🎧 Mr. Scruff – Mr. Scruff (1997)

Debut album blending trip-hop, downtempo, breakbeat and jazz-influenced textures. Warm, slightly lo-fi samples and playful audio collages already define Mr. Scruff’s early identity — relaxed, quirky, and unmistakably human in feel.

A strong snapshot of late-90s UK electronic experimentation before his sound fully evolved into cult status.
