Mr. Scruff, whose real name is Andrew Carthy, is a British electronic music producer and DJ known for his eclectic blend of genres, including jazz, soul, funk, and trip-hop, among others. Born in Macclesfield, England, in 1972, Mr. Scruff rose to prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s with a style characterized by playful melodies, quirky samples, and a cartoonish sense of humor, often reflected in his animated music videos and the scribbly, cartoon-style characters that adorn his album covers.

With a career spanning over two decades, Mr. Scruff has gained a reputation for marathon DJ sets that can last for six hours or more, earning him a loyal following for his stamina and eclectic selections. His tracks "Get a Move On" and "Fish" found popularity beyond the dance floors, featuring in commercials and gaining radio play. Alongside his passion for creating and performing music, Mr. Scruff is also noted for his tea company, Make Us a Brew, combining his love for quality loose-leaf tea with his musical endeavors. Releases like "Love Bomb," "DJ-Kicks (Mr. Scruff) [DJ Mix]," and a series of remixes such as "We Are Coming (Max Graef Remix)" and "Feel Free (Scruff's 12" Re-Tweak)" attest to Mr. Scruff's enduring presence in the contemporary electronic music scene, always infusing his work with a sense of fun and boundless creativity.
