the introduction of stark soundtrack pieces.”

The news follows a recent stunt in which Woolford uploaded 20 tracks to his SoundCloud account for free download, several of which were Special Request works.
