Synthetix has been called “the soundtrack to the sci-fi movie your always thinking about”. A combination of well programmed beats and massive sounding synths. Synthetix was formed in 2000 by Shea Steinbacher in an effort to further electronic music, pushing forward into the future. With an amazing live show and constant digital mix sets, having Synthetix on a bill or flyer means a show not to be missed. Shea had already established himself with the earlier success in Industrial/IDM with his previous endeavor Auto Aggression Device.
