first release from mr. scruff on his own ninja tune imprint, called, wait for it, ninja tuna.
oh yes, the man is having fun, which given he has bankrolled the label following sales of 479,873 (approx.) records he has every right to let loose a little.
subsequently, the plan is that over the next 18 months, ninja tuna are set to release all manner of quirky goodies emblazoned with scruffs well loved fishy artwork.
however, prior to all that is the new single.
given that mr scruff is known for easy on the ear loops and samples, and a cheeky smile, i’ll give you three guesses as to the style he and quantic pianist, andy kingslow have come up with ?
that’s right.
donkey ride is all about a funky piano riffs and a laid back summer funky groove that will put a smile on anyone’s face when the track is permeating from your festival of choice soundsystem.
‘tother side, giant pickle, is more of the same smoothness, but lacks the addictive piano riffs, and instead goes for strings, cowbell, and a hip hop beat to keep the feet shuffling.
the man and his menagerie are touring, including a highly popular keep it unreal session up in manchester, so check the highly enjoyable mr. scruff website for more details.
