Fake DJ Original Mix by Camoflaug3
musical mission. The two members who go simply by 001 and 002 are
electronic music veterans and have been there from the days of when it
was simply two (or three turntables), a mixer and a massive sound
system hauled into some “not so legal” space. Fake DJ is the result of this history colliding with a casual
conversation about the state of the DJ nation. 001 put his hands to
the keyboard and wrote the lyrics and conceptualized the track and 002
hit the studio to pull together the beats. The next ingredient was the
vocalist, which had to be a Poet Laureate of sorts, someone who also
understood the roots of the music and what was trying to be said.
“Robert English was born for this vocal and he nailed it in just two
takes, it was just perfect” says 002. The cherry on top was bringing
in the legendary DJ Sneak to do the remix. His mix brings out
something in the track that only he could, deep groovy bass lines and
some essence of his classic You Canʼt Hide from your Bud. As DJ culture accelerates into the mainstream it has virtually lost
all of its history with this new generation of fans, left it behind as
a new generation stands on the shoulders of giants, and become giants
themselves pushing the architects and creators into the shadows. The
musical mission statement is now very clear for Camoflaug3: respect
your roots and know your art.
