Various BPC Camping Compilation 03
Published Apr 18, 2007
Third in the Camping series, BPitch Control label owner Ellen Allien compiled this great list of exclusive and remixed tracks that etch out a blueprint for whats to come from the label in 2007. Introducing the album is label guest Jahcoozi, with British/Sri-Lankan vocalist Sasha Perera, who has a similar verbal affront as M.I.A., freestyling over a more tech-ed out Baltimore beat. TimTims "You Sexy Beast vocally sounds like an orgy gone right with Prince and the Junior Boys: utterly sensual but somehow removed. Paul Kalkbrenner and Zander VT offer a more unforgiving techno beat, while Ellen Allien & Apparat and Fairmont provide more wandering, contemplative spaces. Feadz treads into heavier territory with a slower BPM, heavy acid sounds and a harder techno beat. "Weed wid da Macka, produced and remixed by Modeselektor, is straight up ragga-tech and is nothing short of brilliant. Camping offers a wide variety of cutting-edge electronic music styles that you would not normally hear side by side, and is an achievement for the Berlin-based label.
