Listen "Mr Scruff"
Episode Synopsis
Mr Scruff, a British DJ, found his passion for music at a young age. As a twelve-year-old, he was captivated by the Street Sounds Electro series and the art of mixing. Initially, he didn't fully comprehend the intricacies of DJing, but as he tried it himself, he realized the complexity involved. Despite being isolated in his musical interests, he delved into the world of radio and magazines, discovering the deep and vibrant culture of DJing. Motivated by his love for the music, he decided to give it a go, starting out with no equipment or knowledge. However, his youthful inventiveness and abundance of free time allowed him to slowly grasp the craft. During this time, Mr Scruff enjoyed a variety of music, from pop to the eclectic sounds of John Peel and Tony Blackburn. With limited radio stations available in the 80s, he embraced whatever the airwaves had to offer. Eventually, he stumbled upon specialist music through a friend's uncle who possessed all the Electro albums. This led him to dive deeper into the world of DJing, never looking back.
