Both joined Front 242 early in their history and de Meyer's distinctive growl became part of the group's trademark sound as their reputation grew during the late 1980s.

In 1994 the band went on hiatus while de Meyer and other members started to focus on side projects.

C-Tec produced two albums before going dormant towards the end of the 1990s,[4] whilst his other project Cobalt 60 was more coolly received.

Since 2006, he started 2 new bands: 32CRASH (with the members of Implant) and Modern Cubism, where he sings poems by Charles Baudelaire and Geo Norge.

He published a book in French in 2008, "Tous contraints", and started appearing on stage for performances as a reader and humorist.
