Leisan is a Russian-born house and tech house artist who is now based in Los Angeles. She has gone from organising underground raves for post-Soviet communities to delivering acclaimed performances at festivals and clubs. Her music combines emotional depth with danceable energy, and her stage presence radiates warmth and charm. She inspires other women in electronic music through her authenticity, creativity and courage in developing her own sound. Her commitment to visibility and diversity means she is a voice that delivers beats and builds bridges.
Leisan’s musical identity is a blend of house, tech house and melodic depth. Born in Russia, she moved to Los Angeles, where she started organising underground raves for post-Soviet communities — spaces where music and genuine encounters took place. Leisan’s sound is defined by her sense of mood and dance energy: her sets combine groovy basslines, warm vibes and playful tech house elements that connect with club and festival crowds on an emotional level.
Leisan has already secured a permanent place on major stages. She has performed at renowned festivals such as Burning Man, Lightning in a Bottle, PureMusica, Deseract and Up Fest, where her sets have been celebrated as spaces for freedom and self-expression. Her club appearances range from Sound Nightclub and Academy LA to her debut performance in Chicago at Spybar, where she took the audience on a collective journey with deep grooves and thoughtful song sequences.
Leisan releases her own tracks and collaborations with artists such as Liquid Rose, Milan, and others on labels including Diynamic, Abracadabra, 303Lovers, and Voltaire.
Notable releases include the energetic tracks “White Tee” (with Liquid Rose), “Bag Mission” (with Milan) and “Hold On”, showcasing her range from house to tech house. These releases reflect her groove and her willingness to experiment across genres and bring together different dance styles.
Leisan’s vision extends beyond DJing; she considers electronic music to be a social, life-affirming experience that connects the body, emotions, and community. Her sets are less like a playlist and more like lively entertainment, in which she guides the audience sensually and rhythmically. This approach creates a space in which dance can be experienced not only physically, but emotionally too — a strength that sets her apart from many of her contemporaries.
In addition to sound, Leisan’s work also addresses the question: “Who has visibility in the scene?”
As a woman of Eastern European heritage in the international house music scene, she sets an example of diversity, accessibility and female presence. Through her public visibility and creative approach to performance, she inspires other women to raise their voices and take ownership of sound spaces with confidence.
Leisan regularly collaborates with other artists, both on stage and in the studio. Her tracks with Liquid Rose, Milan and Eurostep showcase musical synergies and reflect her openness to different perspectives within electronic music.
Today, Leisan is more than just a DJ; she is an ambassador for a sound culture that aims to inspire not only dancing, but also connection between people, providing inspiring proof of how an authentic personality, clear artistic vision and passionate performance can enrich the electronic music scene.
