Formula feat: Matt Tolfrey

For the last few years, everything has been falling into place for Matt Tolfrey. He quickly stepped up from playing at local bars to holding down residencies at The Bomb and Stealth in Nottingham, two of the country's most respected underground clubs. More recently he also started his own night named Leftout at the TBar in London, which has now been successfully running for two years. He's played at some of the best clubs in the UK, notably regularly slots at London superclub Fabric, and worldwide he's guested everywhere from Ibiza, and Berlin, via USA and Australia. As well as all this, he runs four of his own labels named Leftroom, Leftroom Limited, Leftout (www.leftroom.com), and Is This (www.isthisalabel.com). He has also collaborated with MarcAshken, Craig Sylvester, Inxec and B-Pole on releases and remixes.

So how did he come so far so quickly? The answer is simple. Matt is a workaholic with a seemingly tireless dedication to forging his own unique style. Drawing on everything from deep house and techno, through to stripped down bleeps and Germanic mayhem, he's spawned his own hybrid strain of electronic funk. Anyone lucky enough to have already witnessed Matt in action will know that his particular brand of wobbly house and techno has the power to win hearts and destroy minds on the dance floor.
