We have enjoyed much success throughout the country playing the Electric Picnic last summer being our zenith. Synérgy have performed for many Charities raising thousands for Cancer research and tsunami victims in Sri Lanka. The band plan a trip to the island of no sorrow (Sri Lanka) this year to raise awareness and much needed cash for the survivors. Our mission moving forward is to spread positive vibrations and awareness .

Candy Cox is a Brazilian DJ born in Curitiba, Brazil. Since she was very young, she got interested in all kind of music, from classic to “gabba”. In 1999 she discovered techno and fell in love with it. Learning basic tricks form his friend DJ Bad, she developed her artist way. Her powerful sets, full of energy and clever mixes, made her a well known DJ in a short period of time. In 2006 she was invited by Marcos Remus to join Stereo 70 and Nerven Records roster and in October 2007 she did her first European tour. In March 2008, she came back to Europe for second time with a huge success. In 2009 she brought her 3rd European tour and her 4th tour in South America, both with a great success, according to her experience. During her career she has been spinning in countries like Portugal, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Venezuela… and in prestigious festivals around the world such as Dance Valley (Netherlands), Apokalypsa (Czech Republic) or Montagood (Spain) with the pleasure of closing this last one.

In 2010 she joined her friend Fernanda Martins to start a new project: Pink Noise. With their 4 decks project they also started their own label: Pink About It!. It has released various EP’s this last year. Nowadays, and with help of her experience, Candy is an important part of hard techno scene thanks to her hard work and her passion for electronic music.
