PSYRYN BIO:
Making her San Francisco debut, this petite jade of many trades named PSYRYN began her sonic journey into the realm of psychedelic trance on the East Coast. Her adventures began in the early 2000s with the Gaian Mind and Psycheground collectives which in turn led to her residency with Substratum, a Philadelphia-based collective that organizes cutting-edge psychedelic dance music events. Psyryn's alluring sets are a musical blend of progressive psytrance from the conventional to the randomly obscure, making each performance unique & energetic! Her stage name and work embody the Sanskrit concept of mudita, "joy in the joy of others," aiming to create communal, transformative experiences on the dance floor.
LIAM SHY BIO:
A staple in the global electronic dance music scene, LIAM SHY is a prominent producer, DJ, and audio expert known for his diverse styles of music, including significant roots in psychedelic trance. With his deep connection to the psytrance community, Liam has showcased his full-on and Goa trance sound at various club events and festivals for over 20 years including performances at Love Parade, Coachella, and Ultra Music. He is also a well-known advocate for California nightlife, having served on the San Francisco Youth Commission and the Late Night Coalition while also co-founding the Save the Rave group which successfully organized against AB 74, a California bill that threatened to strictly limit electronic music events. Liam now focuses on his new love of drum & bass under the moniker Ritual X but will be returning to Aquarius 2026 to throw down a rare psytrance set!
SKUZZO and MICHAEL LIU BIO:
Since 2009, SKUZZO has been on a rebel mission to transcend the conventional boundaries of psytrance, pushing the envelope to the very edges of dark experimentation. Harnessing genre-defying powers and a truly innovative spirit, Skuzzo has channeled unique frequencies at the intersection of hi-tech and psycore, birthing an electrifying new paradigm his tribe has dubbed hi-core. Skuzzo's sets are a futuristic journey, delivering a full-spectrum experience designed to awaken the collective consciousness. For Aquarius 2026, Skuzzo will pair up with Secret Psychedelica founder, Michael Liu, to beam a combined vibration of high-voltage, experimental currents out to the masses!
DANNY DELOREAN and SEAN OCEAN BIO:
SEAN OCEAN is a local avant-garde musician with an independent spirit who has been a deep part of the Northern California techno community for more than 25 years. His resume is unconventional, boasting experience as a promoter, soundsystem owner-operator, and producer. He was present at the birth of the techno scene in San Francisco, watching it evolve and helping to mold it with a truly visionary perspective through his promotions outfit DefSF. He continues to help it grow by encouraging scene unity and networking with collaborators while always pushing for innovation and forward-thinking change. Aquarius 2026 places Sean together with Unplug! resident and synthwave/cyberpunk maestro DANNY DELOREAN for a truly dynamic, high-energy electro-techno set!
JERRY CHIU and KIKOX BIO:
JERRY CHIU of Deep & Dope and KIKOX from AcidMindz will team up for a special opening set to start the evening with a positive flow. Jerry first tapped into electronic music in the 90s but it wasn't until the early 2000s that he channeled his unique perspective into the art of DJing, drawing inspiration from San Francisco's vibrant scene. Since then, he's made guest appearances on global airwaves like Frisky Radio, Proton Radio, and DI.FM. In 2014, he launched his revolutionary label, Droid9, providing a platform for both established and rising progressive house artists to share their vision with the world. A cosmic traveler hailing from Mexico City, Kikox has always been drawn to the electric hum of the universe--specifically, electronic music. His soul resonates with a diverse spectrum of sounds, including the intricate rhythms of minimal techno and the raw energy of acid techno. The essence of their combined sound can be described as progressive futurism.
