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, 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 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). 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.

Yes, for Anggun to perform at opening ceremony Olympic France 2024 !!!
The Famous Paris Jazzy Groovy Anthem by DJ Cam featuring Anggun 2002
Paris for me is the the only place where hearing constant broken plates day till evening not a problem but like music along with the man's voice because it's Greek's traditional greeting by smashing plates whenever guests arrive, there was Greek restaurant few meters under my apartment downtown Paris not far from Champs Elysées back then in 2004
(Anggun is half-blood Javanese Royal from her mother's side, and Artisan blood from her father's side)
That I was born in Banten/Bantam + West Java + Jakarta, of parents born Minangkabau Sumatra, and lived all alone since birth before outside Indonesia in Bandung, Madiun, Banyuwangi, etc were not coincidence.
Silih Wangi (Siliwangi) means Inherited Fragrant.
Old Indonesia before just 78 years present Republic.
Yes, Anggun is my relative, she's half-blood princess from her mother's side, while I'm from both parents.
Anggun has chosen France, I was The Netherlands.
Living Legend, Indonesia + France, low profile but real international achievements.
Just as her name Anggun (Âng Gün) means Elegant, Grace, Charming, Adorable, etc.
1996 Anggun - La Neige Au Sahara / 1997 Anggun - Snow On The Sahara
Then later responded by Madonna - Frozen 1999
BBC & Sir David Attenborough "Earth", Danish "Open Hearts", and so many other soundtracks and collaborations around the world, truly world class
Anggun
The one and only original "Snow on the Sahara" Indonesia-France-Canada-USA-UK-Japan
introduced in music industry in early 1980's by Aquarius Musikindo (Indonesia), earlier days license holder of Sony, Warner, etc in many parts around Asia then in mid 1990's by Erick Benzi (Celine Dion) in France/Canada, etc.
Anggun is 1 of Top 10 French Artisans.
Since 2004 Official Ambassadrice for United Nations, Audemars Piguet, Pantene, Roberto Cavalli, etc.
Performing annually at Vatican Christmas Concert as the only non-christian since 2000
