Syence

Syence is a Los Angeles-based electronic duo consisting of Zach Montoya and Brayden James, who famously met in a college science class. Their sound identity is a sophisticated fusion of future bass, house, and electropop, characterized by high-gloss production and a focus on melodic accessibility.

Since their debut in the mid-2010s, they have evolved from experimental bass producers into a polished act capable of bridging the gap between underground dance music and mainstream pop. Their career arc is marked by significant label support from heavyweights like Armada, Insomniac, and Spinnin' Records, reflecting their versatility across dance subgenres. Culturally, they occupy the 'melodic bass' space popularized by artists like Gryffin and Illenium, but with a distinct emphasis on 'bass pop' - a term they have used to describe their hybrid style. Critical consensus highlights their technical proficiency in sound design, particularly their use of layered synths and vocal processing. They are a staple of the North American festival circuit, having performed at major events like Lost Lands and Beyond Wonderland, solidifying their position as a premier live electronic act.
