Mr. Scruff
Ninja Tune
From his highly inventive animation to his wildly eclectic DJ sets to his downright funky production work, one thing sticks out about Mr. Scruff, and that's his sense of humor. Scruff (Andy Carthy to his mum, dad, and close friends) did his time as a fine art student at Sheffield University before delving headfirst into the wibbly world of music. An accomplished DJ since '94, his five-hour DJ sets at the likes of Fabric, 333 Old Street, and his own night, Keep It Unreal, have established him as one of the world's finest freeform spinners. Scruff's extensive production credits include recording and remixing for over 30 labels, including Warp, Sirkus, Disorient, Blood & Fire, Cup Of Tea, and most recently, Ninja Tune. "Get A Move On," taken from his most recent Ninja full-length, Keep It Unreal, is a '40s swing-influenced breakbeat track that puts Fatboy Slim to shame. France Telecom was so impressed with the track they licensed it for their national TV campaign. Suffice to say, the scruffy one was unfazed.
