Mr. Scruff

Manchester's Mr. Scruff is a low-key cult hero whose offbeat selections are the definition of genre-blurring. A core artist on the Ninja Tune label, his musical world collides funk, soul, hip-hop, house and broken beats, all mixed with a real sense of mischief, warmth and humour. He is known for playing all day long, and the longer the set, the more room his selections have to wander. Whether brewing tea mid-set or dropping deep cuts that transcend time, he is proof that great musical taste and a hint of playfulness can live side by side. He has brought his marathon sets to Dekmantel Selectors.
