Underground Vibes (30th Anniversary) - LP

Limited edition - 180 g vinyl - Thick sleeve - Audiophile edition. Underground Vibes is the debut studio album by French producer and DJ DJ Cam, released in 1995 on his own label, Street Jazz Records. This pioneering project marks an important milestone in the emergence of French trip-hop, a musical movement born from the fusion of hip-hop, jazz, electronic music, and cinematic atmospheres. Far from the commercial trends of the time, DJ Cam offers instrumental, introspective, and atmospheric music, infused with a deep love for jazz and 1990s hip-hop culture. Through carefully selected samples, soft beats, and floating soundscapes, the artist creates an immersive sonic universe, halfway between New York and Paris, between boom bap and downtempo. The album stands out with tracks such as "Mad Blunted Jazz," which has become iconic, and "Dieu Reconnaîtra Les Siens," illustrating the subtle blend of spirituality, groove, and minimalism. DJ Cam demonstrates a rare ability to manipulate silence, slow rhythm, and sonic textures, making this work a major milestone in French trip-hop.
