Trance Duo C-Systems Deliver a Dreamy, Emotion-Fueled Single “1000 Miles Apart” For Their Dreamstate Records Debut
C-Systems, the trance duo of Matt Allen (UK) and Akki Hisham (Norway), are known for their melody-driven, uplifting sound that blends emotional depth with high-energy production. Matt, a composer who builds tracks from heartfelt piano melodies, and Akki, a seasoned producer with a history of radio success, have been writing together for years, shaping a signature style that keeps vocals and melody at the forefront. Their music has found a home on top labels like Armada, A State of Trance, Black Hole Recordings, and Enhanced Music, earning support from major DJs and securing them a spot in the global trance scene.
Beyond the studio, C-Systems has built a strong presence in clubs and festivals across Europe and the UK, with performances at Luminosity, Ministry of Sound, and A State of Trance 2024. Their sets are packed with exclusive edits, mashups, and remixes, keeping fans engaged with fresh takes on both their own tracks and classic anthems. In recent years, they’ve collaborated with trance legend Chicane, remixed the classic “It’s My Turn” by Angelic, and put their own spin on Armin van Buuren’s “This Is What It Feels Like”. With momentum on their side, C-Systems is focused on pushing their sound even further, proving that for them, melody always comes first.
“‘1000 Miles Apart’ is uplifting trance in the purest of forms. Although the driving intro is written to get a dancefloor energized, the real magic happens in the break—the entire section is designed to really reach for those lasers in a peak-time set.”
C-Systems is set to make a powerful entrance on Dreamstate Records with their latest single, “1000 Miles Apart”, releasing on February 21st. Known for their deeply emotive and melody-driven approach to trance, the duo has crafted a track that encapsulates the bittersweet ache of distance and the hope of reunion. The theme is especially personal for Matt Allen and Akki Hisham, who live in separate countries, making the song a reflection of both their artistic and personal journeys.
Sonically, “1000 Miles Apart” is pure uplifting trance, weaving together shimmering arpeggios, soaring synth melodies, and rolling basslines that drive the track’s euphoric yet melancholic energy. The addition of ethereal vocalizations adds a dreamlike quality, reinforcing the sense of longing that runs through the heart of the song. It’s a track designed to stir emotions, whether experienced on a festival dancefloor or through headphones in a moment of solitude. With this release, C-Systems not only cements their place among trance’s most sought-after artists but also marks an exciting new chapter with Dreamstate Records—further solidifying their presence in the global trance movement.
