A mini movie: The DJ Sole Experience 🎬✨�Geeknik Edition 🧠🎧
In 2026, I attended my first Blerdcon… right here in the DMV.�I walked in seeing a community I knew I wanted to be part of… but I didn’t fully understand how to step into it.
Fast forward one year later…
I’m not just attending anymore—�I’m helping create the experience.
And that… means everything to me 💫
This weekend was bigger than just DJing. It was about pouring into a community that already pours so much into itself. Every set, every interaction, every moment—I tried to give it everything I had.
Now I’m not even gonna lie… my original vision for this recap? Gone 😭�(Whoever got my camera… I hope you stub your toe respectfully.)
BUT…
What made this even more special is that this video became less about my perspective… and more about yours.�Pieces of this came from my phone, but a lot of it came from the community itself.
And that’s what Blerdcon really is ❤️
Huge shoutout to all the panelists, performers, and creatives I had the chance to work with—y’all are incredible, and y’all ARE the experience.
Shoutout to Blerdcon Programming + the team behind the DJs…�The diversity, the talent, the vibes… unmatched. I’m forever grateful for the opportunity.
S/O to all the Blerdcon DJs too… we different fr 😤🎧�I might be new to this lane, but I’m standing with y’all every time.
And a special shoutout to my guy DJ Vega 🤝�Full circle moment. From conversations about “getting into the scene”… to sharing the stage at Blerdcon. Always Locked in my Guy!�
As long as I’m invited back, it doesn’t matter where I am in my career…�Blerdcon will always be HOME 🏡�
So… I guess the real question is—
�We running it back in 2027? 👀🔥
More clips on the way.�Trust the DJ.
