小简介

说到Dj cam,也许一定有人会记得在记者采访他的时候，他不愿被冠上Trip-Hop的称号，而称其风格为“Abstract Hip-Hop”，又有一些乐评称呼为他的作品类别为instrumental Hip Hop，按字面解释的话，Abstract Hip-Hop意思是抽象概念化的Hip Hop，而instrumental Hip Hop则是器具化的，以Hip Hop为手段的一个音乐，简而言之这种音乐已经不再是简单的只有rap的hip hop，而是结合了downtempo ，acid jazz, funk, soul，ambient等多种音乐形式的变异后的hip hop。而且为了和Trip Hop相区别特意抽去了女声，强调以音乐性本身为主，女声只做为一种采样。

Parisian hip-hop devotee Laurent Daumail is one of a few but growing number of French artists updating hip-hop for the chill-out crowd, drawing on the beatsnsamples groundwork of producers such as Rakim, DJ Premier, and Prince Paul and combining it with broad, impressionistic strokes of dub, jazz, and soundtrack-y ambience. Like countrymen the Mighty Bop and la Funk Mob, Cam is stylistically closest to MoWax artists such as DJ Shadow and DJ Krush; minimalist, downbeat instrumental hip-hop built from obscure samples and stomp-box turntable accompaniment, bent and twisted into new, artfully arranged compositions. His debut, 1994s Underground Vibes, was released on the tiny French label Street Jazz and was followed by a live recording for the Inflammable imprint (one of only a few live recordings in a genre so reliant on the temporal concessions of the recording studio). Dubbed Underground Live, the album featured performed extrapolations of many of the tracks from his debut, as well as a few new and improvised tracks. Now nearly impossible to find, those first two albums were reissued in America by Shadow Records, packaged together as the single-CD priced Mad Blunted Jazz (particularly useful since acquiring both on import could run more than 50 dollars!).

Although Cams music has found little acceptance in his home country, where racial tension has stratified the hip-hop community into rigid definitions of what the music is — and who should be making it (Cam himself is white) — audiences in the U.K., Japan, and America have begun picking up on his style. In 1996 Cam was featured on, among many others, the sprawling MoWax compilation Headz 2, remixed tracks for such artists as Tek 9 and la Funk Mob, and most recently collaborated on live and in-studio projects with Snooze and DJ Krush (he co-wrote a few tracks on the latters 1997 MoWax release, Mi Sound). Cam released Substances on Inflammable in 1997. The next year, his major-label debut, The Beat Assassinated, appeared on Columbia Records. In 2000, he released a three-volume series named The Loa Project. Cam dropped HoneyMoon, a smooth mix album that combined jazz and underground hip hop, at the close of 2001.
