Overview

c-burn (styled C-BURN MUSIC, legally c-burn systems ltd) is a British music playback company headquartered in London. It supplies fully licensed, professionally curated background music and the hardware and software to deliver it, serving businesses in the hospitality, leisure and retail sectors. Its stated purpose is to help venues get their background music "on brand" and to create an atmosphere that underpins the full customer experience. The company positions itself as a one-stop shop for business music: it profiles music for brands and venues, defines a sound, delivers it across a brand's estate, and keeps it fresh. Its music team hand-crafts playlists organised around moods and trading occasions — for example "Work And Play" for modern professional settings, "Drinks From Seven" for cocktail bars, "Dinner With Friends" for high-end eateries, "Trip to the Shops" for retail, "Grab A Quick Bite" for casual dining, "Night on the town" for late-night venues and "Lazy Sunday Lunch" for relaxed daytime trade. Music is scheduled to match a venue's trading patterns. On the technology side, c-burn markets the Revolution family of background music players — the Revolution 100 (described as the number-one choice for total music control), the rack-mountable Revolution LX for hassle-free music without staff interaction, and the entry-level Revolution BE controllable via app or tablet. It also offers Secret DJ, a mobile app described as an evolution of the jukebox and a "social jukebox" that lets customers pick songs. The company publishes live usage statistics on its website, such as songs played in the last seven days and songs picked via Secret DJ. c-burn works with a range of named venue and retail clients. Its case studies include the restaurant group MEATliquor, the bar and restaurant brands Loungers and Cosy Club, and the streetwear retailer Carhartt. It describes itself as a team of music curators, tech wizards and support supremos, assisted by a global network of taste-makers, AV specialists and qualified engineers. The company is privately held and operates from its London office; it can be contacted by phone, email and Twitter.

History

c-burn is a London-based music playback company. Public evidence about its corporate history is limited: its own website and Wikidata describe it as a music playback company, and its site presents its current services, technology and client work rather than a dated corporate timeline. What can be established from the available sources is the shape of its business and the evolution of its offering. The company operates from Ground Floor, 8 Eagle Court, London EC1M 5QD, and trades legally as c-burn systems ltd. It has built its business around supplying fully licensed background music to the hospitality, leisure and retail sectors, combining a curated music service with its own playback hardware and software. Its stated approach is to profile music for brands and venues, define a sound, deliver it across a brand's estate and keep it fresh — a one-stop-shop model covering curation, technology and support. Over time c-burn has developed a family of proprietary music players under the Revolution name. The Revolution 100 is presented as the number-one choice for total music control; the Revolution LX is a rack-mountable, ultra-robust unit designed to give hassle-free music without staff interaction; and the Revolution BE is an entry-level background music system controllable via app or tablet for those on a tight budget. The company also introduced Secret DJ, a mobile app it describes as the evolution of the jukebox and a "social jukebox", which lets customers participate in choosing the music. c-burn highlights live usage metrics on its website, including songs played in the last seven days and songs picked via Secret DJ, as evidence of the scale of its platform. c-burn's client work spans restaurants, bars and retail. Its published case studies include MEATliquor, which it says it supported from the beginning through the "happy chaos of MEATeasy to the slick global operation of today"; Loungers and Cosy Club, the bar and restaurant brands created by Jake Bishop and Co., for which c-burn helped create a soundtrack embodying the founders' offbeat style; and the streetwear brand Carhartt, cited as an illustration of its tailored service. The company describes itself as a team of music curators, tech wizards and support supremos, assisted by a global network of taste-makers, AV specialists and qualified engineers who can track the sound a client needs wherever they are. No founding year, founder names, ownership structure or financial details are provided in the available evidence, and none should be assumed. The company is privately held and active, operating from its London base and reachable by phone, email and Twitter.
