Album Review: Can You Fuzz It by Fuzzball
Released in 2007 on Fiberline Audio, Can You Fuzz It by Fuzzball is a solid entry into the world of electronic music, blending Progressive House, Electro, and House with just enough flair to keep things interesting. Written by Jorge Dept and Nico Dream, this US-based project feels like a late-night drive through neon-lit city streets—equal parts nostalgic and futuristic.
The title track, “Can You Fuzz It?,” grabs your attention right away. It’s got that signature electro bounce paired with a hypnotic bassline that worms its way into your brain. What makes it stand out isn’t just the energy but how it builds without ever feeling overdone. The drops are punchy yet restrained, leaving room for those little sonic details that make you lean in closer. You know those moments when a track feels alive? This one does.
Another standout is “Neon Pulse” (or maybe I’m misremembering the name because who names these things anyway?). Either way, this tune hits differently. It layers shimmering synths over a steady beat, creating something both dreamy and grounded. There’s a point around the three-minute mark where everything seems to lift off—it’s not groundbreaking, but damn if it doesn’t give you goosebumps.
What sticks with me about Can You Fuzz It is how unpretentious it feels. It doesn’t try too hard to be deep or overly clever; instead, it focuses on delivering vibes. And honestly, sometimes that’s all you need. In a genre often bogged down by self-seriousness, Fuzzball keeps it refreshingly simple.
Looking back, this album reminds me of simpler times—when iPods still had click wheels and Spotify wasn’t even a thing yet. Funny how music can do that. If you’re into electronic sounds that don’t take themselves too seriously, this might be worth dusting off. Just don’t expect life-changing revelations—unless, ya know, fuzzy beats are your jam.
Oh, and here’s the kicker: listening to this now kinda makes me want to dig out my old glow sticks. Maybe there’s hope for 2007 after all.
