MR. SCRUFF guest mix + new music from ROMAN FLUGEL, SBTRKT + APHEX TWIN are featured on this week’s program. MR JOSHUA digs deep for the first hour, pulling funk, soul + abstract beats from across eras to set up a special MR SCRUFF guest mix in the second hour. this sliver of a marathon 7 hour set, at chicago’s SMART BAR, demonstrates MR SCRUFF’s staggering diversity. using a custom mixing console, effects rig and an array of decks, he effortlessly mixes classic soul, hip hop, breaks, acid house, disco and african music for the dancefloor. the manchester UK artist’s sixth album “friendly bacteria” channels similar influences through the signature cheeky style, also found in the huge volume of hand-drawn illustrations made for his releases and most club appearances (pirated in our graphic for this show).
