Thomas Bangalter! What a pleasant surprise.
james baker dorset
Great mix and tunes as allways. nice!
JB, Leeds
Woooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! I wondered if all the fun nights I've had dancing at Mr Scruff gigs would be adequately represented in an Essential Mix. The answer is... yes.Better than dunking a pasty into a nice cup of tea.
Paul Curran, Caracas, Venezuela
Yeah baby! I saw the Scruff in Kentish Town, London a few years ago. He raised the roof and my barnet. Mental set!
Ben, London

bored of Mr. Scruff - just because it's quirky doesn't make it clever.

Pop the kettle on
Andrew, Cannock
Wow! Lovin the edit of James Brown's `Get on the good foot`. A great mix.
Kazuma Japan
It`s good mix!
dazza Austin , Texas USA
This man can do know wrong here as he is blessed with the funk and the soul that few dj's can say they have. Over the years he has put out such great tracks and his djing gigs give everyone that comes out a great night out and thats what we want really isn't it ? Whether it be downtempo or his take on house music Mr Scruff does it with panache . Great essential mix . Thank you !!!!!
Jimmy, Rome
Great!!!
Jon G. - Atlanta USA
Greg Wilson two weeks ago and now this - Madchester in full effect, and as a soul boy from way back I am very happy - notably both featured huge Talking Heads tracks... Are Scruffs &/or Wilson going to WMC Miami??? - If so put it on your websites and we will see you there...
Chris in Brecon

Gary,Islington
This and the Greg Wilson mix have been superb.Im in love with that Zed Bias n Jenna G track and that Theo-Chemistry track is aceBig up the Scruffy one!
Alex James, Bromley, Kent.
Hmmmm. The first half hour was a bit slow but after that it began to take off. I love this jazzy, funky sort of stuff but only at the beginning of an evening. It gets a bit plod alongish after a while. Great if you're into this sort of thing but I prefer my tunes with a bit more "ooomph".
Phil Baxter, Aspecto Glasgow
Anyone who plays Q Tip gets my vote, Mr Scruff is a pure heavy legend, big up from the Glasgow Massif! Word......Keep it unreal!
Kyle!!! San Diego, Cali Love
UHHHHH! that's how it's done! Truly enjoy your style! Not going to say anything cliche like "how smart the mix was", but..... man o man you're a boneafide genius! UHHHH! Peace through music, baby.
Jon in Bath
I should be watching him in Manchester now. Trains and snow standing in my way. This is almost good enough as a replacement! Almost
King Darren of Aigburth, Liverpool.

Mr. Scruff NEVER disappoints! His music is an olympic athlete carrying souls straight to heaven and back without even spilling his tea!
Brian, Leeds
Pretty crap to be honest wouldn't pay to see that.
Mr Jolly, Oxford
2 hours is just not enough time to enjoy a mug of tea and Mr Scruff. This should have been a Bank Holiday special with a full 6 hours devoted. Make us a brew!!
Nick Cox, Falmouth
The thing that I adore most about this musical genius is that fact that although I have seen him live 5 times now, he always manages to surprise me put me in a good mood. For a man who cannot play any instruments, he is exceptional. Thank you Mr Scruff. Thank you!
Rick, Yorkshire
Refreshing and not genre obsessive!
