Ninja Tuna is the fourth studio album by British record producer Andrew "Mr. Scruff" Carthy, released on 6 October 2008 through Carthy's personal Ninja Tune imprint Ninja Tuna.
The track "Kalimba", which is a pop rock song, with synthesizers, and contains influences of jazz, electronic, and dance pop, was selected by Microsoft as the sample music for Windows 7 to demonstrate the new Windows Media Player.
A compilation of outtakes of the album, entitled Bonus Bait, was released in the following year.
In 2009 it was awarded a silver certification from the Independent Music Companies Association which indicated sales of at least 30,000 copies throughout Europe.[3]
