XLR8R

The inimitable Andy Carthy (a.k.a. Mr. Scruff) furnished us with the latest installment of the XLR8R Podcast, and it's a trip through soul, R&B, dub, leftfield rhythms, and even a few Latin flavors, proving he's still one of the most eclectic-minded DJs on the planet. The Macclesfield, England-born DJ and producer is well known for his marathon DJ sets (which sometimes run over six hours), love of tea, quirky cartoon drawings, and taste for obscure 7-inches, many of which are included in this exclusive, hour-long mix, which, we discovered, goes very nicely with a warm beverage and a rainy afternoon.
