DJ Cam - Soulshine (Abstract/Trip-Hop, 2003): “

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, DJ 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.
This album features China, Inlove, Guru from Gangstarr, Donnie , Anggun, and the funk legend Cameo. Differing radically from his former work , ‘ Soulshine’ only contained unplugged tracks , and as little sampling as possible. The track ‘Summer In Paris‘ featuring Anggun is a worldwide hit while ‘Love Junkee’ featuring Cameo is remixed by the great J Dilla.
