BLEID

Since their debut in 2015, BLEID has embarked on a musical journey that has had a quiet yet profound impact on Lisbon's electronic music landscape. Ranging from otherworldly ambient drones conjured live with a guitar and computer software to dance music that draws inspiration from a kaleidoscope of sound influences, they effortlessly transition between musical languages while showcasing their love for broken beats, internet club anthems, timeless rave tunes, and beyond. They've actively collaborated with various collectives, including Príncipe Discos, mina, Rádio Quântica, and more recently, the venue/cultural space Planeta Manas. As one of the visionaries and resident DJs behind Planeta Manas, they co-curate the space’s programming together with the infamous queer feminist rave collective mina and in 2023 they became the mind behind DESCE, an event that brings together rhythmic expressions from different parts of the world while highlighting emerging talents, hosting artists like CRRDR, White Prata, Kontronatura, Nídia and Tayhana. As a producer, they have released music on labels such as Naive, Ashida Park, Jerome, Al Centre and Rave Tuga, and they have also collaborated with renowned musicians. Their musical creations have been featured in various media, including film, fashion shows and performances. Notable appearances include performances at Atonal, MUTEK, Hypereality, Sonar, NOS Primavera, Semibreve, Whole Festival, Boiler Room and NTS.
