Due to the existence of another band called System Seven, they were initially marketed as 777 in North America. System 7 was the name of the current Macintosh Operating System at the time of the band's formation.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteve Hillage and Miquette Giraudy, both formerly of Gong, formed System 7 after hearing the likes of The Orb playing Hillage's 1979 ambient record Rainbow Dome Musick. They soon became part of the underground dance scene in London. While Hillage and Giraudy form the core of System 7, it is more of an extended collaborative project with artists such as Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier, Derrick May, Alex Paterson (of The Orb), and Youth. System 7 makes extensive use of Hillage's guitars.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHillage and Giraudy have also launched a spin-off project called Mirror System, \"the new vehicle for developing the chilled \u0026amp; downtempo dimensions of our music\". They have also worked under the name Groovy Intent.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/System+7","playStationPath":"/stations/116413662/play","stationId":116413662,"bioPath":"/music/System+7/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Vibrasphere","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/fd7/fd71ed0ae313da9857b6f1cdbd8ee0db_md.jpg","artistName":"Vibrasphere","artistId":81635,"station_id":268662895},{"musicPath":"/music/Plastikman","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/1a7/1a7b50dc65c4089ae095fc0b937f191e_md.jpg","artistName":"Plastikman","artistId":612,"station_id":114350798},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Art+Of+Noise","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e6c/e6ca0cb0ce8eac7fe5e8727e4448efdc_md.jpg","artistName":"The Art Of Noise","artistId":1211,"station_id":113370392},{"musicPath":"/music/Astralasia","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bb1/bb1f6b3328b73206dc1f941f9cae1b16_md.jpg","artistName":"Astralasia","artistId":114420,"station_id":282865234},{"musicPath":"/music/Andrew+Weatherall","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/e45/e4580174ef581eb9da143fb557542df3_md.jpg","artistName":"Andrew Weatherall","artistId":103267,"station_id":280764362},{"musicPath":"/music/Alter+Ego","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/142/142fae41890e23a2d60f95f5746cf3ac_md.jpg","artistName":"Alter Ego","artistId":85862,"station_id":272352053},{"musicPath":"/music/Chicane","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/dba/dba742f94a1ef76b501ed6c62aad13dd_md.jpg","artistName":"Chicane","artistId":4163,"station_id":113365358},{"musicPath":"/music/Bola","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b25/b255a7395f4528b37c4572a7bf031ed6_md.jpg","artistName":"Bola","artistId":4983,"station_id":114581191},{"musicPath":"/music/John+Tejada","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/3bc/3bc410fb795cc8d8d230e62773e83e13_md.jpg","artistName":"John Tejada","artistId":94531,"station_id":287828018},{"musicPath":"/music/Move+D","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d05/d05c1681349daed5db9d785c1cfb2851_md.jpg","artistName":"Move D","artistId":11481,"station_id":113460288},{"musicPath":"/music/LFO","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a3b/a3b64a7b3b8e40743faf9644cf7bae3c_md.jpg","artistName":"LFO","artistId":3386,"station_id":113398527},{"musicPath":"/music/Humate","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ad5/ad5abeaf56b4224bb4a61d3b2a2da957_md.jpg","artistName":"Humate","artistId":2898,"station_id":115369585},{"musicPath":"/music/Tom+Middleton","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/28a/28afae0cadcba0ce378a7236ca0757f6_md.jpg","artistName":"Tom Middleton","artistId":95483,"station_id":276275320},{"musicPath":"/music/Jaydee+NL+","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/036/036d859521b05bca1686dbf2fe602c32_md.jpg","artistName":"Jaydee (NL)","artistId":7117,"station_id":115111241},{"musicPath":"/music/Carl+Craig","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a1c/a1c6151b3c7867b350bd389d24937ca9_md.jpg","artistName":"Carl Craig","artistId":251,"station_id":113294242},{"musicPath":"/music/Der+Dritte+Raum","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/de7/de7be8cfb8c041326db403d2f8eade5f_md.jpg","artistName":"Der Dritte Raum","artistId":3198,"station_id":114952661},{"musicPath":"/music/Laurent+Garnier","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4dc/4dc159deb4e4e0ed92acd6e1bfb8f410_md.jpg","artistName":"Laurent Garnier","artistId":424455,"station_id":400254629},{"musicPath":"/music/Ken+Ishii","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/df0/df082c92d5bf5f823ae28005c3c81304_md.jpg","artistName":"Ken Ishii","artistId":11886,"station_id":115411286}]}
