Join us for an exclusive Dj set with one of the most unique and eclectic producer/djs on planet Earth, the legendary Mr Scruff. Scruff will begin his set promptly at 10pm and will play all night, probably from 4-6 hours straight in a marathon of genre bending joy. In his last performance at Mighty, Scruff dropped dub, hip hop, acid jazz, drum and bass and of course his own peculiar brand of musical breakbeat. There is simply noone that quite compares to Mr Scruff for his impeccably uncompromising taste and his exceptional ability to mix the rarest vinyl flawlessly.
Mr. Scruff's DJ name was inspired by his spotty facial hair, and his trademark loose-lined drawing style. He has been DJing since 1994, and is known for in marathon sets (often exceeding six hours), his eclectic musical taste, his love of a "nice cup of tea" and the quirky home-produced visuals and animations that are projected on large screens during his gigs. Scruff's debut album, Mr. Scruff, was released on the small Manchester-based label Pleasure Records. He soon moved to the larger Ninja Tune label, and subsequently released the albums Keep It Unreal and Trouser Jazz. His most notable hit "Get a Move On" is built around "Bird's Lament (In Memory of Charlie Parker)" by Moondog, and has been used in several commercials ranging from Lincoln and Volvo automobiles to France Télécom and GEICO insurance. All of his albums contain tracks about fish, whales and other sea-life, which cut up recordings of voiceovers from children's stories and nature documentaries to create surreal and silly stories. His album artwork and music videos are noted for their whimsical cartoonish look; many of the cartoons are drawn by Scruff himself, in what he calls "potato style." His sets are musical journeys that cannot be described to those who have not experienced them.
We are also holding an all-45's summit on the other soundsystem featuring local legends DJ ZEPH, DJ CENTIPEDE, MOTION POTION and more...
