Hola Amigos,

The next DPM installment is coming your way on Friday March 2nd. Those of you who were lucky enough to attend the last few events will know by now that our no nonsense music policy coupled with the most educated of party goers provide the perfect recipe for the kind of vibe that you rarely get to experience on the South Coast.

And this next one will be no different as we have a hell of a line up in store for you:

MATT TOLFREY (Leftroom)

In a current musical climate where originality can often be overtaken by the mundane and regular, Matt Tolfrey’s tireless devotion and relentless energy have taken him to a point where he is beginning to shape the musical world around him.

Labels of the calibre of the legendary Classic Records and 1Trax now approach him to launch their compilation series, and through his own family of labels – Leftroom and its sister imprints Leftroom Ltd and Left’d, plus the edits label Foot and Mouth – he launches his own productions and musical tastes upon the scene. Matt’s inherent instinct for future classics have seen seasoned names such as Jamie Jones, Glimpse and Lee Curtiss all grace the label’s back catalogue. As the Leftroom stable hits maturity after 5 years, it is also now responsible for developing the likes of Laura Jones and Waifs & Strays and, in doing so, helping to launch the careers of tomorrow’s hot new house generation.

Having firmly consolidated his place at the top of the electronic pile as a producer/DJ of global renown, Matt now approaches the final moments of 2011 with many exciting new projects appearing on next year’s morning horizon. Spring 2012 will see the release of Matt’s highly-anticipated debut artist album on Leftroom entitled, ‘Word of Mouth,’ which has an interesting story behind its concept.

‘I cannot play the piano and I am not professionally trained in any way musically, but through years of DJing I know exactly what I like, and I have great tracks in my head that need to get out. While searching the Internet for alternate ideas of making music, I came across some amazing new software that enables you to simply sing or hum into a mic, which then translates into midi notes, which you then use as the basis of your tracks. In essence, it means that while I am walking the streets, or away travelling, and I come up with an idea for a bassline, or a melody, I can simply record it into my phone, then when I return home, sing it into the computer. In other words, in theory the album is going to be written with my mouth, not my fingers, and realised with the help of guest vocalists - hence the name ‘Word Of Mouth’, Matt explains.

2012 opens with a clutch of 12”s and remixes – ‘LAX’ on Culprit with Lazaro Casanova and a track on Leftroom’s Collaborations EP. Matt’s highly sought-after remix dexterity sees him re-work the Silicone Soul classic ‘Right On, Right On’ on Soma, and there is a further remix of Martin Dawson and Glimpse’s ‘Wildlife’ on Leftroom with Sam Russo.

Celebrating a Leftroom half-decade, ringleader Matt has rolled out the 5 Years of Leftroom birthday celebration tour, accompanied by the label’s leading lights and friends, with gigs all over Europe and the US. Aggregating stellar and breakthrough names such as Craig Richards, Seth Troxler, Inxec, Maya-Jane Coles, Waifs and Strays, Glimpse, Ryan Elliott, Kate Simko, Jozif and Laura Jones under the Leftroom Sessions party banner, it is safe to say that 2011 marked the coming of age of his imprint.

THOMAS GANDEY (Skint)

Thomas Gandey (Cagedbaby)

Artist/DJ/Producer Thomas Gandey stormed through 2010 with several EPs released on Southern Fried Records, including Radio 1 Essential New Tune 'Mercy Hump', and 'Trucks' which was heavily supported by Annie Mac.

And the Bordeaux and Brighton based DJ/Producer has exciting times ahead. Usually known for his songs and his trademark poppy tech-disco sound in his Cagedbaby guise, he has been holed up in his studio in the South of France working on a raft of new material that is more akin to the sound that packed dance-floors have been moving to during his DJ sets. Pushing technological boundaries whilst never losing sight of keeping his audience entertained, his now trademark DJ style (an alluring mix of tough techno and sexy nu disco) has further influenced what he does in the studio, as forthcoming releases will be testament to.

Since signing to Southern Fried he has released his stunning "Will See You Now" album, 2 installments of the "Fried And Tested" compilation (with Fatboy Slim and 2 Bears respectively), and compilations for Pacha, DJ Mag and a Radio 1 Essential Mix, as well as a host of remixes.

Recent remixes of The Editors, The Temper Trap, Grace Jones, Alphabeat, and the epic remix with Radio Slave for Nelski, have received love and support from key tastemakers like Pete Tong, Radioslave, Sasha and Aeroplane.

When it comes to production Thomas does everything himself in the studio. A classically trained pianist and self confessed analogue synth head Gandey’s wide musical influence shows in his productions, as varied as they are unique.

Set all this along side several collaboration projects that are being developed means that Thomas Gandey is a name that will undoubtedly be popping up in your 'floorfillers' playlist this year as he releases his new material on Southern Fried Records and beyond.
