Keep It Unreal

Mr. Scruff

Playful sampling. Dusty jazz loops meet aquatic field recordings and educational snippets for the ultimate Sunday morning soundtrack.

Find on Amazon

The best record ever made about fish, tea, and 1930s jazz loops.

A playful and eccentric celebration of vinyl culture and aquatic curiosity.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition from the Moondog-sampling jazz swing into the driving breakbeat of Get a Move On.
The surreal educational narration about frogmen and trout over a deep, bubbling bassline on Fish.
The way the soulful, smoky vocals of Sneaky in Honeydew drift over the crisp, minimalist percussion.
