Mr. Confuse is a producer & DJ from Hannover/Germany. He is a record collector since 1993, started DJing in 1999 and is producing music since 2004.

In early 2005 he founded the producer team Breakout and came up with the idea of reworking the 80s classic “Planet Rock” by Afrika Bambaataa by transforming it into a heavy funk tune. Released on 7" and shortly after on 12" including a jazzy version of “Planet Rock” it sold more than 5000 copies world wide on vinyl only!

In early 2007 the Breakout project split shortly before their final release The Funky Goofball/Lyve Wire 7" in summer 2007.

2007 remained a busy year. Mr. Confuse released his productions on various compilations (Brazilectro, Interntional Battle Of The Year Soundtrack and many more). He also recorded three MixCDs (Catch The Beat, Confunktion and Brazilian Cuts) with different musical focuses.

In September 2008 his first full length solo album 'Feel The Fire' was released on DLP, CD and digital on Légère Recordings. The album includes 14 songs. Two of songs are cover versions of Debbie Deb’s Freestyle-Electro-Classics 'Lookout Weekend' and 'When I Hear Music' in a heavy seventies Funk style. 'Lookout Weekend' also was released as 12" Vinyl including a remix by Lack Of Afro and a remix of the album song Groovin’ On The Spot by Mash & Munkee.

In 2009 two 12 inches followed the album. First the 'Do It Right Now' EP including remixes by Smoove, AIFF and Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra. Second the 'Imóvel' EP including remixes by Rephrase, Ed Royal, Thomas Blondet, Una Mas Trio and Alan De Lanaire.

Also in 2009 Mr. Confuse laid down the first release on the uprising 7" label Freesoul45 Records with two massive HipHop instrumental tunes. Mr. Confuse’s LIVE-Project 'Mr. Confuse & The Confusers' was called to existence with a heavy horn section of seven players and true Hammond B3 sound! The Band has 14 Players and recorded a Live-Album during the album release concert in September 2008 which was released as promo CD including audio and the live video of 'Lookout Weekend' (Watch it on YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/MisterConfuse).

2009 continues with Mr. Confuse 'Feel The Fire - The Remixes' which is available digital and includes all remixes of the three 12" Vinyls plus additional never released before Versions. Including remixes by Smoove, Lack of Afro, AIFF, Rephrase, Ed Royal, Thomas Blondet, Una Mas Trio, Mash & Munkee, The Uptown Felaz, Daytoner, JetTricks, Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra and Alan De Lanaire.

2010 he released various tunes on Goodgroove Records, Shiftin' Gears Records and compilations.
