I am BLADE*, a curator and passionate DJ, the force behind the MITA Project and AAL (All Against Logic) from Santiago, Chile.

My musical journey began with the soulful rhythms of Motown, inspired by legends like Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and my personal favorite, Prince. The depth of R&B and the blues from B.B. King, Freddy King, and Jimi Hendrix captivated me, leading me to the rock landscapes of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.

My fanaticism for jazz introduced me to its improvisational brilliance and complex harmonies. Simultaneously, I fell in love with the hypnotic grooves of classic house music from Chicago and Detroit.

As BLADE, I blend genres like microhouse, deep house, and minimal, creating sets infused with authentic and magnetic energy.

In recent performances, I focus on two paths: curating music from underground artists in genres like jazzhop, jazz, and hip hop, along with timeless tracks from the '90s; and for the dance floor, selections of deep house, microhouse, minimal techno, and jazz.

*BLADE (pronounced in Spanish)—I am Rodrigo Mladinić Dragičević, known as Blade, a nickname from my university days derived from shortening my complex surname.

Amante de la música desde la cuna.  Siempre atraído por los sonidos extraños y deformes.
El universo de sonidos electrónicos llega en su adolescencia, junto a los  primeros discos de Bjork, Massive Attack,  naciendo un amor a primera vista con todo el género y su cultura. A partir de  ahí, la  búsqueda por sonidos espaciales comienza a ser parte de una constante curiosidad.   Da sus primeros pasos musicales formando una banda de rock, donde participa Francisco J. Gonzales Director de Sound Creative,  con quien tiene una estrecha relación musical.  

Una indagación permanente  comienza entre mixtura de géneros y texturas.  Pasando por el hip hop, acid jazz, nu jazz y trip hop. Sin dejar de lado el rock en ninguna etapa.

Su identidad musical fue influenciada y  basada en  guitarras, beats y sintetizadores. Seguidor y admirador de de Radiohead en  la década del 2000.  A partir de ahí comienza a investigar a artistas como Aphex Twin, Amon Tobin, entre  otros.
Comienza  su carrera como Dj entre los años 2007-08, impulsado por sonidos psicodélicos derivados de los festivales de la época. 
Hoy a más de una década, su sonido se caracteriza por conservar la arritmia del jazz y del rock. Así como también la estridencia y la especialidad de los sonidos electrónicos en su gran amplitud.

Actualmente participa como profesor en Soun Creative. Además es miembro del colectivo TKWR (the kids want records), siendo curador y parte del equipo creativo del proyecto.

I’m Siria, a DJ and music selector from Chile, currently based in Malta. My sound moves between Minimal and Deep House, exploring hypnotic rhythms, deep textures, and grooves that invite the body to let go and the mind to drift.

For me, music is a form of connection. Each set is a story I build in the moment, guided by the energy of the crowd and the atmosphere of the space. I love creating living soundscapes where every mix breathes and evolves naturally, always searching for that point where everything aligns and the dance floor moves as one.

In Chile, I had the opportunity to perform in some of the clubs that shaped my path, such as Santo Remedio, Blondie, and Onaciu. In Malta, I’ve continued expanding my sound, collaborating with different collectives and performing in various venues, sharing the stage with artists like Silat Beksi, Sebzito, and others who resonate on the same frequency.

My journey is about chasing that moment where sound and emotion merge, and music becomes a space to get lost and found at the same time.
