Cam C:1’s journey began in Brisbane circa ‘96, developing a taste for happy hardcore, and then the amen break via a mixtape made by Melbourne legend Atom1.
After months of collecting and practice in the 1990’s, Cam organically met Kazu Kimura and Patrick HAF / The Sentinel (Southern Outpost), who’s influence of which would later help develop over 80% of Cam’s philosophy as a DJ. It was through their guidance, that Cam began to refine her craft, with Patrick soon becoming her mentor. Cam began extensively playing the Brisbane underground techno circuit as DJCam, eventually developing the Junglettes alongside; Kim (De La Haye), Alison (Gidgette) and Kristen (Specimen/Cypher).
