Roots back in the 90's, yet creating fresh sounds for the future, Healium has become one of the strongest acid warriors of our time. Testaments to the fact are for example releases on international labels such as Djax-up-beats, Futureaudio and Vi Två Proloop and remixes for Union Jack, Art of trance and Acid Invaders.

Healium-project has always been about live performance and even though quality tracks are created in studio sessions, the main energy and passion of the band shows on gigs. There's no substitute for the good old 303-madness and driving beats.
