Cameron Paul is a Legend from the Westcoast San Francisco of producing and remixing of classical & danceble Clubbing&Disco Sounds.My deepest respect what He did at the musical past.R.I.P.🎼⚰️💐
This is legit the best DJ tutorial on TH-cam. I watched the whole thing on an airplane and I’m totally blown away. The only thing he didn’t touch on was song phrasing but everything else was covered so well. My gosh, he put down so much game in this single video, I’m gobsmacked. Rest In Peace to the homie, for real. Legend.
It’s safe to say that anyone who uses this as a training video will be light years ahead of those who don’t. There is knowledge here that is so important that it’s easy to miss. Most people I know in SF Bay Area had the tape and watched countless times as they learned to DJ. He figured it out without tutorials or TH-cam. He had to adapt musical instruments for DJ use. The Emax he’s using was originally for sampling sounds and intended as a keyboard. He figured out to use it to play words and sound effects in key.
I think this is just part of his whole video. So maybe the phrasing may be covered on the other part? Also, this is like about 35 years old and back then this was way advance. You got to recognize the past and what was going on. Like Calvin Klein was a great men’s designer, but now you tell ppl. and they’re like WHAT?! Not sure what the word is, but you had to be there to fully understand. Cameron had few competitors and the ones that came up, they followed CP.
@@jacknjill3000he only had one video. This is the complete video. He was trying to do a part 2. But never got to it since that was around the time he left KMEL and was blacklisted. I recall Ray Lum sharing that he and Rex Santa Elena filmed this video.
I remember Cameron Paul well. I graduated from High School in 1988. Cameron Paul was the shit back then. Late Great '88 Power Mix got everyone excited. Was one of his most popular mixes ever. He's still a god in my eyes. You can tell he is not just a DJ, he is an artist. He has some good musical taste.
There's a few DJ's that should be in the hip hop/ Rock n Roll hall of Fame.. Cameron Paul is definitely one that should. He is a True Legend. Hat's off to you Brother.
He originated that mix pattern and has done it countless times in the club and in his mixes and in a Mixx It as well. I thought it was all production work until I saw this video back in 1989 when I bought it. I was amazed. Not only was he on beat and measure but the volume level was smooth too. Examples like his mixing here is what I imagine he can do against current mixing technology.
Another part of DJ’ing that gets overlooked oftentimes is simply having good tastes & knowing what sounds good together. You can hear immediately this guy excels in both departments
This my first time seeing this guy.As a kid in the 80's I heard of his sme as a Dj on KSOL.And he mixed R&B and Electro hip-hop breakdancing music for us young Breakdancers and wanna be DJ's.We love the excitement when mixed the songs that just came out and unexpectedly mixed those songs with the one we liked.He is the man for Djiing in the 80's and 90's.He inspired me to become a dj and I've done it for years and loved it.He be missed.He died.
I turned 21 in 1987...was able to go to the clubs and watch him spin/ mix records while enjoying a cocktail ! Awesome times ! Cameron Paul even signed an autograph for me one night. I still got it . Cameron was s legend, way ahead of his time . Every DJ can take something away from this man. Rip Cameron.
@@maxwheeler3241 Remember DJ Tony Valera too ?? Michael Erickson mixed for KSOL and KMEL , like Cameron Paul too . Back when radio and DJs were exciting!
Glad he made this video - so cool to be able to see Cameron sharing his craft in 2020. Respect this DJ and entrepreneur of that era. The Reel to Reel tape deck sounds PHAT.
This man was really talented. I was born in 86 so I never really grew up hearing his name that often on the airwaves coming up. I remember the MC's Chewy Gomez, Trace & Franzen from CMC though. I was curious to see how deejays did it back in the 80's especially in the Bay Area. That's when I came across this video. This man took his game to another level creating his own sample records and remixes to use during his live sets. I started deejaying a little bit in the 2000's before Pioneer CD DJ's and before Serrato, so I know how its like to haul crates of vinyl. The game was already very blessed then because many record shops were already carrying break beats of brand new hits like the Lethal Weapon remixes. Now, these new gens just plug in their phone into serrato and they got all of the new joints and remixes on there! I guess my point is that people like Cameron Paul paved the way for radio, party, and club deejays. Back then, I guess you just had to make your own break beat record, or just do it on the fly during a set. I never saw someone literally splicing a reel to reel, but what a long way we have come where now we use software like Adobe Audition to do the splitting, mixing, and multi track recording.
Man, I don't even know what to say. One of the greatest part of my childhood was listening to his mixes on KMEL. Trying all these different tricks to get the station clear because I lived so far away. Just imagining how this guy was djing, since I was too young to actually see him at the clubs. Prayers
If you were in the Bay Area 5:15 pm and 8:15 pm you'd hear "Cameron; Cameron, Cameron Paullllll, in, the mix. 106 K-M-E-L introducing his mix session. He was so skilled and humble. from time-to-time you would see his Corvette with the "Mixx It" vanity plate parked outside of Matthews Top of The Hill Daly City!
Wow! I played so many of this guys mixes back in the day. One of the best IMO!Don't mess with my mind was one of My favorites, still looking for that .
It was great going dancing with my friends in the 1980's when he was dj at the Bank Exchange (aka Park Exchange) nightclub in the Transamerica pyramid in San Francisco. The clubs where he was dj were always so packed no matter what day of the week it was. He was the best.
A pioneer and an overall good guy! He will be missed. I'm very fortunate to have grown up in his time. Supporter and loyal fan always and forever... Dj Power PAC
I have this vhs tape, nice to know someone took the time to digitize it and uploaded for future DJs to see. Be sure to check out my copy of one of his live performance on kmel.
@@nonyabiz62 Thanks for the link, Miggy! Bookmarked and will be listening to the mix soon. I lived in Sac in 89-91 and loved listening to CP's shows on KMEL, even though I could barely pull the station in. Static aside, it was still awesome hearing his shows. And Mitch Craig sounds awesome doing the voice overs. Sure do miss those golden days of radio.
TSlice grew up on this shhh! Best & baddest music in the world! 🌎 Cameron brought a style which was time capsuled. Many recorded cassettes of his shows recorded off the radio! 📻 '86-'88 He was a humble genius. 🎶 Rest in peace CamMan
I remember when this was available on VHS, and it may be vintage ancient, but you know what? from a dj who's been mixing since my first record of Reggie Griffin-Mirda Rock (sick robot voice track) I can easily say, the principles mentioned in this video exactly still apply, the pitch control, intros, breaks even outros, and if the track ends cold or warm. Any Dj who wants to do real raw mixing, it will take time, but soon, you figure it out, develope your style, be a unique dj and have a following. Vinyl record, headphones, pitch and hand to wax, old school baby, then theres flipping the record upside down with a roll of duct tape on the platter and flipping the needle upside down playing underneath. ask me what that means, youll love what happens, cheers.
I’m well aware of flipping the platter and adjusting the arm ballast to float upwards... You also start the needle from the center so that it tracks outward from the center... Talk about “devil msgs” /backward masking...this is the method...
When they played "The Late Great '88 Power Mix" on KMEL, you just got pumped up for the weekend! "Throwin' down another Cameron Paul 45 minute non-stop power mix, power mix, on 106.1 KMEL FM, San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose."
Hell, KMEL... I grew up in Fremont, CA and would listen to KMEL all the time. They also did a Festival and Shoreline Ampitheater in Mountain View CA, Too Short was there one year and caused the concert to be cut short.
Aqui no Brasil, nós djs tocávamos todas suas produções.. será que ele sabia, que no Brasil. Todos os bailes funk na década de 80 e 90. Suas músicas tocava,
42:23 "And this piece of tape of very important. You want to be very careful with this piece tape." (throws it) hahaha I always loved that part of this video. CP had a great sense of humor.
I wish there is a track list on every record he used in this video. i wouldn't mind taking my time and repeat all the mixes he showed... RIP Cameron Paul
That’s crazy how he’s just rocking that one record and dropping other joints, and bringing it back, so I guess this is an example of what we now know as a “mastermix”?
CRUISING TO HIS BEATS DOWN EL CAMINO TO REDWOOD CITY AD ON TO 101 TO SAN JO AND STUDIO 47. HIT STORY AND KING STILL THUMPIN WITH CAMERON AS A TEENAGER ON A DROPPED 82 CAMARO. THOSE WERE THE DAYS.
That “yes the rhythm” with the beat is actually Will To Power “say it’s gonna rain”. It’s the remix 12 inch single. “Orange sunshine dub”. The actual vocal of “yes the rhythm” is from Public Enemy. Sampling was much more creative back the.

Wow, he gets INSANE at 25:30. Just watch how fast he switches out the vinyl then queues and mixes the cuts. Very cool and old school!

Any idea which vinyl/volume the "Yes, the Rhythm" record at 25:25 comes from? Is this from his own set of loops?
That “yes the rhythm” with the beat is actually Will To Power “say it’s gonna rain”. It’s the remix 12 inch single. “Orange sunshine dub”. The actual vocal of “yes the rhythm” is from Public Enemy. Sampling was much more creative back the.
En paz descanse great DJ
