Mr Scruff @ Potterrow, 14 May

Super extended sets across the country as Mr Scruff rolls his part-brewery party shindig into Edinburgh.

We are unable to tell you what Andy Carthy (aka Mr Scruff) is likely to hit us with this time. His unpredictability remains utterly central to his DJ style. He says “I am now in a position where I can play a lot of esoteric and unusual music,” adding, “before increasing the energy levels at my own pace!” His laid-back demeanour perhaps hides the amount of effort Scruff puts into every performance, his average set-length beyond the five hour mark. This four day mini-tour is no different, with each Scottish city benefiting from five hours of genre mashing, trip-hop tinged soul, ska and breakbeat all chosen with the craft of a mindful set-builder. He sells his own brew at gigs too so you can sit-back, have a cuppa and inhale the atmosphere created by a polished performer, complete with quirky animations and eclecticism to boot.
