Kobi is the main moniker of Lou Wood, also known as Syntheme. She is a trance act associated with Planet Mu and WeMe Records, and her work combines acid and bass lines with drum sequences, ambient synth layers and, at times, heavily edited audio samples. Wood is born in Aberdeen, Scotland, grows up in Weymouth, Dorset, and later moves to Brighton, where Syntheme begins; she also lives in Berlin for a period before returning to the south coast of the UK.

Under the Kobi name, Wood works with a sound that draws on the foundations of 1990s acid and techno while using a softer ambient element. Her music is described in terms of its mix of melodic structure, bass weight and layered electronics, with occasional sample-based treatment.

Wood performs widely in Europe, including festival livesets at BLOC, Triptych and Bangface. Kobi is one of two artists using the name, alongside an experimental drone ambient project from Norway.
