Cheers to all the dancers, security, staff, crew & everyone else at Band On the Wall for another great night! This is a 5 hour recording from my monthly residency in Manchester.. deepgoa.blogspot.com your urban music guide © dg , 2012 google+ fb
After a lovely 4 date tour of Ireland over St. Patrick's weekend with MC Kwasi, I had to upload one of the gigs! This one was recorded on St. Patrick's eve in Dublin's Button Factory, which I first played in about 15 years ago during the Guiness Blues Festival. The venue is like a bigger version of the Band On The Wall, and also has a fantastic L'Acoustics sound system, so I felt very much at home. MC Kwasi did a fantastic job of getting everyone smiling & dancing, and all the venue staff & crew were really friendly & [...]

Been a while since we had any Mr Scruff. He's back with a previously unreleased track for the new Thirty One Songs compilation compiled by Dave Haslam for the CALM charity. This is one of Mr Scruff's funk workouts, underpinned by a throbby, twangy base. It is supplemented by piano and flute. It does all get a bit lounge lizard in parts but overall pleasant. Blurb: This tune was recorded during the Ninja Tuna sessions in 2008 and has been unreleased until now. It features Kaidi Tatham & Andy Kingslow on keys [...]

Mr. Scruff was live in Manchester, England where he played an epicly long set from 9:30 to 3am. This is a perfect chilled out Sunday evening mix to get you through the rest of your weekend.
It's pretty back-to-front, playing live an album that was created from samples. But somehow Introducing did it - and they did it well - with one of the defining albums of the 19902s. DJ Shadow's Endtroducing was a true labour of love, crafted from hand picked samples that he created, one by one. Nowadays it doesn't sound that impressive, but when you think of the technology we've got that Shadow didn't, it becomes a much, much bigger achievement. Enough about DJ Shadow though. Introducing, the live 10-piece band, have turned their sights [...]

Editor's note: Love can be found in a cup of...well, keep reading this interview Luke did with someone very special and you shall discover the answer... Andrew Carthy, aka Mr Scruff , first broke into the UK DJ scene in 1994 and has since become a favourite of clubbers around the world. With six studio albums under his belt and another slated for later this year, I caught up with Scruff for a quick chat about music and cups of tea. As a DJ who has [...]
Last year I started writing for a magazine called CALMzine , the publication of CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), a nonprofit charity that was founded with support from trustee (and of course, someone who looms very large in the story of Manchester's musical heritage) Tony Wilson in 2006. CALM's initial intention and continuing campaign has been to help fight the high suicide rate of men under the age of 35 in the UK. While the campaign, Web site, magazine and online community targets men in this age group, the support [...]
★★★★☆ The Southport Weekender mix series has already bagged Kenny Dope, Joey Negro, Gilles Peterson, Dimitri from Paris and Joe Clausell as headliners and returns with two DJs who are more kindred spirits than you first may think on Vol. 9 . Mr Scruff , the zany fish-focused sampler, goes through his record box with a vintage to younger-than-you-think selection of funk and soul, defying expectations and showing qualified knowledge. Favoring fades over intricacy, the mix emerges from one of the festival's back tents, attaining acclaimed after-party status once the sun starts [...]
A new genre we've been talking about a lot - and that we expect will (hopefully) soon take over the world - is electro-swing, the combination between electro and 20s-style swing. Here's a playlist of five key sounds to emerge from the electro-swing music genre so far, from its roots with Mr. Scruff and Jurassic 5 to its current stars in Parov Stelar. 1. Original post: Genre Introduction: Electro-Swing 2. Posted in: jazz , Curated Playlists , electro , [...]
For the second year in a row, Juicy & The Doctor's Orders have teamed up and put on an event in Manchester to celebrate the life of J Dilla. This was the first of three similar events to take place in the UK this year and it went off with a bang. There were a couple of special guests this year; Phat Kat (who hosted the night and performed a couple of his classic tracks) and Dilla's mother, Ma Dukes Yancey. The sounds for the evening were provided by Manchester DJs Mr Scruff, Air Adam, Mr E, Illum Sphere, Jonny [...]

Le déjanté Mr Scruff a sorti il y a quelques mois un nouvel pous aux sonorités housy, funky qui plaira aux fans du producteur ou à ceux qui ont besoin de boire un coup. Pour rester fidèle à Scruff nous dirons du thé. « Feel It! » a un beat similaire à la disco classique des films d'horreur de la Hammer, « Across the Moor Tu Studio 54 « , à l'une des meilleures lignes de synthétiseur jouée à la main jamais entendue, du moins pour cette année. « Bounce [...]
