AKTYUM BIO:
AKTYUM made his epic US debut at Secret Psychedelica: Leo 2025 and absolutely conquered the stage. Now, the undisputed champion of psytrance from the White and Blue Sky is returning to the Bay Area to unleash his blazing new tunes! Hailing from the heart of Buenos Aires, Aktyum has built an empire out of immersive, pulse-pounding soundscapes that make dance floors tremble worldwide. His iconic psychedelic trance signature is pure magic, blending hypnotic melodies with relentless bass lines, and are instantly recognizable in his tracks on Maharetta Records, Shamanic Tales, and Dacru Records. Since Leo 2025, Aktyum has expanded his global reach by locking down a spot on the TechSafari Records roster and releasing high-profile EPs, most notably his top notch collaboration with Shivatree. These latest productions strike a flawless balance between dynamic drive and sharp, neuro-style circuitry while seamlessly bridging his Argentine full-on roots with a hyper-modern roar. Catch him at Public Works SF as part of his fiery summer tour of the Americas.
MOHARI BIO:
MOHARI is Buenos Aires' newest psychedelic trance royalty. This rising star commands the underground electronic scene with a presence you cannot ignore. Her journey ignited under the neon lights of 90s Germany, where she fell in love with techno. She later discovered psytrance and was instantly captivated by its hypnotic and high-vibrational dance floor power. Mohari's distinctive sound delivers majestic full-on beats and pristine psychedelic grooves through mesmerizing journeys. From the most exclusive, intimate events in Argentina, Mohari comes to San Francisco for her US debut at Lion Heart II. Catch her before she inevitably takes over the global stage!
SUNCHILD and MICHAEL LIU BIO:
SUNCHILD's quest into the realm of psytrance began at just 17 years of age when he attended a Goa Gil party. This set him on a cosmic trajectory and in 2005, he began producing with a noble philosophy: that sound and dance allow humans to access universal consciousness and unlock the deep energy of the soul. Known for steering listeners with wild, storytelling sets, he refuses to be caged by a single tempo. Instead, his incomparable style spans everything from dark, mysterious forest depths to fluffy, groovy full-on psytrance. For Lion Heart II, Sunchild is joining forces with Secret Psychedelica founder, MICHAEL LIU, for a fast-paced journey through psychedelic trance rooted deeply in the Northern California underground tradition.
ELEGIE BIO:
ELEGIE is a powerhouse French-born, US-raised artist who has mastered the global melodic house and techno scene with her raw, fiery passion and brilliant mind. A true tech-savvy visionary, she fuses her deep physics background and data science PhD with an absolute virtuosity of hardware synths, creating an unmistakable, chart-topping sound that has dominated Beatport's Top 10 and earned massive respect from giants like Paul van Dyk, Massano, and Korolova. Now lighting up San Francisco's most iconic stages--from Audio and Halcyon to breathtaking visual projects inside Alcatraz--she brings a fierce, authentic loyalty to her craft, proudly dedicating her music to her late, beloved bulldog, Edgy, by pledge-funding animal rescue charities.
KAARI and AXL PUERTO BIO:
KAARI of Droid9 and AXL PUERTO from AcidMindz will team up for a special opening set to ignite the night with absolute brilliance. Kaari is a roaring presence in the Bay Area progressive scene, commanding the decks with a bold, majestic energy that has created a devoted local following. Driven by an innate passion for rhythm theory, Kaari has built a mesmerizing auditory kingdom where analog circuitry meets raw, undeniable groove. His unique sound captivates dancers by combining the deep grooves of 80s Chicago house with the uplifting energies of European trance. Axl Puerto is a skilled vibe curator blending heavy emotion with pure, entrancing rhythms. He proudly rules the sonic jungle by fusing progressive and deep house with melodic techno into absolute masterpieces. The essence of their combined sound can be described as progressive futurism--an audio experience that should not be ignored.
