C-systems Oslo // London We..are..C-Systems. Matt is a classically trained composer and teacher. Although he had piano lessons when young, he knew that playing other people's music wasn't for him. Over a few years, Matt began to experiment with basic music technology. He realised that combining his instrumental skills with studio tech was the way to go. Matt pursued a solo career in the dance music industry for 3 years under the alias of 'Bushi' before collaborating with Akki. Matt has had successful releases from a multitude of labels and extensive DJ support between 2009 and 2011. Akki started playing the guitars at the age of 10. In 1989, he started producing music on the Amiga 500, using Pro-tracker to make hip hop tracks with friends. It wasn’t until 2002 that he started producing on Cubase. In 2005 he and Christian Zechner released a song on the radio which became very popular, claiming the number 1 spot on charts for some time. Akki then worked collaboratively with Henning Wilhelmson (Staro) for several years. Bushi and Akki crossed paths when working together with Unearthed Records in 2011. Akki did a remix for Matt and Luke Terry on their track, “Skyfall”. Akki loved working on the track and Matt liked the production. Akki suggested that they try an original together and they set to writing their first collaborative track, “Leading Destiny”. The writing process was swift and their skills complemented each other extremely well. Akki and Matt made the decision to work collaboratively on other tracks, most notably “Ari”, released by Enhanced Records under their collaborative title “C-Systems and Bushi”. With extensive DJ support and a great relationship being formed, Matt made the decision to stop producing under “Bushi” as a soloist and instead work with Akki permanently under “C-Systems”. Over the last 3 years years they have released many successful productions with a number of different labels from a cross the globe. This includes Unearthed Records, Alter Ego, Blue Soho, Black Hole Recordings, Raz Nitzan Music, Enhanced Music and Armada.
