│ Biography: ││
│ ││
│ Once Mr Scruff was plain Andy Carthy. And then he wasn't. ││
│ Sometime artist, DJ, Peak District wanderer, and Stockport's ││
│ very own, Mr Carthy started his musical career a mere nine ││
│ years ago. ││
│ ││
│ Formerly a part time fine art student at Sheffield ││
│ University, Scruff decided to explore his strange passion ││
│ both in rounded line drawings and music. An electro-ska-hip ││
│ -hop kid and bedroom bod from what hip hop fellas call ││
│ "time", Carthy started making tapes in 1983 using the very ││
│ finest in pause button technology. His passion for hearing ││
│ music that he couldn't hear out anywhere else led him into ││
│ the world of DJing - first of all as a kid with one deck - ││
│ then, after hearing electro albums he became determined to ││
│ mix. The result was that by 1994 he was out DJing in clubs ││
│ around Manchester. ││
│ ││
│ Despite DJing being his first and foremost love, Scruff had ││
│ always messed about with the recording process. At the ││
│ tender age of 8 he started making up tapes of pretend radio ││
│ shows (oh where are those tapes now?) and then faffing about ││
│ on drum machines. by the age of 13 he was having a laugh ││
│ with mates being in silly bands with silly names. The very ││
│ end result of all this was a good few vinyl outings on Robs ││
│ Records and Pleasure, including the now-legendary track, ││
│ "Chicken In A Box" - simple maybe, but simply fantastic! "A ││
│ happy accident," he claims. "Well, more like an educated ││
│ guess..." Whilst his total love of DJing informs his music ││
│ making ability, he doesn't consciously try and make ││
│ something that will work on the dancefloor; he's more likely ││
│ to want to know "Do you like it? Does it make you go wibbly. ││
│ Does it frimble?" Questions we should all be asking ││
│ ourselves. ││
│ ││
│ Since his debut vinyl excursion he has recorded and remixed ││
│ for over 30 labels including Warp, Sirkus, Disorient, Blood ││
│ & Fire, Cup Of Tea and, of course, Ninja Tune. He's worked ││
│ with Mark Rae and Grand Central. He has DJed all over the ││
│ bloody shop, turning down more gigs than he takes on. If ││
│ they won't let him have a long spot, he doesn't bother; a ││
│ 'take-the-money-and-run' merchant he certainly is not! He ││
│ has dug in crates and found obscure records with references ││
│ to marine fauna. He's done bloody loads, basically, all of ││
│ it with more than a vague hint of humour. ││
