Synth Crush, founded in late 2014, has hosted artists such as master producer Legowelt while consistently supporting local musicians, presenting live bands and live sets, and introducing large-scale visual installations, workshops, and screenings of films like Synth Britannia and I Dream of Wires. The project traces nearly five decades of synthesizer-driven electronic music, moving through shifting sound textures and a wide range of enduring genres, including New Wave, Minimal Wave, Dark Disco, Detroit Techno, EBM, Electro, Breakbeats, Italo Disco, and Synth Wave. For its 11th anniversary, the night opens with new DJs gagara and Analog Buddha, followed by Spanish DJ/promoter LØSTSØULS and the duo Velvet Robot & Illsee, building dense, immersive soundscapes that keep the crowd locked to the dance floor.
