In 2026, “SINTĒZE” will take place at two iconic locations in the quiet center—the “Kaņepes Culture Center” at 15 Skolas Street, our very own listening bar “When Coffee Meets Whisky,” and, of course, the “T Studio” store at 20/22 Baznīcas Street. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore music production, DJ equipment, and studio gear, as well as participate in diverse and educational activities that will provide insight into the possibilities of modern technology in music creation. The event is open to everyone and is free of charge!!!! We encourage all visitors to bring their own headphones with a 6.3mm adapter. !!

In 2026, the “SINTĒZE” event will take place on September 26, starting at 2:00 p.m. It will take place at the Kaņepes Culture Center and T Studio stores, and will conclude with a lineup of DJs and electronic music artists at the bar When Coffee Meets Whisky, starting at 10:00 p.m.

Throughout the day at the Kaņepes Culture Center and T Studio, visitors will be able to check out the hottest new DJ and electronic music gear. Whether you’re a DJ, producer, or live musician, you’re sure to find equipment that could be relevant to your professional work. On-site, you’ll be able to test out the latest innovations in the world of synthesizers and modular systems, as well as meet representatives from the recording studio equipment industry. In the evening, we invite everyone to an after-party at the When Coffee Meets Whisky bar, where, starting at 10:00 PM, we’ll announce the winners of the “Sintēze 2026” Producer & Live Competition and enjoy a full night of live electronic music and DJ sets!
