"Syntheast was on a couple of weeks back, now in its third year, it's become a well established synth show with exhibitors, performances, and talks - and a friendly vibe.
Regular contributor Paulee Bow (@magicalsynthadventure3216 ) had a slot playing an improvised set with the organizer Robin Vincent (@MoltenMusicTech ) so we sent them a phone trig to capture some of the people and performances from the 3 day event.
Thanks to those who spoke to Paulee and Robin Vincent for the additional footage.

"Here's my walkthrough of the London Synth & Pedal show, along with my thoughts on why this show is important for bringing new people into the world of synths and modular."
Details on this year's upcomiing event:
The London, UK edition of the Synth & Pedal Expo will return to the "Hackney Wick riviera" on March 22-23, 2025.
Free to the public, the London Synth and Pedal Expo is an annual, strictly-in-the-headphones event featuring: A gear expo – where musicians can try pedals and interact with builders A pop-up market – where exhibitors can sell their products to attendees Soldering DIY Workshops in the heated terrace by the canal Product Clinics and Presentations (also in the terrace) Gear giveaways and other promotions (discounts, deals, etc) There's also a full-fledged Brasserie/Restaurant next door for those who intend to spend the entire day at the event.
---
The expo, which was attended by close to 2,000 visitors in 2024, will return to the same venue in Hackney Wick (Studio 92/94), and it's the only major event for synth lovers hosted in London. It's a unique opportunity for the huge local community of synth and pedal lovers to check out and try the latest devices by big and small builders belonging to two increasingly cross-pollinating niches.
It will also feature an educational component with workshops and clinics, and an assortment of media partners and influencers that will allow it to broaden its relevance beyond the physical constraints of a real-life event.

The Story behind the Expo Launched in 2018 in Brooklyn, NY, the Synth & Pedal Expo is a dynamic and compact gear exhibition in a pop-up format, specifically tailored for the vibrant, city-based music communities shaping the most lively scenes in North America and Europe.
Unpretentious, free to the public, and pop-up in nature, this strictly in-the-headphones event was born from an NYC music blog covering local emerging bands called The Deli as a way to entertain the community of musicians it served.
After expanding to several other big North American music scenes like Los Angeles, Toronto, and Portland - the Synth & Pedal Expo launched its London show on March 18, 2023 - although it was initially scheduled for 2020.
Event Details: When: March 22-23, 2025 Where: Studio 9294, Hackney Wick, London
"2024 was the year that Elektron Super Sekvens was born! It’s been a blast unfurling our sonic smörgåsbord of live music and collaborative performance multiple times throughout the year. A massive thanks to everyone involved.
Every sekvens has a start. The fun question is... what’s next? Can’t wait for you to join us around the table somewhere, sometime soon!"
