C2C

C2C is born in 1998 from the meeting of 4 French DJ's : Greem, Atom, Pfel and 20Syl.

Member of an emerging movement called "scratch music" (or turntablism), this crew keeps working on finding original sounds and knows how to benefit from its technical control to put forward some musical quality which makes its identity.

Each member uses then his turntable as an instrument, recreating thus in turn drums or bass guitars, scratching a riff of guitar or shearing the brass... to lead to a general harmony such as bands made up of instruments known as "traditional".

C2C has obtained in September 2006 its fourth DMC Team World Champion title in a row. This performance entered then into DMC Hall of Fame, beside precursors as Afrika Bambaataa, Kool Herc, GrandMaster Flash, Jam Master Jay or the producer DJ Premier. This crown is in fact the result of a keen upstream work: while taking part regularly in competitions, they make progress and make a clean sweep of the best ranks as they also won ITF 2005 Team World Champion title and Hip Hop World Challenge title. Pfel, the latest DJ joining the crew, round off this prize list by his collection of trophies won in solo competitions (DMC, ITF).

This rise has seen them perform around the world alongside Q-Bert, A-Track, DJ Kentaro, The Scratch Perverts and DJ Vadim to name a few. Exploiting at the very maximum human as well as material possibilities (mixers effects, feedback, larsens...), the show presented on tour is out of breath for the listener/audience. The denseness of sequences is cut by technical parts meant to underline individual performances. Routines give way to live compositions mixing turntables of one and machines of another, finished brilliantly, with their 6 minutes sets having made them champions of the world.

On the creation side, the quartet excels too and particularly in realizing pieces intended for producing. Thanks to their various experiences and after long soundgrubbing work, they launch out a whole series of breakbeats entitled "Flyin' Saucer" (3 volumes to date) including several own innovations. A recent proof of their qualities in this field : 20Syl and Greem, respectively MC and DJ of the band called Hocus Pocus, invited the two others C2C Djs to take part in their album "73 Touches" (On And On records). This collaboration has just led on a track completely played with turntables. Their new album "Place 54" has been available since October 2007.
