Andrew Fletcher (musician)



In recent years, Andy Fletcher has founded a record label, Toast Hawaii, the same name of his supposed lost album, in order to promote the band Client. In October 2006, Side-Line Magazine announced that Client had left the Toast Hawaii label which makes the future of the label quite unsure.

As well as this, he also DJs sometimes. Most of his DJ gigs happened, while on tour with Client. His style has been in the standard "Bedroom DJ" format; picking songs and creating a set list; however, some recent internet videos show Fletcher's skills improving, as he experiments beat mixing and sampling, instead of only going from track to track. Many people have argued that his technical DJ skills are at beginner level, but the crowds that he has DJed for have enjoyed the sets that he has done, especially when he plays a Depeche Mode track or anything related to Mute Records. One such event that he DJed was documented in "Andy Fletcher: One Night in Warsaw." As of October 2007, Fletcher is touring clubs in Europe and South America.
