Catalog #:
KARAT 036EP
"Once again a great release on Karat. This time Philippe Cam is coming strong with massive tunes. We know this guy for his first releases on Traum records a few years ago; he reached at this time the point where electronic music can be groovy without a bass drum. Last year he released an EP on Musique Risquée, a bit more functional; now he joins Karat and delivers a great EP with an astonishing quality of production. The first track is a house tune, quite stompin', with a nice guitar riff and great atmospheric effects. The track goes crazy when it comes to the half, introducing wild synth notes. Some real vibe! The second track is a beatless tune in a particular Cam's way, something laid-back but still intense, a real melodic thing, between dub, electronica and house! Then it goes with 'Bass Star,' a real strong techno burner, which can be compared to Brinkmann's 'Tanks A Lot' stuff, even harder and more fine; the sounds combine perfectly, the structure is great. Techno music at its best!"

TRAUM 003CD
"Philipe Cam is a star in his own field. He is among the few people that have succeeded to write hypnotic dance music without a conventional beat still conveying a thrilling, dramatic feel. Cam has developed an accurate, intense and complex formula of modulation-techno. Starting with music similar to Pan Sonic in 1996, his music turned towards a more elegant form of minimal music. He worked as a DJ in Brussels beginning of the 90s. Then chose to become a sailor and cruised the oceans. Mid of the 90ies he started to study electronic music in Brussels and began to write music for theatre, ballet and French movies. Abstract soundtracks lead to an organic form of music, which was equally influenced by modern techno as Wolfgang Voigt's Studio 1/Gas or Basic Channel/Maurizio. His demo received by the Cologne based label Traum in 1999 led to a series of three fantastic 12"s. Since then journalists have made links also to Manuel Göttsching's classical masterpiece

referring to his low evolving modular wave scapes and strong repetitiveness. Cam's latest compilation CD
Balance
on Traum is a fine selection of tracks previously released as Traum 12" s. This CD contains tracks in full length, plus a video of 'Mixte' by Cologne artist Yvette Klein, who thickly textured the music with a minimal aesthetic. Cam's music corresponds heavily to the Cologne scene, where his music is appreciated and played throughout the clubs by the likes of Michael Mayer, Tobias Thomas and various other DJs as well as experimental djs from the A-musik corner."
