Mr Scruff & Floating Points DJ set from Plastic People, Sat 25 June 2011

A six hour DJ session from Manchester's Band on the Wall alongside the incredible @tarzsa_williams, hosted by MC Kwasi. 

Mostly uptempo styles on this one, and some mega energy on the dance floor. Had some great feedback during the night about Tarzsa. Big shout to all the venue crew, regulars and first timers!

Mr. Scruff B2B Tarzsa - Band on the Wall, Manchester (February 2024)

Here's a B2B set from the Social in London on Friday July 26th, 2024. We decided to play only music from the Paradise Garage all-night (it would have been the resident DJ, Larry Levan's 70th birthday a few days before). Five hours long. Tuck in.

BILL BREWSTER & FRANK BROUGHTON | The Social, LDN, 26th July 2024 (Larry Levan Tribute)

Big shout to the Bounce crew at Biko in Milan for a well needed, properly vibey gig! The dance crew got busy with their regular 1 hour warm up session, then resident @Turbojazz and I played for 6 hours.

Big thanks to Otta, Elem, Jack and all the Biko staff, Grace, Byron, Samoo, the amazing dancers and everyone who joined us!

Mr Scruff B2B Turbojazz - The Bounce, Milan (September 2024)

Next up in our mix series, we're stopping by Love Dancin' for an extended 4 hour Friday night journey.

Join us as Mr Scruff & Charlie Dark land in charge of selections alongside the legendary MC Kwasi & Vanessa Freeman jump in on vocal duties.

While these four need no introduction, we couldn't help but give you a little whistle stop tour of these incredible artists:

>> Mr Scruff
DJ, Producer & Cartoonist 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.

>> Charlie Dark
Raised in South London on a diet of pirate radio and warehouse parties, Charlie Dark has been spinning records and igniting dance floors since the early eighties. If you ever caught his Blacktronica Parties at the legendary Plastic People then you’ll know that 'All forms of music in one room the way it used to be’ has always been his motto and his record crates run deep to live by that mantra.

>> MC Kwasi
Black Swan Lane and The Chameleons member MC Kwasi has worked with more artists and DJs than you could imagine. Possibly most famous as Mr Scruff's right wing man, the loveable MC was the host of the seminal Friends & Family events and has been featured on tracks with the likes of Suns Of Arqa, The Messengers, Mark Rae, DJ Vadim and Beatphreak.

>> Vanessa Freeman
Last but not least Singer, songwriter and performer Vanessa Freeman. Vanessa's voice is an experience to behold, immediately distinctive, unadulterated quality and sheer joy. Her live performances are spiritual, recordings timeless and her songs sublime. Vanessa's musical career started early when she joined the local church chorus at the age of twelve and her impact has been felt by many notably for the huge contribution to the acid jazz revival in the nineties.

Together they bring one of our most outstanding collective performances this year. Sit back and relax or get up and dance.

A set that works in every way possible - this one's perfect for winding up or winding down.
