C+C Records

The C+C Records catalog represents an eclectic Norwegian independent label established in 1995. Rather than focusing on a single genre, the label served as a platform for a diverse range of artists, holding seminal works from the country's music history. This includes the influential archives of the legendary 1980s punk band Kjøtt and foundational hip-hop pioneers Warlocks. This historical weight is balanced with a strong presence in contemporary pop, most notably with Lene Alexandra's major hit single, "Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy Me," and the unique conceptual project Hovedøen Social Club, known for their salsa interpretations of Norwegian rock classics.

The collection is defined by its genre diversity, capturing a vibrant mosaic of modern Norwegian music. Its sound is anchored in foundational punk and rock, from the raw, politically charged energy of Kjøtt to the straightforward street punk of Snuten. Norwegian hip-hop is also a key component, featuring the classic, sample-based sound of pioneers Warlocks alongside the harder-edged style of Darkside Of The Force. This is complemented by a broad spectrum of melodic music, from the Eurodance-pop of Lene Alexandra to the introspective, American-influenced singer-songwriter craft of Karen Jo Fields and Christer Knutsen.
