  Biography - DJ Cam
The future DJ Cam's first contact with the world of music was not headphones and turntables but the piano, which he began learning at the tender age of 8.
DJ Cam's avant-garde vibes went on to prove a veritable hit on the Japanese dance scene and the French DJ was soon greatly in demand in the studio.
DJ Cam is renowned for his exploration of different musical sources and in 2001 he paid homage to the late great jazz masters, reworking the Miles Davis classic "In a Silent Way" on "Panthalassa", a tribute album masterminded by Bill Laswell.

 Six Degrees Records - DJ Cam
DJ Cam is a well-bred young Frenchman, who knows his Mozart and his classic jazz.
DJ Cam runs the gamut from pure, New York-style hip hop, on "Mental Invasion," to a sort of reggae-meets-drum'n'bass sound on "Ganja Man." "Candyman," with its vaguely threatening vocal samples, is an eery, atmospheric work that could be the soundtrack to an imaginary horror film.
Born Laurent Daumail, in Paris, DJ Cam has been a catalyst for the burgeoning club and electronica scene on the continent.

DJ Cam has carved out his own special niche on the French music scene over the years, starting out as one of the leading pioneers of instrumental hip-hop.
Cam modestly shrugs off his status as groundbreaker, however, claiming the only reason he got involved in the genre in the early 90s was through lack of contacts.
Acknowledged as one of the founding fathers of the 'abstract hip-hop' movement, alongside DJ Shadow and DJ Krush, DJ Cam has never allowed himself to be pigeonholed within any one style.

 Metroactive Music | DJ Cam
Perhaps it's unfair to view the Parisian DJ Cam through the lens of his nationality--one imagines that he must get tired of being compared to artists like Daft Punk and Cassius, with whom he has little in common besides his country.
Cam is unconstrained by the authenticity issues swirling around American hip-hop and thus circumvents all of the genre's prefabricated poses.
DJ Cam's music evokes gloomy cityscapes, but he's as fascinated by fleeting moments of beauty as he is by decay.

In 1996 Cam was featured on, among many others, the sprawling Mo'Wax 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 latter's 1997 Mo'Wax release, Mi Sound).

DJ Cam) is part of a short (but growing) list of French artists updating hip-hop for the chill-out crowd, garnering inspiration from the beats and samples of producers like DJ Premier, Prince Paul and Rakim and layering it with sprinkles of dub, jazz, and soundtrack-y type ambience.
Cam confesses that he listened to Quincy's entire output from start to finish before starting work on Soulshine.
For Cam, the making Soulshine, was a joyous occasion highlighted by his time spent working together with American Engineer Eddie Sancho (Jay Z, Nas, Common) and mastering legend Tom Coyne (De La Soul, Digable Planets) who according to the artist, brought brilliance and color to the album." Furthermore, "I fought for the groove here.

 DJ Cam: Liquid Hip-hop - PopMatters Music Review
Cam's MPC 3000 is an essential key to Liquid Hip-hop, and its mention inside the record should not detract from Cam's obvious ability to manipulate this partymakin' machine.
When DJ Cam began recording for his own label, Inflamable Records, in 1995, he attracted the French and international beat-seeking masses in search of an intelligent jazz and hip-hop hybrid that would eventually become synonymous with his name.
His name was whispered in the same breath as Shadow or Krush in worldwide record shops because Cam had proven that although trip hop seemed to be his specialty, his forte was deep, intricate instrumental DJ records that he layered with electro beats, jungle, or jazz.

 DJ CAM / SUBSTANCES
A former Parisian graffiti artist, Laurent Daumail (aka DJ Cam) has released several undeniably hip-hop records that radically rewrite the rules of the genre.
An avowed enemy of the synthesizer, DJ Cam crafts his complex music with the barest of tools: a couple turntables, a sampler, and a mixer.
Like all musical innovators, DJ Cam's strikingly individual brand of music fails to fit inside any rigid definitions, and he just might have to wait for the unknowing millions to catch on.

 DJ CAM | Soulshine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
As a tribute to numerous forms and styles of African American music, DJ Cam teases the line between the various forms and styles of this music, revealing that line to be extremely thin and gray.
With Soulshine, DJ Cam presents fifteen selections of varied length that, besides serving as a freestyler's paradise, showcases the broad diversity of his influences and articulation of music.
With track fourteen, “Voodoo Child,” DJ Cam shows he is just as comfortable in hip hop as in the other represented—and often integrated—genres.

 DJ Cam - Underground Vibe - RUTHLESS
St Germain and DJ Cam are by several million miles.
Like St Germain, Cam has his roots very much set in the jazz world but his speciality is in jazzy hip-hop, or dub hop or whatever you want to call it.
There are cool drum breaks and cool dub bass lines all over this CD but as I'm not an avid fan of hip hop I can't really tell you which ones are sampled and which ones aren't, all I can say is that I recognise some of them but not others.

 DJ Cam: The Beat Assassinated: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Aside from the Parisian dance- floor groove of "Pressure," DJ Cam serves up atmospheric, dreamy hip- hop that draws from dusty jazz and grainy filmscores.
It's a bit refreshing to hear a DJ whose sounds are veiled in a cloud of smoke, as nothing here is overpowering.
So, both DJ Cam and his record, The Beat Assassinated, prove themselves somewhat disposable, not unlike the majority of other DJs struggling to gain credibility in the electronic scene.

One of France's finest electronic exports, DJ Cam, comes through with his first mix CD since 1997's DJ Kicks.

Put all of these elements together, throw in some expert scratching and turntablism from Cam, and you'd only be missing one element to have a classic mix CD -- the actual mixing.

 The History of Rock Music. DJ Cam: biography, discography, reviews, links   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The French dj Cam (Laurent Daumail) has distanced himself from the European hip-hop milieu by focusing on instrumental music that incorporates elements and samples of dub and jazz (especially snippets of obscure jazz records).
Underground Vibes (Street Jazz, 1995) and 9 Underground Live (Inflammable, 1996), later packaged together as Mad Blunted Jazz (Shadow), and especially Substances (Inflammable, 1996) are the albums that established his credentials as a creative mixer, arranger and, ultimately, composer.
The mix DJ-Kicks (K7, 1997) opened the doors of big business and his first major release, The Beat Assassinated (Columbia, 1998), was fundamentally a tribute to his New York idols (Cam conducting an army of guest MCs).

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!).
