Friend Within - The Renegade (Special Request 'Murder' remix)

Paul Woolford drops a huge new remix built round a ubiquitous sample under his 'Ardkore alias.

House mainstay Paul Woolford's 'Ardkore alias Special Request seems to have given him a new lease of life. Following a huge EP for Houndstooth (plus a huge one for Hotflush under his usual name), Woolford is readying a debut album under the alias, but while we wait for that he's dropped a new remix of Friend Within's The Renegade.

Woolford's remix is rude and rough-round-the-edges. Built around that ubiqutious Renegade Master sample, it's just begging for rewinds. Huge stuff.

In related news, details of the Special Request LP emerged today via Juno Plus. The album, called 'Soul Music', will drop through Houndstooth in October. It's 12 tracks long and all new material (besides Ride VIP, which appeared on a 12" last year), but it will come with an exhaustive bonus disk of previously released productions and remixes.
