thegoodvibez presents: DJ Cam


I decided to introduce a little something new called the goodvibez presents, basically I will put together a compilation of some of my favorite artists and the first one is DJ Cam.

Dj Cam born Laurent Daumail is a french DJ and his style is a hybrid of hip hop and jazz. Last time I counted he had something like 13 albums under his belt starting from 1994 with Underground Vibes. Now how did i discover DJ Cam ? As you may or may not know, while in college, I had the coolest job, I was working in a music store, it was small and we mostly sold commercial stuff but it's still up to date one of my favorite jobs. Anyhow at a certain point, huge mega-stores started opening and needless to say it took a few months to shut us down. Even if I hated the huge mega stores I walked in and well I was amazed of the choice they had, imports, rare albums and their hip hop section had way more choices then i was accustomed to, on top of that you could ask to listen to an album which was amazing.

So there I was in that mega-store and by pure fluke I found DJ cam's the beat condoctor in the acid jazz section, I couldn't believe it they even had an acid jazz section. so here i am in line with a pile of cd's to listen to and as soon it started, '' Cuz I love hip hop like Madonna loves dick'' and I was hooked. Now within these 13 albums some are a little darker and more on the edge of trip hop like the loa project vol. 2. Then you have his later music like soulshine that you can tell by the title is more soul oriented but lately i rediscovered him with DJ Cam's Quartet ( Diggin' and Rebirth of cool) both of these albums are insane for any music lover. I can resume the last 2 albums jazz quartet with dj and a whole lotta groove and that how I rediscovered Dj Cam. Of course when an artist has sucha vaste repertoire it's not easy to choose 15 songs, so I choose my favorites but also i wanted to display his taste for different moods and ambiances.

My first post of the new decade and here is another goodvibez mix that I'm sharing with you guys, after my indie phase (podcast 19 & 21) here is a nice chilled out electronica mix. I also added a little mp3 player to my blog, the songs are taken from the latest podcast you can use it to preview the songs before downloading. My favorite tracks we hard to choose as always but here we go and they are not in any particular order. The High Road by Broken Bells which consists of DJ Danger Mouse and James Mercer. I've been a fan of Danger Mouse since the days of the Grey Album and he never stopped to surprise me, he worked with Ceee-Lo (Gnarles Barkley) MF Doom to name a few and now he choose a new direction Broken Bell's sound is folky the album should come out later this year. Next is Stylo (Ft. Mos Def & Bobby Womack) by Gorillaz is one of my favorite groups and the characters are well crafted, I've been waiting for the album for a while now and word around the web is that it should come out later on this year as well. I was never able to label Gorillaz because the jump from one style to another but the music is always solid. Juicy Grub (feat Yousif) by Pat D & Lady Paradox is a hip hop group from the UK, it's some straight jazz-hop think british Digable Planets, I love how the Brits take hip hop and add their own twist. The rest of the songs are as great but I have a soft spot for these choices.

I noticed more followers on the blog, thanks a lot it's much appreciated please, comments and feedback are always welcomed. My next post will be thegoodvibez present, basically I will take an artist and compile some songs from all their albums and the first one will be DJ Cam and it will be posted real soon on this note I hope you will enjoy this mix that I've cooked for all y'all and keep in mind I do this blog because i just love sharing that great music with you.

Well this is my last post for 2009, I just blasted my blog today with 3 posts and my 2009 in music is ready to be downloaded. It was a very interesting year musically, the indie movement is at an all time high and I also notice that the electro sound is becoming very commercial however good music will always be good music no matter what trend is going on.

Let's jump to my favorite tracks since this is a favorite of 09 I'll pick 5 instead of my usual 3. The opening track The Music Scene by Blockhead is a nice instrumental groove on the jazz tip, I was happy when I found out the Blockhead had a new album out being a fan and all even though it's not his strongest release it's still a solid effort. Then I'll go with Quicksand (Boy 8-Bit Remix) by La Roux and this track's been playing in clubs for a while I cannot deny how effective this track is, it's catchy, dancy but most of all damn good. Now Fading In & Out (Kid Cudi x DJ Class Mash-Up) by The Kickdrums is the perfect example that hip hop still has a few words to say and these words are not about rims, guns and pimpslappin'. Humdrum Town by Theophilus London was my discovery of the year is just straight up fresh and new, mixing electro and hip hop and give it an indie feel and you got a kick ass concept, I just love that song. Sweet Sixteen by Think About Life, this Montreal based band is outstanding I cannot really describe the music it's an amalgamation of so many musical styles (Indie Rock mixed with Electro and Hip Hop) one thing I can say for sure is this track is amazing and I can't wait to hear more from them. Well I said 5 but my favorite album of 2009 is with no doubt Phoenix's Wolfgang Amadeus it's dancy, retro rock the melodies are sweet, the lyrics poetic it's just a gem of an album. as I was writing this post I realised the Lust for Life by Girls needs a shout as well and last but not least (I promise) I Karen O & The Kids with All Is Love from the Where The Wild Things Are Soundtrack (my 2nd favorite album of 2009).
