| 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 beats'n'samples 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 Mo'Wax 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, 1994's 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 Cam's 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 Mo'Wax compilation |
| Headz, 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, ). 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, Vol. 1. Cam dropped HoneyMoon, a |
| smooth mix album that combined jazz and underground hip hop, at |
| the close of 2001 |
