Mr Scruff
A true national treasure, Manchester's Andrew Carthy (aka Mr. Scruff) is a producer, cartoonist and cross-genre selector who loves to play long DJ sets, and occasionally B2B sets with similarly wide-eared end excitable DJs.
He has been DJing since 1984, and has been getting paid for it since 1994. His DJ sets can range from deep soul to funk, reggae to afro, jazz to latin, hip-hop to harder edged electro, house to new wave, techno to electronica, often all in the same night.
A sound obsessive who likes to get in the venue early to set up and sound check, he brings his mixer, effects, vinyl (unless he is playing upside down on a windy boat), cables, a sound engineer and some boiled eggs.
Sometimes he brings VJ Jim or MC Kwasi.
He usually brings socks, but occasionally forgets.
All welcome, regardless of age, nationality, mobility, gender or sexuality.
Regulars & first timers getting down together... mixed up music for a lovely mix of people!
