Mr Scruff

Great back to back to back DJ session on the @dubsmugglers soundsystem at this year's @dimensionsfestival in Croatia, alongside @floatingpoints, Tom Smith from the ace Cosmic Slop night in Leeds, ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/211633616863/ ) all held together by the mighty MC Kwasi. We all played vinyl, one or two tunes each for most of the session, with a slightly longer set each towards the end.

Massive thanks to everyone involved!

Bambino, Paris | May 2022 | Live Mix

Recording of a set I played @ Bambino (Paris) early January 2023

Live @ Bambino

Yes what a night again in my favorite bar in Nijmegen. PAAK.

Davy Brandts & Mr. Scruff Live @ Paak (Part1)

A deep mix of some of the tunes I found in the last months. This is the first mix I put out and showcases the style I really love playing.

I hope you guys enjoy!

If you know me a little bit then you know that slow jams and soul are some of my favourite sounds to dance to, at home OR in the club.

So here's 3.5 hours of vinyl only, heartfelt analog memories. 2 bags full dragged on the Thalys and a lime bike for a packed Bambino in my favourite arrondissement. Enjoy this lush recording of some of my favourite pieces of soul music on wax. Recorded on October 28th 2022.

Live from Lost Village - Mr Scruff

Beginning 1st hour of my recent set @ Bambino (Paris) for their 4 years anniversary, where I was deejaying along with Edouard from JAW Family. Only kept 1st hour as sound went too loud for the rest of the night & recording didn't succeed :)

Live @ Bambino - 4 years anniversary | 24 November 2023

Lovely, soulful, intimate, energetic night at this brilliant venue. Big shout out to all in attendance, to Philip, Guido, Chelsea & all the venue crew for helping out! Special mention to Oscar Poiesz for a great warm up set in the bar beforehand. You can download the whole thing here.. http://download.mrscruff.com/code/rotter

This was recorded live at my monthly 'Keep It Unreal' residency in Manchester, plying mostly vinyl with a couple of cds thrown in there too. The venue at the time was the Music Box, a sweaty, dark basement, which is now a Tesco. Listening back, I can feel the atmosphere, the heat, and a room full of lovely people enjoying the music. Now that same room is full of stock assistants & chilled celery. Oh well! We have since moved the night to Band on the Wall, and will be celebrating the 15th year of Keep it Unreal in June 2014.

Mr Scruff DJ Mix from London Koko, Saturday 16th february 2013

Davy Brandts is voor de Nijmeegse locals al jaren geen onbekende meer. Hij is vanaf 2004 wekelijks actief als dj in het nachtleven van Nijmegen en omgeving. Van jarenlang resident in Billabong en jazz op de Waalkade tot aan Techno op Planet Rose. Als dj staat hij er om bekend dat hij de dikste disco/house naadloos aan elkaar draait. De afgelopen jaren was hij ook kind aan huis op de evenementen van DRIFT, 8BAHN en Doornroosje. Door de diversiteit aan boekingen is Davy Brandts niet vies van een uitstapje richting een ander genre. Vandaag de dag zijn, zijn sets dan ook een gerijpte blend van warme rauwe house en disco. Altijd beïnvloed door een waslijst aan jazz, funk en soul artiesten. Zwart als de nacht, meeslepend, zwoel en toch energiek. (Drift Festival 2012)
