Mr. Confuse - Right On / Low Life
How good is this? Mr. Confuse shows his talent to build hard hittin’ beats in a conscious hiphop style. Drop the needle for this funky beatmonster and a prancing piano hook with classy sax stabs sure will infect you. Cool down on a massive horns break until the saxophone steps into a dirty chopped Public Enemy style. Flip for the slow burning funk groover ‘Low Life’. Starting with some catchy stabs this souldchild turns into an echo from the past. Well balanced with some delicious brass parts and rare used effects this is a real vintage style headnodder. Sample madness galore! (more…)

Die Ordung des Samples - hhv.de Katalog 03/2008
Author Julian Brimmers führte im Rahmen seines D-Funk – Special im hhv.de Katalog 03/2008 ein Interview mit Mr. Confuse am 06.10.2008.
Das Interview hat den Titel “Mr. Confuse – Die Ordnung des Samples” und wurde kurz nach der Veröffentlichung von Mr. Confuse’s album “Feel The Fire” geführt.
Im Folgenden beleuchten wir ein paar der spannenderen Künstler aus heimischen Gefilden, die die Grundlagen des Funk und Soul für ihre eigene Soundästhetik nutzbar machen, ohne ausschließlich ausgetrampelte Vintage-Pfade anzuvisieren: Die beiden MPM-Künstler Flomega und Suff Daddy, die durch ihren Facettenreichtum die progressive Philosophie ihrer Labelheimat nahezu perfekt verkörpern, das ehemalige Breakout-Mitglied Mr. Confuse, sowie die Wien/Augsburg-Kombination 7Samurai. Zusammen repräsentieren diese Künstler nur den kleinen Ausschnitt einer lebendigen Szene, die über Genre-Grenzen gerade mal müde lächelt und so herrlich unverkrampft dafür Sorge trägt, dass man selbst in der BRD für kurze Momente den notorischen Stock gegen eine gehörige Portion Funk im Arsch eintauschen darf. (Aus der D-Funk Einleitung von Julian Brimmers)
