Don Diablo presents Camp Kubrick – Whatchu Do
The artwork proudly states: โDon Diablo presents Camp Kubrickโ. When a duo includes one of the best-known DJโs in the world, it only logical his name is mentioned loud and clear. And when you do, you obviously donโt use his real name Pepijn Schippers. Yet, the Don is only one half of the project, the other being singer Denzel Chain (born Denzel Ketting).
Other than Diabloโs trademark future house sound, his new project offers an โ80s inspired pop sound. Their last single Falling For You for instance, appeared to be based upon Michael Jacksonโs The Way You Make Me Feel. And new single Whatchu Do, only their third, sounds very much like The Weeknd. That shouldnโt come as a surprise, for the Canadian superstar fishes in the same musical pond. And not quite unsuccessfully soโฆ (16 Billboard Music Awards nominations, anyone?).
Those are not the influences that are mentioned in Camp Kubrickโs bio, by the way. That document namedrops artists like Toto, Lionel Richie, Kraftwerk, and movies like โBack To The Futureโ and โThe Never Ending Storyโ. And with acts like Camp Kubrick, thatโs exactly what the โ80s are: a never ending story. Something Iโm genuinely happy about!
