His DJ name was inspired by his scruffy facial hair, as well as his trademark loose-lined drawing style. He has been DJing since 1994, at first in and around Manchester then nationwide. He is known for DJing 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 associated with his music. In an interview he said: "It’s about putting a lot of effort in and paying attention to detail. I get annoyed if I don’t take risks. I’m very hard on myself."

Mr. Scruff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or screaming, that's what I like
Sometimes I like to say goodnight, turn out the light
Start dreaming, that's what I like
Everyone knows when they're dreaming
They want this dream to go on
They want to find out if it will turn out
Nightmares will disappear while dreams keep on living
Tell me you have no fears of things you can't control
Baby baby baby life is a dream machine and
The only way they will come true
Is if you open your heart to me
Sleep baby sleep where do you go
Another world will consciously believing
Keep baby keep an open mind cause you will find
Most of the time it's deceiving
Nightmares will disappear while dreams keep on living
Tell me you have no fears of things you can't control
Baby baby baby life is a dream machine
And the only way it will come true
Is if you open your heart to me yeah
Nightmares will disappear while dreams keep on living
Tell me you have no fears of things you can't control
Baby baby baby life is a dream machine
And the only way it will come true

These lyrics convey a sense of escapism and the desire to experience the freedom and happiness that dreams offer. The first verse expresses the singer's preference for solitude, devoid of distractions like a phone or noisy surroundings. This allows them to have moments of peace and tranquility. They enjoy saying goodnight, turning off the lights, and entering the realm of dreams where anything is possible. It is a space where they find solace and delight.
The chorus highlights the universal longing to prolong pleasant dreams and the anticipation of how they will unfold. Dreams represent a refuge from reality's limitations and uncertainties. They provide hope and the possibility of a positive outcome. The song suggests that even though nightmares exist, they eventually fade away, while dreams persist, implying there is always the chance for a brighter future.
The second verse emphasizes the idea that dreams can be deceptive. While dreams can captivate and enchant, they can also mislead and disguise reality. It encourages keeping an open mind to navigate through the illusions that dreams can create. The bridge conveys the notion that life itself is akin to a dream machine. To make dreams come true, one must be vulnerable and open-hearted.
Overall, the song expresses a yearning for the limitless possibilities and optimism that dreams provide, while acknowledging the uncertainty and potential danger they can entail.
