About this event
Mr Scruff & MC Kwasi took over Faith In Strangers on 19th January for an all-night session. In Scruff’s words: “Massive thanks to Faith In Strangers for a brilliant night. A real gem of a venue, run by passionate geeks, with a beautiful sound system & friendly staff. The welcoming atmosphere and brilliant crowd made Kwasi & I feel very inspired. We had so much fun and can’t wait to come back!”
“As a DJ, Andy Carthy aka Mr. Scruff plays across the board, flitting between soul, funk, hip hop, jazz, reggae, Latin, African, ska, disco, house, funk, breaks, soundtracks and loads more. As a producer he makes music that draws on these influences, with a large dose of cheek and good humour. His cartoon drawings illustrate gig flyers, record sleeves and CD covers, and usually accompany him at gigs as live animated visuals.
Carthy’s first encounter with mixing was as a 12 year old in late 1984, when a friend played him some of his uncle’s electro records, notably the Streetsounds LPCrucial Electro Volume 1, opening his eyes and ears to the art of mixing records. Soon after he was constructing his own crude pause-button mixtapes, inspired by the electro compilations and various radio shows on stations such as Piccadilly, Radio Lancashire & Southside that exposed him to electro and hip-hop, soul, reggae and early house music. Shouts to John Peel (of course), Greg Wilson, Robbie Vincent, Richard Searling, Stu Allan, Lee Browne, Ranking Miss P, Scotty, Tony the Greek, Steve Barker, Gary Hickson, Sam Brown & Waxmaster.”
Mr Scruff returns to Faith in Strangers this coming January, joined by MC Kwasi.
Tickets available on DICE& RA.
