The Profile

Demon Fuzz was a British afro-rock/jazz-rock group formed in London in the late 1960s, best known for the 1970 album Afreaka!, a fusion of funk, jazz, and psychedelic rock.

British afro-rock/jazz-rock group active in the late 1960s–early 1970s; known for Afreaka! (1970) and tracks including I Put A Spell On You, Message To Mankind, and Fuzz Oriental Blues.

One review dives into Demon Fuzz’s 1970 album Afreaka!, placing it in London’s cross-cultural ferment and praising its free-form fusion of rock, funk, Latin, and jazz. The piece highlights prominent winds (flute, trombone, sax) and Smokey Adams’s R&B-tinged vocals. It notes Esoteric Recordings’ reissue with three bonus tracks, including a cover of I Put A Spell On You.

Notable Quotes

❝ It's "Afreaka!" that the Demon Fuzz tell us about, from the basements of a London at the center of a cultural and globalized revolution, where the arts absorb the sounds and colors of the peripheral cultures of a dissolved British colonial empire.
