The Special Request project first surfaced on a series of white label 12”s in 2012, their exploration of old-school jungle and UK hardcore sounds something of an anomaly at the time. Yet these breakneck efforts quickly found an audience, and the man behind the project, veteran house and techno producer Paul Woolford, soon realized that his self-indulgent side project had taken on a life of its own. With a new Special Request EP, *Stairfoot Lane Bunker*, about to drop on Houndstooth, Woolford discusses how the project has evolved over the years and breaks down the separation between his different monikers. Also joining the show for an interview is UK producer Clark, a longtime member of the Warp Records family whose latest full-length, *Death Peak*, is surfacing this week. Elsewhere, host Shawn Reynaldo fills the remainder of the program with the best offerings from this week’s crop of new electronic music releases.
