Camea

Biography

There is no doubt that CAMEA’s hypnotic tech house and techno sound has been gaining momentum as of late, and her following continues to grow as one of the underground’s most consistently respected talents. Starting her career as a warm-up DJ at Raves in Seattle in the late 90s, her journey has taken her from West Coast warehouses to Brooklyn’s clandestine techno scene, and finally to Berlin where she resides since 2007. She is most famously known for her role as label head to one of the minimal era’s most illustrious labels, Clink Recordings, which she put on hold in 2011 to focus on her increasingly demanding studio and touring career. She is also recognised for her radio show on East Village Radio alongside artist and friend, Ambivalent, that aired live on Friday nights from 2005-2007 to an international audience. CAMEA has had a steady stream of releases and remixes out on labels like M_nus, Plus 8, Get Physical, Upon.You, Noir and Soma, and she is a rising star on Bpitch Control, one of Berlin’s premier imprints that can be credited to the evolution of artists like Ellen Allien, Paul Kalkbrenner, Apparat and Modeselektor. She signed to BPC in 2011 and has composed avant-garde tech-house releases such as ‘City Watch Over Me’, also featured on Cocoon’s 2014 Summer Ibiza Mix, and her quintessential ‘Neverwhere’ release, a multi-media project including vinyl only remixes from influential producers Locked Groove and Deadbeat, as well as two video collaborations with Berlin Film Director, Riza-Rocco Avsar, that premiered on Mixmag. In 2015 she has slated a mix compilation on Get Physical for their Full Body Workout series featuring two original tracks, a new Bpitch Control single, the launch of her Neverwhere Radio show, and some studio collaborations. CAMEA’s interest in emotionally charged tech house and techno comes from her musician roots; she is a classically and jazz trained pianist, as well as fluent in several other instruments. Her hard work and dedication has earned her a rigorous international tour schedule, and she is frequently playing in her home city at clubs like Watergate, Tresor, Panorama Bar and many other underground events. Even though DJing has stayed the forefront of CAMEA’s passion, when she is not out performing she spends most of her time at her studio in Berlin, and has become one of the handful of women from America to make it to the International stage for her genre.
