About

A skilled producer influenced by beat styles belonging to such god-like hip-hop figures as DJ Premier and Prince Paul, DJ Cam creates atmospheres to intensify your most chill moods. Widely unappreciated in his country of origin, this scene-sensitive Frenchman is celebrated in the Mo' Wax-watching sectors in America, the U.K. and Japan. Bearing an atmospheric hip-hop sound rounded out with plenty of well-chosen samples, refined breaks, vinyl scratches and engaging emcees, Cam is part of the circle made up of like-minded stylists as DJ Shadow, DJ Krush and La Funk Mob. Aspects of jazz and dub deepen his diverse head-bobbing style, serving to further mystify the hip-hop phenomenon.
