What is C2C?
A group of French DJs attempting to lay claim to the crown of electronic funk production left by the likes of Jus†ice and Daft Punk.
Where have they come from?
A major force on the continent for some years now, Nantes-based C2C have only managed to translate that to UK recognition more recently along with the rise of European festivals and tens of millions of YouTube views.
Who are they?
Consisting of four DJs – 20Syl and Greem from Hocus Pocus and Atom and Pfel from Beat Torrent – C2C combine breakbeat and turntablism to create a high tempo blend of hip hop and funky electronica, perfect for the sunset slot at a UK festival (Glastonbury 2013 – it’s a dead cert).
Why should I care?
Their 2012 debut album Tetra took the top spot in France, and between 2003 and 2006 the group won the Disco Mix Club World Team DJ Championship four years in a row. Most importantly C2C grabbed the 2013 European Border Breakers Awards earlier this month – a recognition of their ability to cement success outside of their home country, with previous winners including Adele, Mumford and Sons and Damien Rice.
