DJ Cam is Laurent Daumail, born in Paris in 1973, one of the founding figures of French trip-hop and instrumental hip-hop. Hip-hop at the root, mixed with jazz, dub and ambient. 'Innervisions' comes from Substances (1996), the album after his Underground Vibes debut, out on his own Inflamable label with Columbia. Wikipedia notes Underground Vibes is often cited as one of the first complete instrumental hip-hop albums. FACT later ranked his 1996 Abstract Manifesto number 9 among the 50 best trip-hop albums of all time, saying he positioned himself as the European equivalent to DJ Krush and DJ Shadow. The single 'Wake Up' came out in July 2026.
