C-Systems Drops “We Are The Night”- A Celebration of Rave Spirit
Their story is one of connection where music bridges the gap between people, places, and moments, from the studio to the dancefloor.
What happens when two artists from different corners of Europe, Matt Allen from London and Akki Hisham from Oslo, share the same vision for trance music? You get C-Systems, a duo that has quietly and consistently shaped the modern sound of this genre.
From the very beginning, C-Systems stood out, not just for their technical prowess but for their ability to weave stories through melody. Their music, centered around powerful vocal performances and uplifting energy, has resonated with fans across the globe. It's a sound that's both nostalgic and forward-thinking, emotional yet explosive, designed as much for the heart as it is for the dancefloor.
Over the years, Matt and Akki have worked with some of the finest vocalists and songwriters in the industry, producing music that carries a personal touch, yet echoes with listeners around the world. Their releases on top-tier labels like Armada, Black Hole Recordings, A State of Trance, Pure Trance, Coldharbour and Enhanced Music have earned them the respect of the scene’s most influential DJs. And their recent accomplishments speak volumes: a powerful rework of Angelic's “It’s My Turn”, a dream collaboration with the legendary Chicane, and not one but two standout remixes for Armin van Buuren, including a bold take on "This Is What It Feels Like".
But C-Systems isn't just a studio project - they live and breathe on the stage. Their DJ sets are immersive journeys filled with exclusive edits, creative bootlegs, and unexpected moments that keep crowds locked in. From Ministry of Sound to Egg London, and massive stages like Luminosity Festival and A State of Trance Festival, they've earned a place among the scene's most captivating live acts. Even global tastemakers like Insomniac and Transmission Festival have taken notice.
Every now and then, a track comes along that doesn’t just sound like trance, it feels like it. With “We Are The Night”, C-Systems captures that exact sensation - the sense of belonging to something bigger, something that lives outside the boundaries of everyday life.
For Matt and Akki, trance isn’t just a genre, it’s a way of being. “We Are The Night” was born from that belief. In this release, they set out to blend their signature melodic sound with a more tech-forward edge, pushing their creative boundaries while staying true to the emotions at the heart of their music.
“Bringing in the futuristic spoken voice gave the track another dimension - something we hadn’t done before,” they shared. “The words are ours, and they tell a story that reflects so many of us - whether we’re dancing in the club or creating in the studio.”
“We Are The Night” is more than a track - it’s a celebration of the rave spirit. It’s for those who crave every shade of trance, for those who know the feeling of being fully alive under the lights, and for those living a life many never see - but we all feel when the music drops.
