Jonty Skrufff: Biography
DJing at leading underground clubs including Golf Sale, Electrogogo and Drama, Jonty Skrufff has recently joined Londons thriving electro (clash) DJ circuit, spinning hi-energy pumping dance music that combines the best of
old and new electro-disco.
Drawing from his own experiences as one of New Yorks prototype cross-dressing club kids of the 80s and a life spent totally in club-land,
the nowadays London based DJ/ journalist also founded and continues to run
Skrufff-E, the hugely influential e-zine which has championed and helped
establish electro-disco internationally.
Read by everybody from Boy George (Its good to share wit and alternative
views with like-minded people, love it all) to Peaches (keep it cummi) to
DH Hell (a great newsletter with great links and great information)
Skrufff-E is at the heart of todays post house alternative club scene,
where dressing up and song based dance music matter more than faceless DJs
or 15 minute seamless mixes.
As well as DJing in London clubs, Jontys recently teamed up with Ministry
Of Sound to provide monthly mixes for their hugely popular radio station.
Were delighted to have Jonty onboard because we love the Skrufff e-zines
and also because none of the other DJs on the station plays the style of
music he selects, says Ministrys radio manager Robert Sharp.
The listeners like it too, when we broadcast his sets, the audience
increases.

Skrufff is where you get the inside track on our industry, without being tacky and questionable when it comes to the truth. An impartial commentator and true believer in club culture, long may it continue.

While we're locked up in our studio in the wilds of Connecticut, it's so great to get our Skrufff newsletter. After reading it, we feel like we're back in touch with civilization and we're actually part of what's happening.

Skrufff-E reminds me of the old days when Moneypenny sent out their fax-newsletter out of New York with all the info/ records/ dates and news you need. A great newsletter with great links and great information. Please more.
