Dear music lovers
As of January 1, 2026, this blog will be temporarily inactive. Due to my busy schedule, such as my day job as a fire extinguisher maintenance expert and maintaining three online stores Mirusia.nl, Grooverecords.nl, and Specialcdshop.nl it's simply not feasible to keep HTFB up to date with new releases.
For now, "temporarily" means I might restart HTFB in the future. In July 2026, I'll be working less, and then I'll probably have more time to pick up HTFB again.
I also want to let you know that I've chosen STACK to offer my music. This allows you to download easily and without annoying ads. However, there are costs involved, which isn't a problem, because remastering music is my hobby, and I enjoy sharing it with others.
If you'd like to become a member in the future, when this blog is active again, please send an email with your name and email address. I'll put you on the list. If there's enough interest from music lovers, we might be able to resume.
Wishing you all a wonderful and healthy 2026,
Funkerman's Hard To Find Beats!

My dear Funkerman...Why don't you come and join our community at the private DISCO CONNECTION Blog ??? We are a community of Disco, Soul and Funk lovers. It would take the heat out of having to maintain a blog and you can still share and download from other Music Lovers. If you wish to do so Contact me at colourzoneedits@gmail.com I will inform the blog members of your arrival. Cheers and happy holidays !
