MR. SCRUFF THIS FRIDAY AT MIGHTY ( SF ) DJ SET
MR. SCRUFF
Mighty: 119 Utah Street
10:00pm - 4:00am
Don't miss an exclusive Dj set with one of the most unique and eclectic producer/djs on planet Earth, the legendary Mr Scruff. Scruff will begin his set promptly at 10pm and will play all night, probably from 4-6 hours straight in a marathon of genre bending joy. In his last performance at Mighty, Scruff dropped dub, hip hop, acid jazz, drum and bass and of course his own peculiar brand of musical breakbeat. There is simply noone that quite compares to Mr Scruff for his impeccably uncompromising taste and his exceptional ability to mix the rarest vinyl flawlessly. Mr. Scruff's DJ name was inspired by his spotty facial hair, and his trademark loose-lined drawing style. He has been DJing since 1994, and is known for in marathon sets (often exceeding six hours), his eclectic musical taste, his love of a "nice cup of tea" and the quirky home-produced visuals and animations that are projected on large screens during his gigs.
Sunset is also holding an all-45's summit on the other soundsystem featuring local legends DJ ZEPH, DJ CENTIPEDE, MOTION POTION and more...

HOW A RECORD GETS LEAKED
At The Studio: As soon as a record is finished, anyone from the producer to the engineer to the band members can spoil the fun. (4 months before release)
At The Label: Labels send albums to companies like Sonic Arts to add a digital encryption code that can identify evildoers…but not necessarily stop them. (3 1/2 months before release)
By The Press: Considered to be the most common source of album leakage, watermarks or not. Oops! (3 months before release)
At The Plant: While in the process of being manufactured, a CD is ostensibly secured under lock and key, but sometimes copies fall off the back of trucks. (1 month before release)
At The Warehouse: Once CDs await shipping to retailers, it’s virtually guaranteed that a copy will find its way online. (2 weeks before release)
At Retail: And of course, once an album is for sale online and in stores, all bets are off.

“Dub Echoes” is an amazing newly produced documentary about Dub and its influence on the development of contemporary electronic music worldwide. Three years in the making and featuring an incredible array of artists – both Jamaican legends (U Roy, King Jammy, Lee Perry, Sly and Robbie, Bunny Lee, to name a few), alongside a similarly awe-inspiring array of artists who have taken Dub into new directions in electronic dance music in the 21st Century (Kode9, Roots Manuva, Howie B, Adrian Sherwood) and many more.
Directed by Bruno Natal and released on Soul Jazz Records, this film has already received many awards throughout the world and is hotly anticipated – a killer film that can be watched again and again. The DVD comes with loads of extras and a limited-edition free poster in first 1000 copies.

Its About Time.
U.K. Government Proposes £26 Million Stimulus For The Music Industry
In yet another case of “Why the hell not in America?”, the U.K. government has started up a new initiative that would give the music industry 26 million pounds to help create new jobs during the recession.
James Purnell, the U.K.’s culture secretary, has said that 50 million pounds have been allotted to the creative industry to try and help create new jobs. The U.K. is giving half of the money to the music industry, in hopes that they will use their popular festival circuit to create over 200 new jobs. The U.K. (like America) has seen their festival scene explode in recent years, gaining immense popularity and producing revenues from festivals like Reading and Leeds, and Glastonbury.
The government is taking the money for the new initiative from the Department of Work and Pensions, and according to Gigwise, they will be continuing to create more jobs in different sectors of the music industry in the future. [via The Daily Swarm]

SUNDAY SOUL
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM. I LOVE YOU. THIS SONG IS FOR YOU, AND ALL THE MOTHERS OUT THERE. EVERY SUNDAY I'M SERVING THE BREAKFAST JAM OF THE DAY.
THE PRETENDERS - I CALL IT LOVE 1974
DIGGING AT MOM'S HOUSE
LYRICS:
Don�t look now, we�re branded, we�re the black sheep
Sewn apart and Siamese � the black sheep
When the water seems too deep
The shadows always wait beneath
But laughing loud we brave the role of black sheep
If you see me you�ll be crossing the street
Or kick me and then leave me to bleed
If looks could kill wouldn�t need all the pills
But I take what it needs to be easy we're the black
sheep now
Don�t look now, we�re stranded here as black sheep
Swallowed whole and out of reach � the black sheep
Unsafe enough for now
We�re shepherded from higher ground
But drowned all out we save the role of black sheep
If you see me you�ll be crossing the street
Or kick me and then leave me to bleed
If looks could kill wouldn�t need all the pills
But I take what it needs to be easy we're the black
sheep now
