C2C is not be yet a household name for the electro/urban music enthusiast. But the three-lettername is nonetheless legendary in the world of “turntablism”, a highly technical yet intensely musical discipline, with performers using turntables as a bona fide musical instrument.

started developing their own unique performing style. Their achievements in the competition circuit come second to none. The quartet ranked #1 in the DMC World Competition four times in a row (2003-2006), thanks to their unique blend of breathtaking technical dexterity and innate musical sensitivity. The audience was astonished by their highly playful yet incredibly precise and spectacular routines, and the intoxicating jazzy tunes they managed to create through their deceptively simple contraptions. To this day, their live performances remain extremly popular, totalling more than 7 million views on Youtube alone, and continue to spread through online and social media.

“We had to close the loop”, they say with a single voice. C2C’s true purpose, beyond competition, has always been to produce music, or rather to devise a brand new way to create and perform music. Now in their thirties, and freed from the constraints of the competition circuit, the quartet has matured, without losing any of its enthusiasm and energy. Rather than relying on borrowed samples and scratches, C2C has recorded an extensive palette of instruments: strings, brass, guitar, bass, keys, etc., often played on vintage instruments and equipment to capture the elusive “seventies sound” they so cherish. The same goes for the voice tracks, featuring talented vocalists. The result is an acrobatic yet deeply melodic and atmospheric series of pieces, a uniquely electrifying blend of electro, soul and hip-hop moods.
-------- 2012 ----------
C2C’s first EP « Down The Road » was released on the 23rd of January 2012. Since then, The EP benefits of great critics and success from both audience and medias. The album is scheduled to be released next september. The 2012 live tour features all the skills that made the quartet an instant success on stage, all the while introducing a plethora of innovative musical and visual elements, and a flurry of talented guests.
