Special Request (Paul Woolford) has been enjoying himself of late. From the Vortex LP to the archival Bedroom Tapes collection, all of Woolford’s drops this year have been suffused with a sense of free-spirited fun. On this new Special Request & Fwends EP it seems that the feeling is infectious. Here we find Mall Grab and Sully let plenty loose on their remixes of Vortex’s almost-title-track, a sense of carefree abandon leading both artists to create some hefty DJ tools.
Mall Grab has been moving away from the lo-fi house sound of his early releases for some time now, and his entry on Special Request & Fwends continues that trend. His take on ‘Vortex 135’ - Special Request’s slowed-down version of ‘Vortex 150’ that came out on limited-run vinyl early this year - is the sort of rough and ready techno joint that we’d expect to crop up in a DJ Stingray mix. Select atmospheric aspects of Woolford’s original are removed here, creating a space in which slamming kick drums can do maximum damage.
Sully jacks up the bpm to 164 on his remix, a tempo that suits Special Request’s revivalist rave sound very nicely indeed. Anyone who’s clocked the mind-melting jungle joints Sully has been issuing of late will know what they’re in for here, but regardless of whether you’re a seasoned veteran or relative newbie the way that Sully upends ‘Vortex’ in the service of drum ‘n’ bass remains a wild ride.
Special Request & Fwends is another deliriously gleeful club dispatch from the Paul Woolford universe.
