Fletch’s other label: Toast Hawaii
Andy Fletcher’s work with Client belongs to the 2000s chapter of the story.
Toast Hawaii was founded in 2002. In an interview with NovaFuture, former German label webmaster Dennis Burmeister described supporting its website and forwarding booking and interview requests to the UK. He also identified Client as the label’s first band.

Client A later remembered the Toast Hawaii and Andy Fletcher years fondly when speaking to ELECTRICITYCLUB.CO.UK. Together, these accounts give a small window into Fletcher’s activity beyond Depeche Mode’s own releases.

Use the connection as an invitation to explore Client, then return to Depeche Mode. What feels familiar in the electronic setting, and what belongs distinctly to the other group? A shared label connection need not mean a shared sound.
