patrick studied and lived as an artist. they began their first musical activities with releases on local independent imprints and devised their unofficial lust (eng: joy, zest, delight) parties as an excuse to play records. later patrick acquired an old brewery as an atelier that served as their cauldron for ideas, art and wanton personal experimentation. they stopped in 1997 and the final twang of traditional career values saw philipp move firstly to cologne as a&r of jive, and later to berlin to do the same job for v2. patrick finished studying before taking a sensible day job he quickly detested. over the next years they consumed music, raved and span records at every opportunity. dj t and patrik (the sunsetpeople), from frankfurt?s monza club, heard them play at a party and noticed them on the dancefloor, stamping their feet and ripping their clothes. they became close friends, and m.a.n.d.y. have held a monza residency since 2001. the same year their old pals arno and walter (booka shade) moved from saarbrücken to frankfurt. the four intensified their work together and again talked of starting a label. the first official m.a.n.d.y. release, a remix of french electronic band galleon, was chosen as the official german single and went stratospheric sales charts. dj work poured in but they couldn?t reconcile with the commercial scene and abandoned it after a few short months. m.a.n.d.y. liken their next moves to a last exit, a final chance to do something special before time ran away from them. they decided to create a label with their friends booka shade and dj t, utilising the talent of the close friends in their circle. they called it get physical: in tribute to the dancefloor; in memory of their meeting; for their love of disco, acknowledging the obsession with olivia newton-john. it was born from pure desire, the need to create something tangible from their lifelong passion. in 2002, m.a.n.d.y. and booka shade moved to berlin seeking a new creative kick. what they found was a confluence of artists and ideas, and a constant shower of music that washed over and immersed them. it was productive, intense and satisfying. living and working together their strong relationships provided the perfect foundation for future growth. since the creation of the label, m.a.n.d.y. have come into their own as artists and djs. their natural easy friendship allowed their skills to gradually flourish and their heartfelt excitement for what they do ignites every floor. mixing the first get physical label compilation in 2004 sent their sound beyond europe and they?re sought after remixers working with artists as diverse as the knife, seelenluft, the sugababes, hans peter lindstrom and fisherspooner. and though they travel the world they treasure the family vibe that supports them in berlin. for m.a.n.d.y. this isn?t a job and isn?t about success. it?s about partnership and friendship and a realisation that dreams can come true. matt tolfrey matt tolfrey is one of those individuals that you won?t forget. an energetic dj, talented producer and manager of the uk?s biggest break-through record label, leftroom, he?s not afraid to put his soul into his goals and his enthusiasm shines through. growing up in the middle east it wasn?t until he returned home that his career started in nottingham with residencies at the historic club the bomb and more recently at stealth. here in the heart of the city?s club culture is where he continues to hold a residency. this quickly led to regular slots at fabric and further afield in the usa and germany. always keen to experiment with new ideas and take risks he started the leftroom label in 2005 with his own productions beginning to see releases on reputable labels such as crosstown rebels. tolfrey sought after an avenue to release his peer?s music and open up opportunities for friends that he believed in. the first release was entitled ?the extended family ep? encapsulating the spirit of leftroom, a place where a core set of artists could grow and experiment with their sound. the leftroom family now consists of a few key artists now including marcashken, inxec, ed davenport and glimpse. after remarkable success with the first few releases and securing a home-grown and exceptional roster tolfrey was asked to commence a label night at t bar, london?s hub of creativity in the house and techno scene. hosting nights alongside those of andrew weatherall, ivan smagghe and craig richards allowed tolfrey to invite and play with friends and muses while sharing memorable dancefloor moments. as his plan to achieve global domination took firm root, two more sub-labels were born into the family. leftroom limited has the purpose of releasing peak-time records while leftout is a home for lesser known artists who deserve some attention. he also runs is this label and has proved his a&r capabilities are pin-point securing one of last year?s biggest tracks, ito & star?s suduko kid. alongside propelling three labels tolfrey also djs globally with notable gigs for sunday school for degenerates in miami, regular dates at fabric, mulletover in ibiza and watergate in berlin amongst many. his productions and remixes have been released on four:twenty, renaissance and ransom note and he has collaborated with marcashken, glimpse, craig sylvester, inxec and b-pole. his forthcoming collaboration project with marcashken as tash is destined to be a frontrunner.
