Mr. Scruff – ‘Friendly Bacteria’ Lp Influences

The unmistakable Mr. Scruff is set to release his new album 'Friendly Bacteria' on May 19th via NinjaTune and he's been kind enough to let us know what inspired the album. As well as this, being the true gent that he is, we've got a copy of the album AND tickets to his show at The Roundhouse, Camden on 31st May to give away. Email comps@theransomnote.co.uk with the subject 'SCRUFFY' for your chance to win.
This is the first tune I saw him play live, which explains very well why I asked him if he wanted to collaborate! The way he works with loops to build up layers to create an intriguing soulful fog is a joy to behold, and bear in mind that this video is nearly 7 years old, so imagine what he is like live now!
