Long time mixtape master and lover of the rare groove, Manchester’s Mr. Scruff drops the week’s Essential Mix on Radio 1—a blend of funk, soul, disco, house and more, all wrapped up in a big ol’ old skool bow.

One of Manchester’s finest, this Ninja Tune regular has held a ‘Keep It Unreal’ residency in Manchester for 10+ years and is known for his eclectic tastes and marathon seven-hour sets. 

In this mix we get a smorgasbord of everyone from Theo Parrish, to the Ragga Twins, to James Brown, and back to the Scruff man himself.
