Three for the Cloudfuzz

Man, so busy on my 1st job right now – inbox is a mess.
Yet I got an urgent request from P-Funk drummer Gabe Gonzales (also he heads up the funk group Enemy Squad) (read my post on him here) to share a few old funk classics, so I uploaded them for him. Now I [...]

Rest in Power Clouds - Phelps Catfish Collins

I’ve been so busy on the 1st and 3rd jobs, I didn’t have time weigh in here on the 2nd job – Earfuzz – to let y’all know, though y’all know – that Phelps ‘Catfish’ Collins passed away (full wikipedia bio). Shucks, even Pitchfork noticed.
Whu? Pitchfork on the deep funk? Well that’s because Catfish is [...]

Cloud Grinding - Four the Funk

Ugh, hey @chuckdafonk here. Wanted to post something up for ya, but I’m stuck on my first job for Cisco, then my 3rd job ‘trying to settle things’ you know – and so my second job as Earfuzz guy is getting squeezed.
Still, even with my grinds – how could I deny you a few cloud [...]

#45Fridays

I got wind this past Friday that some your favorite DJ’s were posting up their favorite 45s on Twitter – taking photos of rare 45’s and posting the links. You can easily go to Twitter and search on the hash tag – #45Fridays. I’m already missing Earfuzz bossman Junior and his penchant for writing up [...]

Mid Week Grinding - More Cloudfuzz

Still so busy, too busy to write! So here are some jams in the interim!
Thanks to my Earfuzz colleague who posted up this hip hop video from Canadian rapper Shad, above. I’m feeling the vibe – is it an Al Green sample? I can’t tell. More on Shad right here.
Ok since you are grinding like [...]

Jul 112010

I wanted to get a post up on the soul-funk blues of Albert King. Instead I’m grinding on my corporate work, so not much time to write. Still the Hype Machine and Soundcloud and my friends are delivering some groovy jems, maybe again out of the purview of the Earfuzz steeze, but still want to [...]

We are already missing Earfuzz bossman Junior’s continual posts about rare funk, soul, jazz, hip-hop and more type gem-jams .. Make sure you read Junior’s last post here.
While we do at Earfuzz focus on the rare funk/soul/jazz/latin/hip-hop+more steeze – here are few newer type jams coming in from around the net. Since I myself would [...]

Souls of Mischief – Postal
Murs + 9th Wonder – Let Me Talk featuring Suga Free (via Passion of the Weiss.com)
For some of you who know me intimately, you know I’ve been going through things, and I’ve been tweeting / facebooking for Earfuzz, leaning on heavy Bobby Womack and assorted soul songs, plus some emo-electro-pop-funk.
Well a [...]
