a recipy for success. Mixing Trance, groovy basslines and beats they

History:
Staro started his music
experience pretty early in life, playing the keyboards at the age of
8 to 12. After that he joined the local town marching band as a
drummer. At the age of 15 he started playing the guitar, but it was
first in 1996, that he got the real taste for trance music,.
He started making music in Fast Tracker
2. In 2001 he got his first midi equipment and started using Cubase
as a Sequencer. In 2005 he had his first Radio Hit in Norway called I
loose my Way. It lasted 14 weeks on the chart but was never released.
It was during that time he met his fellow Co-producer Akki, who also
had a hit on the charts.
Akki started playing the guitars
at the age of 10. In 1989 he started producing music on the Amiga
500, using Pro-tracker making hip hop tracks with friends.
But it wasn’t before 2002 that he
started producing on Cubase. In 2005 he and Christian Zechner
released a song on the radio which became very popular, claiming
first positioning on the charts for some time. At that time he hooked
up with Staro, and they quickly became friends and fellow producers.
Thus resulted in the making of C-Systems.
Christian Zechner is known to
join the studio from time to time and share his opinions on the
future sound. He was also on their team producing ”Close my eyes”.
Shortly after they came in contact with DJ Lemon, who picked up the
song and released it on Apocalypse Records. “Close my eyes” was
also remixed by Lemon & Einar K, soon becoming a worldwide big
hit. It was picked up by the biggest trance acts in the world, voted
”future favorite” on Armin’s A State of Trance, and the winner
of “Global selection” on Markus Schulz own global DJ Broadcast.

Hojo is also providing C-Systems
with vocals and is their main guitarist.
