Mario Keglevic is the man behind the live act "Blender". Mario began his musical career in the comfort of his home in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He is a Croatian national but he has based himself in Amsterdam for the past 3 years. In 1999 Mario was inspired to create his own sound after being influenced by sounds of artists such as the Advent, Marco Carola and Umek.
In the year 2000 Mario spent most of his time producing tracks in the studio of one of his friends and learning the basics of cubase and reason. Being fed up with the limited options of producing music on his personal P2 PC at home, Mario decided it was time to invest in a proper studio of his own. By 2002 Mario set up his home studio and decided to focus primarily on creating his own sound and eventually release his own productions. During this process the live act "Blender" was born.
In 2003 the first unexpected appearances of "Blender" took place and amazed friends and party goers a like. It was at a small promotional party in a local DJ cafe "TWSTD" in Amsterdam that Heiko from freshtechno.com bookings discovered the talent behind the funky and solid sound of "Blender". In 2004 Mario signed with FRESHTECHNO and the rest is still to come.
