As a DJ, Andy Carthy aka Mr. Scruff plays across the board, moving between soul, funk, hip hop, jazz, reggae, Latin, African, ska, disco, house, electro, 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. His cartoon drawings illustrate gig flyers, posters, record sleeves, T-shirts and occasionally accompany him at gigs as live animated visuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrouser Jazz\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e- recorded largely at Carthy's home studio with engineer Danny Evans - neatly encapsulated Scruff's ethos, his\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ejoie de vivre\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand his inimitable combination of tight-knit funk, expansive sonics and dance-floor dynamite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"The album is a real mixture of moods and tempos, just like my DJ sets, twisting my influences and inspirations into different shapes,\" explains Andy. \"It was also the time when I started to develop my low-end addiction, as tracks such as 'Ug' and 'Shelf Wobbler' testify. The collaborations were enjoyable, too, from Bernard Moss' one-take flute that Seaming \u0026amp; Sneaky built a track around on 'Valley of the Sausages,' Braintax's medieval working-class themed rap on 'Vibrate,' Sneaky's bass and Andy Kingslow's abrasive synth solo on 'Shrimp' (which was the first of many tracks we did together), Andy K again on 'Champion Nibble,' Niko's glorious \u0026amp; touching vocals on 'Come Alive' and Seaming's otherworldly vocals on 'Beyond.'
