Love this guy. Unpretentious, really loves vinyl, holds his records with care, and one of the best Crate Digger DJs I've seen. It would be fun to see him at work!
Saw him once in montreal in maybe 2001-2002-2003... minute for minute i have never seen a funkier dj set.
Living Legend! Saw him NYE in Manchester for his famed 9 hour sets...what a master class journey!! Big Up the Scruffington! Oh and at the end he was there at the front of the club greeting people in person!! Humble Legend!!
Opens the interview with such humbleness
Wow that Alice Clark record is super rare. Scruff is such a chill and humble dude.
Great album!!
If you have a chance to see him live, take it. Dude's like a fish in water.
A freshwater fish, with under water weapons.
In and out like a trout
Two fine trout
He started out in DJing in Atlas Bar when I used to work there when I was a student. Him on the decks then over to the Hacienda when my shift finished. Crazy, happy days.
"Keep it Unreal" was the first electronic album I ever got... love this guy!
helped him set up for an interview when I was at uni. had a great chat with him about African music.
Yoooo please make more episodes of this I still watch these 5-6 years later and they’re amazing please fuse!!!!
Surprised an American company is interviewing the legend that is, Mr. Scruff. America wasn't born-and-bred for electronic music like the UK even though house and techno was found in Chicago and Detroit.
never heard of him but he seems like he genuinely cares about the integrity of music. He knows his stuff too!
Joel Henderson he's the guy that done ninja tuna on the windows 7 sample music playlist
he's good look "music takes me up" and "pickled spiders" you also might like "sweetsmoke"
Had the honour of hearing him play live in Rotterdam, Netherlands.. MAAAAN!!! Eclectic beast DJ/producer.. Check him out if he comes to your town
He's a total legend and does an awesome DJ set.
I remember he played in a local club in Dundee and they set up the mezzanine as a coffee shop with his people he brought.
Very good vibes.
Luv and Peace.
one of the most fun DJs I've seen!!!)
Thanks .Andy Mrs Scuff,such a pleasant insight into your nucleus of vinyl addition,
1 of the best of this series .. Cheers
Mr Scruff is awesome. Go see him live, it's a great (5 hour) experience, you can check some of these sets on his Soundcloud. Dude knows his shit
Brilliant and as a wedding / corporate DJ most of the time I really relate to your comments about encompassing the crowd in your music choices combining that with club sensibilities when playing to a more expectant crowd always works for me. Top episode.
Refreshing honesty. So many DJ's are up themselves, and have only a fraction of his knowledge.
mr.scruff is an absolute legend and learnt a lot more from this great interview..love his artwork too...a proper dj who knows his stuff.
The ending was spot on.
Loved this episode.
I bloody love these crate digger sessions
me too but i think the "story time" sort of parts where they have an artist tell us a misleading story is a bit unnecessary.
Just recently found about them,probably one of the best things on youtube
The heir to John peel???
Get this guy on the radio!
That's the most sensible thing I've heard all week!
That's a bloody good idea.
Nice idea, but who would want to work for the BBC these days?
Keep it Solid Steel is one of my favorite mixes. Beautiful mixing through the genres. Definitely worth a listen if you've not heard it
enjoyed every minute of this.
Love it! A guy that knows his rare disco/soul.
I saw mr.scruff at the beat herder festival 2019 and he was awesome.... respect due my mate 👍💯😋💓
Great episode and great musical philosophy. I have been waiting for one of the dj's in this series to down talk serato and stand up for their vinyl collection! So nice to see that one (and I think he is the first one) of all these guys featured in this great series actually uses his vinyls when he is dj'ing! Almost all the great vinyl cratediggers/djs are using serato now a days. I understand it's easier and you have effects and instant doubles and all. And if you travel the world and dj all the time, then it's so much easier. But where is the love for the format and your record collection? Now everybody can download everything, and have all the rare tunes. The dj hides behind a computer and play by BPM instead of by heart and feeling. I think it's kinda sad.
Mr. Scruff, you are the man!!!
Amazing. really enjoyed that x
Legend. Superb slector
Interesting chap. Very honest, humble and likeable,
i thought that shit only happen'd to me....i talk about records all day and then i go to the record store and my brain completely flatline's EVERY TIME
I totally agree with what he said about the 1st press "Trophy" complex, If it sounds just as good on a re issue, who cares?
Al Redman I was honestly thinking the same thing the other day. I do understand that it's cool to have the first press especially if it's a different color or package but in the end I just want the music too.
Julian Wyllie Yeah it's cost dependent I suppose
+Al Redman If you have something from the time it was made, it feels like you have some relic from that time it was released in your hands. Hard to explain.. But yeah many go way too far with it, prices i wont pay ;)
wonderful episode on the importance of the audience!
LOVE Mr Scruff! Thank you for Posting!
A real education Andy alway love hearing you talk about music…. one. b
one of my fave dj since i start to learn how to plug the cable of 1200.
Crazy vinyl collections in these vids going to add these to my daily vlogs!
whenever there's vinyl there's stuff to talk about. one of the reasons why i set up a youtube channel.
Respect sir. I’m vinyl only when I dj for all the reasons you mentioned and wouldn’t have it any other way. I love selecting my stuff for the night.
Luv Mr. Scruff!
totally agree on his approach towards vinyl dj'ing... i do follow the same path for similar reasons.
Such a legend
hearing madness for the first time in the 70s ;) fuck yeah
like this guy's vibe
coolest dude on the show by a mile
Legend
this is a good one
You guys should hire Adam & Joe to bring back vinyl justice
Big fan of Mr. Scruff (Andy) you must do a funk/groove album.. love to hear his selection..
this came on in the background while i was working and focused on something else, hearing it on the peripheral after 30 seconds i thought this guy sounds legit and here i am ;) correct in my assessment, mr scruff indeed seems like a decent bloke ;)
I love Mr. Scruff. Great blending of genres into something greater than the sum of the parts.
>No musical stone left unturned
respect
I remember his Album Ninja Tuna from when I was younger 😭
Really cooll dude.Shiuld do a vdo showing us setting up for gig.Any other DJs who know Hermeto Pascoal?Personally love Airto.
WOW!!! I NEED FAMILY TREE ON 12 O_O
The man likes Roland Kirk. I'm impressed. Very impressed.
Awesome interview !!!!!! He is a fantastic Dj .. Check out his live vinyl set " Live at Piccadilly" on UA-cam ..
Passion play is a classic
growing with John Peel......he is just going to be a masterclass dj!
A true digger!
0:01 he dropped a GEM!!
CZ baby!!!
Gustav Brom!
Always fascinated me as to how they amass such a vast collection due to its cost! Presumably he was buying large collections and discarding bits he didnt want?
"few 45s there" it's just an entire 8'x3' shelf of 45s lol
That's totally bizarre. Have had Microwave Boogie stuck in my head all day and it shows up here!
Thumbs up.
If I tile my fireplace in sunflowers will I be good at music like sir scruff?
You are an excellent storyteller, Mr Scruff. You really... Wait for it.... "Get a Move on.." haha
Are U the guy who made Win 7 sample music ?
id love to visit with you,for a good weekend. and just listen and enjoy Music,for daysss
Did anybody else see the 1999 record at the bottom of the screen at 5:43
i searched at that timeslot at 5:43,and he did Not even have an album in his hands.at all. sorry
i have always played requests if it is possible to do so and sometimes it can really inspire your performance
check out pickled spider
spot world is a ghetto disco mix by war incredible 12"!
id like to know your opinion of dollar binz. all album are just one dollar,and ive bought 30 inthe last two weeks of me going in and out of there. you just have to be VERY VERY Careful and check out the disc lp very closely. ive got bitten only once,and well i ahd the album already but i love having sometimes two of a certain person. but YES. what do you think of the 1 Dollar binz. here,in america
If you want a nourishing fish dish, you MUST DO AS I SAY.
Think you guys could get DJ Frane on here?
I'm not gonna lie, he really looks like Louis C.K.
I know right!
Isn't this the dude who made that Windows 7 Song?
Hey Mr. Scruff, what's your favourite Electro tune?
jvc force - big stax dope record
Bet he was always in A&M and BJ's record shops. Not got the strong local accent though. Knows his onions.
Captain Beefheart ftw
keep it simple
Mans needs to sleep, he has a great radio voice though, would love a podcast of him talking music
Eating fish
I agree the song is good as it is don't touch otherwise WHY are you playing it to begin with?
What scruff doesn't know about music you could fit it on a match box...
i doubt that. although collectors and dj's - two groups i do belong to - do know a shitload of stuff about music and records there's always a ton of stuff we don't know. that's why we're collecting and looking out for more unheard stuff.
plus: i'm pretty sure if you found one record that is both in my and in mr. scruff's collection we'd be telling you totally different things about it because each collector / dj has a different focus and also different memories attached to specific records.
first?
the comments here aren't real. "He Rocks...he needs to DJ...know his stuff..." crap...
It’s super pretentious to assume that “taking requests” during a serious paid DJ set is nothing more than, “oh, I’ve never heard of that record; I should give it a go.”
That is a problem. A true performing DJ would never play a song they have never heard well.
