KAMP!, an electronic pop trio formed in 2007 in Lodz, Poland (although the paths of its members crossed years earlier) brings us an amazing mix of melodic synth-pop with influences ranging from 80s new wave to 90s french house and musicians such as David Bowie, Daft Punk, Royksopp, etc.
In 2009 the band released their first EP titled “Thales One” through netlabel Brennnssel, and only a year later came another great addition of “Breaking a Ghost’s Heart” (which includes one of my favorite songs). Since both of the releases are too good to miss (for all of you who love vintage disco, synth + electronic pop with an addition of some great vocals), we present you with both – the download link above is for “Thales One”.
The first tracks were created after a year of intensive rehearsals during which the band realized their true musical passion. In 2008 their first concert in the club Cafe Miesna, which was meet with highly enthusiastic reviews, became the beginning of a regular set of shows performed around the country and abroad. The first EP “Thales One” (greeted with great reviews and critically acclaimed in the leading independent media in Poland) was released in 2009 alongside numerous performances at festivals such as Selector, Heineken Open’er, and Audioriver. But it was their second release of the SP “Breaking A Ghost’s Heart” that have developed KAMP!’s vintage disco sound with the title song becoming one of their most popular tracks that found its way to the wider audiences and some of the most influential Polish radio stations.
Definitely one of the most promising bands I saw in a while.

Michal – beat; Radek – keyboard, beat, production; Tomek – vocals, keyboard, guitar
