Music is nothing if it can't help you bring your dreams to life, and DJ Cam has just made
one of his biggest dreams come true - composing a soundtrack to Miami Vice.
Although strictly unofficial and a pure product of his cinematic mind, this OST is intrinsically
linked to the legendary series: as a feature -length album, a collection of cinematic
sequences, his Miami Vice strongly evokes Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs and their
investigations set in the sordid underworld of Florida's jets et.
The beatmaker has sequenced his tracks like scenes from a script, alternating the dark
atmosphere of trap music with more jazzy vibes (“Love Theme”, “Tubbs Theme”). Electronic
tracks are also very much present, as they were on his previous album Seven. “The Chase”
evokes a breathless action scene, while the footwork beats of “Move That Dope” and
“Welcome to Little Haiti” reflect the intense nocturnal energy of the city.
Special guest star MC Eiht (who played A- Wax in the Hughes brothers' cult movie Menace
II Society) raps on “Music To Drive By” and “Street Life”. “Throughout his long career,
everything he has recorded has a real cinematic feel to it. MC Eiht was the perfect MC for
this type of track,” says Cam. He also couldn't miss paying homage to what is practically the
Miami theme song: “In The Air Tonight” by Phil Collins. Here, he respectfully revisits it in a
deep, cerebral fashion.
Cam's Miami Vice is fourteen visual tracks, an imaginary score that positions itself as the
'official' soundtrack just as Ho llywood is preparing to film a reboot, following the first movie
adaptation in 2005 by the series' original producer - and now cult director - Michael Mann.
Miami Vice definitely puts the 'camera' back in Cam, making him the first -person view for
our cinematic cortex.
