Then, 1995, he released his first full LP “Underground Vibes“. The album is critically acclaimed worldwide. Cam’s music is so original. Perhaps the best description of DJ Cam’s innovative instrumental fusion on “Underground Vibes” would be “Abstract HIP HOP“. Cam also toured & still tours like crazy around the world: Japan, Europe, USA……. 1996: He is approached by Sony which signed Cam for 5 LPs. “Substances” is released worldwide. Once again Cam had rendez vous with success. The tracks on “Substances” were infused with a more melancholy feel than usual, featuring a variety of slick cool-jazz samples. Cam fused his smooth easy-listening jazz samples with the usual hip hop rhythms, but this time round the emphasis was definitely on mellow-music fans only have to take a listen to the soft , velvet vocals of the Indian singer Kakoli Sengupta on the track “Meera“ to get a feel of Dj Cam’s new style. The album sold over 300 000. Cam did some big opening acts for Massive Attack. Street Jazz Records became Inflamable Records. 1997: Cam released his “DJ Kicks“ on K7 records. 1998: Cam drops “ The Beat Assassinated” .
