SNYL, aka Ferenc Topa, is a Budapest-born indie dance / indie techno producer and DJ whose modern, genre-bending sound resists easy categorization and creates a sensory experience that connects body and soul.

He broke onto the global scene in 2020 after winning the Sincopat remix contest for AFFKT’s “Bac”, a track that spent over a year in Sincopat’s Top 10. Before launching the SNYL alias in 2017 with a remix for Kamilo Sanclemente’s Anthe, Ferenc had already spent over a decade in electronic music under earlier aliases, releasing more than 100 tracks on labels including Natura Viva, Nervous Records, Pacha, and Perfecto, with support from Hernán Cattáneo, Paul Oakenfold, and Sonny Fodera.

As SNYL, his productions have found homes on respected underground labels including Maccabi House, Katermukke, JEAHMON, SCI+TEC, Selador, and Einmusika. His music has repeatedly hit the Beatport Indie Dance Top 100, climbing into the Top 10, while drawing heavy support from Solomun, Innellea, Vintage Culture, Yotto, Township Rebellion, and Dubfire, who has named SNYL among his favorite producers.

On stage, SNYL has brought his sound to crowds worldwide: from Mexico City, Ibiza, Cairo, and Amsterdam (ADE) to Berlin, where he maintains a regular presence with appearances at Kater, KitKat, Ritter Butzke, Klunkerkranich and more. Whether in the booth or in the studio, his mix of melody, drive, and underground sensibility creates moments that resonate long after the last track.

Beyond his own work, SNYL is the founder of KontraKultura, a collective rooted in the underground electronic scene and dedicated to building a platform for the artists and sounds that move it forward.
