:: REVIEW ::

Mad Blunted Jazz is DJ Cam’s first US release, a 2-cd set consisting of his import album Underground Vibes and a live album, and it stands among the best downtempo ever. The beats are solid, hip-hop all the way, and the melodies are wonderfully dreamy with jazzy chords liberally applied. Even on harshly named tracks like “Suckers Never Play That,” there’s a delicacy and thoughtfulness to these tracks. “Sang-Lien” veers towards the darker side of the street; “Underground Vibes” stays there and languishes in the beautiful, murky gloom (the vocal sample is wonderfully apt). “Dieu Reconnaitra Les Siens” brings things back to a more upbeat feel, featuring a sample from Deee-Lite. On the live disc, obviously the production value isn’t as high as on the regular disc, but the tracks flow into one another, creating a smoky, “live club” atmosphere. But there are some surprises: the sitar hip-hop of “Gangsta Shit” and “London 1995,” which is essentially a drum ‘n’ bass remix of “Underground Vibes.”
This is an essential release.
