Artist Talk | Mr Scruff
Cutting his teeth at DJing in the early 90s, Mr. Scruff’s eclectic music taste accompanied by his own visuals and animations earned him a loyal following over the years.
In 1995 he released his first release, “Hocus Pocus” on Manchester based label Robs Records before a few years later making his debut on Ninja Tune with his first full length album release. Since then, he’s had a steady flow of releases, dipping in and out from electro, trip-hop, electronica, nu jazz with elements of soul. More recently, his collaboration with OneDa, Warriors Daughter is an old school breaks flex.
We’re grateful to have welcomed him to Manchester’s Soup Kitchen to share his decades long knowledge with us and for a deep dive into his creative process.
