SynatecSynatec is a French-born, Amsterdam-based DJ & Producer with a rich history in electronic music. While studying Arts in Paris she became vastly influenced by artists like Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, and EBM bands, she began DJing in the mid-90s, with her early sound shaped by labels like R&S and Warp. Her career took off in Paris, where she explored international industrial sounds. She later co-founded the B.A.S.S. collective, which was one of the first all-female DJ groups, inspiring many women in the rave scene.

Synatec's journey includes various DJ aliases, such as Witchcraft for Hardcore Techno and Nuala for Jungle/Drum'n Bass. She gained success in the Benelux, Germany, and Israel, and B.A.S.S performed at the renowned Lowlands festival. After a brief hiatus, she returned to Drum’n Bass in Amsterdam, followed by a shift back to her Techno and Electro roots. During the pandemic, she pursued certification in Electronic Music Production and relaunched her career through live streams and events.

In 2024, Synatec joined the DAMN TECHNO organization, organizing events to unite old-school and new-school techno communities. Her style is versatile, blending UK Breaks, Jungle, Techno, Hardcore, and Electro.
