referencing Keep It Solid Steel, CD, Mixed, Comp, ZEN CD84

Intro – Stockport’s finest Mr Scruff delivers the first in a series of mix cds that aim to reflect his rather wonderful ‘Keep it unreal’ night in deepest darkest Manchester.

Highlights – With 31 tracks there’s bound to be something for everyone but most people will surely, surely agree that Ultramagnetic Mcs “Ego Trippin” is a strictly old skool hip hop gem .

Lowlights – With 31 tracks there’s bound to be something that everyone thinks is crap and surely its the big pile of jazz wank that is Pharaoh Sanders “You’ve Got To Have Freedom”.

Outro – Oh Mr Scruff, how eclectic art thou! There’s so many different styles thrown down from deep jazzy business to classic hop hop via funk, reggae and soul that it could sound muddled in less experienced hands but in Mr Scruff the tracks weave and mesh sweetly.
