Sandro Orrù[1] (born January 8, 1968, Rome),[2] known as DJ Gruff,[1] Gruffetti[1] or Lowdy N.C.N., is a pioneer of the Italian hip hop scene.
During a few nights in local venues in Torino, he developed a new approach to playing music -an endless series of mixtapes with extreme scratching sessions conducted on a mixer built for other purposes.
Customized switches half melted on a flame, extremely long slides and unsuitable needles could not stop his desire to develop the kind of instrument that in time would become the most popular in the world.
