SUNRiCE 2026

KADUM LIVE brings Brazilian energy and a live psytrance set built on pressure, movement and the moment. This is the kind of name that does not need a long explanation: press play, lift your head and let the dancefloor work.

We are adding a name that follows its own path and has represented Brazilian Psy Free-Form and Suomisaundi around the world for years.

Hongos Longos is the project of Jonas Coute from Rio de Janeiro, a multi-instrumentalist educated at UFRJ. He started producing music at the age of 13, made his first computer track in 1998 and released his first solo album in 2003.

His sound is known for wide stylistic variety from ambient and progressive to night, goa and folk, a range of roughly 70-170 BPM, acoustic instruments such as cavaquinho, flute and percussion, Brazilian rhythmic influence and live sampler manipulation directly in the set.

He has released 9 albums, 14 EPs, dozens of compilation tracks and more than 15 hours of music in total. He is also part of the parallel audiovisual project Reipas Longos with Finnish artist Petri Pajunen.

His latest album brought together 12 projects from 7 countries in collaborations with a Brazilian theme. Behind the project is also Random Records, a non-profit label that sends all profit to Indigenous peoples through Survival International.

He has played major Brazilian festivals such as Universo Paralello, Earth Dance and Zuvuya, performed in Israel as a headliner alongside Fractal Cowboys and, since late 2023, has been actively touring the Brazilian festival scene again.

kW-asar, also known as Kwasar, is a home resident and a name directly connected to our SUNRiCE energy. He belongs to the part of the lineup that does not need unnecessary noise around it, but knows exactly when to push and when to let the space breathe.

DR. LU is a melodic psytrance DJ and producer from Slovakia, now based in London. Her style blends rhythm, emotion, energy and strong melodies with influences from Indian and Middle Eastern folklore and old-school dance music. She started mixing in 2022, has played across the UK and Europe, and since 2023 she has been part of Ik-Tek Records. Her debut single Power of Hope was released in May 2025.

Libor Fiala aka DJ Liborski comes from Púchov and has been behind the decks since 2005. He started in Shaka club with progressive house played purely from vinyl, but psy music had always been close to him. After moving to Austria he expanded to regional events, and since 2020 he has been fully dedicated to psytrance. Today he is part of Psyalaska Tribe Slovakia. His sound is hypnotic, groovy night psytrance with smooth mixes and hypnotic harmony.

Daniel Binarstorm is our president, one of the founding fathers and one of the people without whom SUNRiCE would not be what it is. He has been connected to SUNRiCE from the roots until today. And the same goes for Butchers Bay Crew: that is not them, that is us. A crew connected to music, visuals, deco and the overall atmosphere around our events. Daniel is not just part of the lineup. He is part of the story.

FLSON is one of the festival’s permanent fixtures. His first touch with electronic music came in 2002 at indoor techno parties. Since 2009 he has been involved in events as a DJ, later also as decorator and organizer. Since 2012 he has been part of Butchers Bay Crew. From techno, tekno and dnb, his path moved toward daytime progressive psytrance: playful, carefully selected and very much his own. Outside music, he is a lifelong lover of old wrecks.

Xalala a.k.a. Loud Dance is a euphoric psychedelic project that shifted from DJ sets to live sets in 2024. Behind the name is Vitor Fernandes, currently based in London, with a sound moving from melodic full-on to happy hi-tech and a clear love for Full-on Night. He has appeared at events such as IllumiNaughty: 20 Years of Chaos, Forbidden Jungle, Psy Gypsies: Psyvolution vol. 2, Pandora’s Box and Savage Hippiez - Cloud 9.

LEOCITAS is another banger from the German psytrance scene. DJ, artist, producer, designer, calligraphy, graffiti, bodyart, photography, videography, editing and healthy vibes. His musical path started with instruments, voice and production, and later fully moved behind the decks in Berlin. His style runs through teknoid, groovy, funny, funky, hard and faster psy, but also chill and relaxxx moods. Variety all the way.

ARNIE is one of the names connected to SUNRiCE from the beginning. One of the founders, one of those names that simply belongs to the whole thing, and at the same time our best-known name reaching far beyond the festival itself. Music has been part of his whole life: from music school through brass orchestra, bass guitar, rap crew and vinyl collecting all the way to chillout and psytrance. His selection is organic, folkloric, progressive, diverse and truly his own.

DJ Cybernetixx has been active on the electronic dance scene for more than 30 years. It started with techno in 1991, then through other branches of electronic music he fully moved into psytrance in 2000 and added hi-tech in 2010. After moving to Brno he became part of the local scene and over the years played clubs, open airs and festivals across the Czech scene and beyond. After building his studio he also started creating music under the project Neural Spectrum.

DAFFY is one of the founding fathers. He started DJing in 2007 as a member of Drtek crew, helping create the Olomouc Epilepsia parties. From drum and bass and tekkno, he gradually moved into psytrance after his first psytrance festival in 2010. Then came Butchers Bay Crew, the SUNRiCE team and years that made him a solid part of our story. Today he plays more recreationally, but at SUNRiCE he is still at home.

FISCHMEHL is the Austrian representative of our crew, connected to SUNRiCE not only through music, but also through helping promote the festival abroad.

He launched his project in 2010 and has built a name with a sound that is hypnotic, driving, deep and cosmic at the same time. PsyTechno, Progressive, Full On, Twilight or Forest: depending on the time, space and people.

He has played across Europe, Asia and Latin America, with releases that moved beyond the dancefloor into labels and charts. Exactly the kind of name that can move a place and leave a trace behind.

This is not just another guest from outside. This is part of the SUNRiCE story beyond the borders.

Fractalizard is a DJ originally from Brno who has been active on the music scene for more than eight years. During that time he has appeared at many art and music events across the country, as well as at a number of well-known Czech festivals.

He has long been part of the psytrance crew Shivadeco, where he is active not only as a DJ, but also as a decorator. Together with his DJ companion Snaketake, he has also been developing the BLIND VISION project and crew for several years, building their own soundsystem intensively.

His musical palette reaches from forest and dark psytrance through tekno, dub, zenon, chillout and deep dubstep to glitch hop and other genres. Expect a name that does not treat music as one straight line, but as a wide and living space.

Outside the stage, Fractalizard is currently finishing his bachelor studies at FaVU in Brno, in the Sculpture studio, where his final work is a three-meter concrete fountain shaped as a defragmented hexagonal Tibetan stupa.

This is another name you definitely do not want to miss on the hill.

KLEI-NY is the youngest member of the crew and maybe the most energetic one. He has been dedicated to music for 10 years, has moved through many genres, stood behind smaller events in Unicov and shaped his approach into sets that are not random, but carefully built rides.

His sets are detailed, full of energy and often prepared months in advance. He enjoys playing from four decks, connecting different musical elements and telling his own story through sound.

Creator of iron structures, builder of the bar and one of the people without whom SUNRiCE would not be what it is. He first stood behind the decks in 2009 with drum and bass records.

Under the name Harry Junior you may know him from dnb stages; as Hardydam he moves into psybreaks and psytrance experimentation. This is not just another lineup name. This is someone who plays the festival and builds it too.

MARYJANKA has had music in her since childhood: from flute, clarinet and saxophone to a turning point at CzechTek 2003, where she discovered electronic music and its transformative power.

In 2008 she immersed herself in DJing, searched for her own path and moved through breakcore, raggacore and fairytale melodies. After returning behind the decks in 2019, she found a new direction in melodic & organic house: music that breathes, flows and naturally opens space for dance.

AID is a DJ and producer who has lived in Austria for the last three years, while shaping his sound in Italy across underground parties, beach gatherings, smaller festivals and street parades. That is where his signature formed: tribal energy, deep atmospheres and a strong connection to the dancefloor.

Outside music, AID is also a professional chef, and that second passion naturally appears in his approach to sets. Like in the kitchen, he works with balance, intensity and emotion. Instead of flavours, he mixes hypnotic grooves, deep psychedelic textures, tribal rhythms and unexpected remixes of iconic tracks.

CSOMCSOM is a Budapest-based DJ and producer moving between psy and trance, bringing a euphoric and slightly swampy atmosphere into his sets.

He is one of the main organisers and residents of the Baraka team, and has been working with psychedelic music and production since 2022. Since then, he has released music on labels such as Teclab, Nofear, Hard and Fast, Vitesse Record and Curioscity Pill Berlin. He has also played festivals such as Sun Festival, Techlab Gathering, Ohfala Festival and 3DNA Festival.

Van°Atius is an Austrian DJ with more than 14 years of experience on the scene. He started with tekkno and DnB, but dark forest and fullon eventually pulled him fully in.

His sound is melodic, playful and exactly the kind of energy that does not tiptoe around the dancefloor. He can read the crowd, push the atmosphere upward and turn an ordinary moment into something that stays with you.

Conscious Soldiers are a dub / reggae crew and soundsystem from Olomouc. On the hill, they always bring a different pressure, a different groove and a different colour to the night.

They are not playing SUNRiCE for the first time. They played with us last year and keep returning because this connection simply works. Expect a proper soundsystem vibe, deep bass and energy you can feel across the whole space.

AMETRINA is heading to SUNRiCE all the way from Bolivia. Her musical trace runs through AMETRINA MUSIC and Resina Records, where psychedelic energy, dancefloor pressure and a South American imprint meet.

This is a name worth checking before the festival. Bolivia on SUNRiCE, Resina Records in the lineup and an energy we definitely do not hear on our hill every day.

Not everyone has to be a crew member to be part of the family. That is exactly LanDchi: our loyal supporter, long-time friend and someone who has been connected with us for many years.

Founder of Coconut DJs, resident of Prague's Studio 54 and above all a tireless DJ with more than 20 years behind the decks. His sets combine tech-house, techno and house music with a focus on modern sound, flow and energy that keeps the dancefloor warm.

Mataraja from St. Polten, Austria, returns to SUNRiCE. Last year we welcomed him for the first time, and this year we continue with another chapter.

He has been a member of Open Mind Group for several years and brings a set that is not built on effect for effect's sake. His strength lies in harmony, gradual build-up and a path that slowly opens, layers and pulls you deeper.

Zlosin found music roughly 7 years ago when he met a synth, and as he says, it was love at first pattern. After a year in the studio he started playing mainly on the underground tekno scene and has since played dozens of parties.

He works with his own analogue synth productions as well as mixes from his all-in-one machine. His range moves roughly from 120 to 190 BPM, serving tribe, tekno, hardtekk, house, EDM and other musical detours.

teRRor discovered his love for electronic music in 2004, mainly through jungle, jump up, liquid and techstep. After his first years behind the decks he co-founded S-O-S crew and later continued with FIGUREHEADS crew.

After a longer break he founded dnb_FoReVeR crew, where he works as a DJ and promoter of BASSINSIDE and BASSANDBEER events. He gradually moved into his own production too, and then psytrance took over strongly.

Cassie has been appearing behind the decks since the end of 2023, but she definitely does not sound like someone who came just to look around carefully. Besides psytrance, she is not afraid to reach for tekno, DnB or hard techno.

She most often serves beats in Prague, for example at Cross Club or Centrala, but she has already moved other dancefloors too. In 2024 she co-founded the multi-genre Subverse crew with friends, focusing on DJing, events and graphics.

FUER is a live electronic project at the intersection of science, technology and underground psychedelic culture. Originally from Catalunya and now based in the Czech Republic, he has spent years inside the hypnotic pulse of the Czech underground tekno scene.

His sound connects deep mental and tribe atmospheres with psytrance energy, analogue synthesis, modular improvisation and dark textures. This is not just playing tracks, but a live system changing in real time.

Peet V has been active on the music scene since 2006. He has moved through various styles and from 2011 started focusing more on dance music and organising events.

His sets are built on energetic, driving tech-house and house. He has played Prague and Moravian clubs, experienced club operations and also helped organise a music festival in the Sumperk region.

SAMPLES is a Slovak DJ, host on DAB radio ZUN, producer and occasional drummer living in Brno. His journey started back in 1989 as a hip hop DJ and MC in Kosice.

From 1993 he moved toward dance music and built a wide musical perspective. He has lived in London and played in Israel, France and Hungary. Since 2021 he has been part of ZUN, a 24/7 house music radio station.

NOV.SAVEUR is an artist who does not fit into simple genre boxes. He balances between different forms of trance, while psytrance and cross-genre mixes hold a special place in his musical world.

His style keeps evolving, from the Indian-psy track Mama Shiva to Unreal in a classic hard trance spirit with Polish trance vocalist Emily Orchard. Genres are not borders for him, but material for building his own sound journey.

Stanley is a DJ, promoter and member of Walachian Tribe from Zlin. He grew up on metal and its subgenres, but gradually started discovering other musical worlds and was captured by psytrance around 2006.

Since 2025 he has been part of Elektrica Musica, an association working to keep the alternative scene in Zlin alive. He mostly plays progressive psytrance, but can also move into chillout and alternative electronic directions.

Radek aka KUSVEKYAKAKAO started creating and recording his first mixes around 2005. From the beginning it was clear that his world would not be limited to one direction.

He moves through psytrance, psychill, ambient, dub and trip-hop. Since 2007 he has played occasional events at home and abroad, with sets also heard at festivals such as Digital Forest, Ufo Bufo and Beats For Love.

Czida, real name Ivan Gropl, is another Czech trace in the lineup. His public musical footprint shows clearly that this is not a name locked into one genre drawer.

On SoundCloud you can find a tech-house mix, Deep&Neuro mix, Hard DNB mix and Spring Mix from him. He brings a wider musical range, a feel for groove and the ability to let the space ask for its own mood.

Quellcode is a name many people remember from last year. Daniel began his journey into psychedelic arts in 2010, and after ten years on the scene with his project BoB, a new frequency emerged: Quellcode.

His sound is built on hi-tech precision, melodic depth, hypnotic harmonies and beats that rewrite the source code of the dancefloor.

Fantasma is a Finnish guy from Sweden who is currently hiding somewhere in a Czech forest. He has been exploring and playing different forms of psytrance since 2004, when he played his first public set in the chillout at a Swedish goatrance party.

Today you can expect funky, foresty psychedelic beats, unexpected turns and a set that starts building its own unusual logic along the way. Playful, forest-minded and not built with a ruler.

Tulpa | Dusha are two audio projects by Anna Martinova, a composer, DJ, singer and performer originally from the Latvian Baltic and now based in the Netherlands.

Under Tulpa she serves night psychedelic trance stories, dark progressive, dark psytrance and live modular techno improvisation. Dusha is her authored, composed and sung musical side. She also founded Modular Moon / Modular Synthesis School.

DJ Katana returns to SUNRiCE from the Austrian Pinzgau region near Salzburg. He is a veteran of the electronic scene and has been behind the decks since the 90s.

His sound ranges from melodic psytrance through crushing Full On to intense Night Psy. Last year he also brought a bow and archery workshop, but this year the focus is mainly on what he brings behind the decks.

Psilostatic comes from Sri Lanka and brings twisted dark forest soundscapes in the 148-155 BPM range to SUNRiCE. This sound does not lead you along a straight path, but pulls you deeper into the forest and the night.

He is signed to Kabiri Records and Yokshaa Records. Kabiri Records released the compilation Echoes Of The Abyss, compiled by Psilostatic, so this is a dark trace with a clear signature.

MIXXO is one of our big favourites, a regular and a kind soul whose place with us has long been clear. As a representative of the Slovak PsYachTronic family, he does not feel like an extra name on SUNRiCE, but like someone who belongs on our hill.

When he appears in the lineup, we know it will be honest, natural and with the heart in the right place. If you know him, you know. If not, it is time to check him out.

ProTuberance has been part of the scene since 1995. He started on the legendary Technics SL-1210 turntables, learning beatmatching from the ground up by ear, feel and a real passion for vinyl.

Today he plays on Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS, but the soul of his sets remains the same: honest mixing, precise timing and connecting tracks into one musical path. His sound ranges from drum and bass, house, minimal and techno to melodic psytrance.

Hamelin is one of the pioneers of the psytrance scene in Mexico and among the early international representatives of the genre and its branches. He has played in more than 10 countries and released music on labels around the world.

After years on the scene he also entered the film world as Hugo Riveroll, but music never let him go. Today he creates in San Cristobal de las Casas in Chiapas, focusing on sound exploration, audio design and new live acts.

Woidschratz is the project of Flo, a DJ and producer from Austria with roots deep in the forest. His sound combines driving basslines, dark yet playful soundscapes and a hypnotic journey between light and shadow.

He has been part of the electronic scene for several years, bringing raw, earthy dark progressive energy to the dancefloor. Wild, untamed, yet precise.

Kryzka Nadzemsky lives and creates in Prague and has been involved with music since an early age. The NADZEMSKY project officially started in 2020 and has since been shaping its own sound.

His music combines organic textures, strong basslines, 303 acid lines and subtle melodies. For SUNRiCE he brings a live set with a hardware setup including an MPC sampler, Korg Electribe and Roland TB-3.

Jaroslav Fiala aka RAAYA is a Czech music producer from Vlasim who has been involved with electronic music since the early 1990s. Since 2008 he has been especially active on the Czech psytrance scene.

He has released several title tracks on Luk-si Records and another serial album through Supraphon. In 2025 he released Eather DR. Bass in a psy drum&bass style and also works as a music lecturer and producer.

Smashing Raver is part of the Prostejov crew KLBCK and this year celebrates 30 years behind the decks without a break. His path has moved from hardcore, rave, jungle and techno to a long period in house music.

During covid he moved into hip hop mixing and scratching, reached the DMC CZ&SK final and now trains almost every day. At SUNRiCE he will present a showcase from downtempo through hip hop and ghetto funk to house.
