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. 16 years since the release of his classic, ‘Ninja Tuna’, the album will be released for the first time on vinyl in the form of a deluxe 3LP pressed on Black biovinyl housed in a greyboard gatefold sleeve featuring an infinity peelable tuna sticker on the cover. The classic album, with extra bonus tracks. Features Roots Manuva, Quantic, Alice Russell, Andreya Triana, Danny Breaks, Pete Simpson and Skuff & Inja.

Digital download code included.

Press quotes from the original album release: “Probably his best work to date, and that’s a pretty big claim.” – The Times; “Scruff proceeds to whip up one infectious mess after another from his larder of breaks, synths and jazz loops.” – Independent; “Irresistible” – The Observer; “Everyone’s favourite tea-drinking überjock returns with yet another uplifting, nugget.” – DJ Mag; “Foot-tapping funk and ball-busting breaks. Get the kettle on, pour yourself some local ale and enjoy.” – Mixmag; “Foot-tappingly irresistible, heart-warming album.” – Metro
