Thick style coming through the sounds of House, and Techno

Let it surround you

‘Word of Mouth’ is the October released debut album from the tireless Leftroom Records boss and producer/DJ, Matt Tolfrey.

Featuring a rich selection of talent, from the relatively new such as James Teej, Jem Cooke and Kevin Knapp, to legends like Marshall Jefferson and Ya Kid K, ‘Word Of Mouth’ is a return to the feel  of classic house albums of old where collaborations with vocalists, engineers and mix engineers were worn as a badge of honour.

Matt Tolfrey is a fixture of modern house music that can feel a definite sense of pride over his achievements. Once a young upstart who was championed by DJs as diverse as Craig Richards and Pete Tong, he’s now a mentor to many via his various Leftroom imprints while still retaining the 
obsessive and energetic enthusiasm for music and it’s machinations.

A recording artist who has released on Cocoon, Rekids, Crosstown Rebels, Saved, Culprit and more, Tolfrey’s touch in the studio is undoubted but with ‘Word of Mouth’ we’re treated to a unique insight into his influences, working methods and what makes him tick. '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 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, return home, and sing it into the computer. In other words, ‘in theory’ the album is mainly going to be written with my mouth, not my fingers, and then fully realised with the help of engineers and guest vocalists - hence the name ‘Word Of Mouth’. 
(Matt Tolfrey, June 2012)

From opening cut ‘Encarta’, it’s obvious that ‘Word of Mouth’ is Tolfrey wearing his influences proudly. Any fans of 1990s deep house can feel the soul of classic British deep house imprints like Paper and DIY Discs (the latter notable as a heavy presence in Tolfrey’s beloved Nottingham during  his University years), albeit with subtle and respectful modern twists.

Dubbed in places (‘The Truth’ with Marshall Jefferson), electronic in some (‘Never Assume’ with  James Teej) and direct in others (‘The Spooks’ with Kevin Knapp packs a real, penultimate-trackpunch),  ‘Word Of Mouth’s continuing theme is elegantly employed melodies regardless of tone. A 
listen that drags you through from opener to the sublime, broken closer (‘Not So Little’ feat Kevin  Knapp), ‘Word of Mouth’ is a mature, masterful debut from a cherished UK talent.

Matt Tolfrey’s ‘Word of Mouth’ is released October 1st, 2012 on Leftroom Records.

To follow up on our first vinyl release we bring you this massive EP by non other than a key piece for the label in the last couple years "Miguel Puente" This pack has two originals by Miguel and a collaboration with mexican Gil Montiel and to keep it classy we have Kiki (Crosstown Rebels, Bpitch Control) delivering a massive remix of their cut.

In Spectral is a straight forward Dancefloor tune, driving screeching baseline accompanied by elegant bassy synth melodies and an killer drum patterns perfect for peak time.

Kiki´s remix maintains the driving bass of the original but going a notch more melodic with the synth stabs and a massive breakdown that leads to a serious infected groove.

The two solo cuts  "Deviance"  and " Pegasi" show a different musical side from Puente´s  usual productions taking the groove into deeper atmospheres, hypnotic pads and tight percussions keep things rolling.
