“The Truth” is a hard hitting, no holes barred, excursion into the heart of techno music, proving that Woolford is a force to be reckoned with at the cutting edge of his field. This definitive work will cement his place amongst the electronic elite and should be filed alongside LFO, Audion and Carl Craig. Â
Woolford has grafted throughout his career and produced over 100 releases prior to this album.  There have been many tough times along the way and these have been documented and laid bare in this brutally honest musical narrative.Â
One of the most significant chapters in the story details his recent finding of his birth father after 26 years. On their first meeting he found out that his father was also called Paul and also a musician. Â
We can only imagine what impact this must have had on someone who has pursued their own musical path all their life. In fact Paul Hession is a highly respected Jazz drummer and writer whose album,”Soft Drum Set” became a favourite for Wire magazine in 1999. The reunion must have got even more bizarre when Woolford found out his father had also toured with Warp artist Squarepusher, one of his own influences! Â
On “The Truth” Woolford marks this event by cutting up Hession’s drums on the tracks “Anatomy of Desire” and “Emotional Violence”. Â
The 2006 hit Erotic Discourse has now sold 20,000 copies and become an anthem worldwide, thrusting Woolford into the public eye. Erotic Discourse has become one of the few true underground crossover tracks of the last years and was played by a huge range of DJs including Sasha, 2ManyDJs, FK, Laurent Garnier, Luciano, Trevor Jackson, Erol Alkan, Carl Cox, The Chemical Brothers, Weatherall, The Unabombers and Lindstrom to name but a tiny few. Every week we were surprised by yet another DJ from a different genre that was playing this track.Â
On “The Truth” Erotic Discourse gets a working over by the legendary Green Velvet who produced an exclusive re-edit on meeting Woolford the day before he was going to cut the album!  The two met in strange circumstances when they played together in
“The Truth” features 10 exclusive new tracks including “Emotional Violence”, “Scandal” and “Radioactive” which will be released as singles but this album is not just about dancefloor bombs. Woolford further showcases his production skills as well his ability to write songs. We start off with the title track, which is a whirlwind assault the DFA would be proud of, live drums and bass are cut up over sirens and we are off to a flying start. “Throb” is reminiscent of early Martin Gore productions for Depeche Mode and sounds as massive as a Chemical Brothers track. Further diversity comes in the shape of “Each and Every Time”, which shows Larry ‘Mr Fingers’ Heard early influence on Woolford. “Once Bitten” has hip hop drums firmly as its backbone and hits as hard as a Wu Tang workout.  “Venom” is included as we felt it had not only stood the test of time but stands out as the turning point for Woolford’s production pre-Erotic.  “Aguire” and “Shibboleth” round up the work with a touch of classically influenced music so often missing on electronic albums. Â
“Shibboleth” was directly inspired by Doris Salcedo’s installation at The Tate Modern if you were wondering about the strange title! All in all the range of tracks and influences are diverse, yet always consistent, as “The Truth” seeks to give a very personal viewpoint of life as Woolford has lived it. If you get to question him closer you will uncover many more interesting stories that lie behind the music.
Woolford is also one of the best DJs on the planet-fact. He plays alongside Fanciulli and Zabiela as one of the weekly residents at We Love Space,
He won Best Newcomer at the Ibiza dance awards 2007 and in
