Dutch Beat Machine Camille Antoni re-emerges for the release of his debut solo single, L.U.N.A. ft. Pete Philly

Netherlands-based producer, mixer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Camille Antoni returns with his latest self-produced, debut hip-hop single, ‘L.U.N.A.’ featuring vocals from friend, rapper and long-time collaborator Pete Philly

“L.U.N.A” delivers a cinematic soundscape that’ll have you bobbing your head from beginning to end. Strong storytelling combined with Camille’s infectious cadence make “L.U.N.A” a hit to remember.

Best known for his session musician work, unique genre-bending productions and his involvement and founding of the indie-pop duo, Bungalow, Camille Antoni is a seasoned and highly experienced musician who is now ready to re-emerge and re-introduce himself to the world as a must-hear artist and beatmaker, working and creating on his own terms.

Having discovered his love for music at a young age, Camille Antoni has spent the majority of his adult life building upon and sharing his musical knowledge and skills with others. From his time as a student and teacher at the prestigious HKU University of the Arts near his hometown of Amsterdam, to learning analogue production from Jochem van der Saag (Seal, Jennifer Lopez, Whitney Houston) in Los Angeles, and interning at the iconic Mooie Jongens hip-hop studio in the Netherlands, Camille Antoni has lived and breathed music since the age of 12. 

Influenced by a vast and varied roster of artists, musicians and producers, no sound, genre or method is left unexplored when Camille creates. From the ‘godfather of punk’, Iggy Pop and The Sex Pistols to the neo-psychedelic sounds of Tame Impala, as well as the work of artists/producers like Tyler the Creator, Mura Masa, Anderson. Paak and Hudson Mohawke, Camille finds inspiration in artists who create their own universe of sound and texture, whilst always remaining authentic to themselves and their craft.

Determined to do the same, Camille Antoni presents ‘L.U.N.A.’ as a demonstration of both him and Pete Philly at their most authentic, unadulterated and raw. Created in under 24 hours, the record came about without any real planning or foresight from either artist but rather an organic meeting of the minds.

Driven by a deep frustration with humanity and our seeming inability to be mindful of the planet and each other, Camille took to his home studio to vent, resulting in a disjointed and uneasy hip-hop beat that accurately reflected his creative mood at the time. Dark and alluring yet bouncy and refreshing, ‘L.U.N.A.’ captures the very essence of Pete Philly and Camille Antoni
