Camp Yo! is the solo project of Thomas Rademakers, a musician from Breda, The Netherlands. Thomas is also the singer of electropunk group MMMM! and he has been actively producing electronic music since 2006.
As 'The High Fidelity Twin', Thomas created sounds reminiscent of Múm mixed with Lo-Fi-Fnk, but finally it was the name Camp Yo! that stuck.
With the 80s, early 90s, campy teen sitcoms and Yo! MTV Raps in mind, the music of Camp Yo! is both an ode to nostalgia and a sweaty mix of Röyksopp and Memory Tapes. Synth-driven and dreamy, Camp Yo! likes to flirt with dub and deep house, but earlier material from Thomas has been found in iTunes libraries filed under chillwave, dream pop and indie dance.
The Wrong Pilot EP is the first release for Camp Yo! and highlights Thomas's unique sound and production. The title track, "The Wrong Pilot", draws on indie dance styles with hints of classic electronica. The New Low Remix introduces a rougher sound to the title track's dancing drive. "Pineappletrés" concludes the EP with a syncopated drum program and arrangement reminiscent of late-night, underground parties. With this debut EP, Camp Yo! adds another hot act to the ever-growing Rub A Duck imprint. "The Wrong Pilot" is definitely on the right track.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Rub A Duck is all about fresh and exciting new music about and around what is termed as bass music. Camp Yo is the latest signing and you can hear very easily why the top record label decided to bring to the worldwide audience his excellent Wrong Pilot EP. The original mix of Wrong Pilot draws influences from artists like Orbital and has old school feel with even some vinyl scratching effects to it. He uses distorted, chopped, squeezed vocal samples and creates a danceable rhythm. I can imagine it being played on nature documentaries and winter sports shows on TV. Pineappletrés is an equally involving piece of music that sounds cool, relaxing and very groovy as well. With old school melodies and basic instruments and sounds goes back to the roots of electronic dance music. The New Low remix of Wrong Pilot sounds tougher with break beats, heavier filthier basslines and nice twist in the breakdown when the chopped vocal appears and leads the track to its final more upfront climax. Its great music to listen, dream and enjoy. Love IT!
