The Art of Turntablist
DJ Supreme will take on a journey from deep crafting of the blending and selecting and shaping music to take a live audience on an emotional journey.
Supreme is a championship DJ, turntablist, producer, and longtime figure in Hip Hop culture, combining championship pedigree, crowd-rocking versatility, and more than three decades of experience.
One of Supreme’s first major accomplishments was winning the 1991 World Supremacy Championship, beginning a competitive résumé that would eventually span multiple decades — and even two centuries. He later added victories including the 2006 Roc Raida Gong Battle, the 2009 DMC USA Supremacy Championship, and the Hip Hop 50th Anniversary Battle Champs competition in Times Square, establishing a rare record of major competition wins across different generations of DJ culture.
His career has also included touring, television, recording, and performances with artists including Lauryn Hill, KRS-One, Common, Dead Prez, Onyx, and The Crash Crew. He has appeared on Club MTV and BET’s Rap City, is credited on Lauryn Hill’s landmark album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and toured during the album’s celebrated run.
In the early 1990s, Supreme was the first to define the term “turntablist” to distinguish DJs who performed with turntables as instruments from those who simply played records—a term that would later become part of the English lexicon.
Supreme is also known as an entertaining and exciting live performance and show DJ, bringing personality, technique, musicality, and crowd interaction together onstage. Beyond concerts and showcases, he is a versatile party DJ, equally comfortable rocking clubs and private events with a broad mix of Hip Hop, R&B, funk, disco, reggae, house, dance music, and urban classics.
A vinyl purist with a personal collection of more than 20,000 records, Supreme was also among the early DJs to test the original Serato prototype, bridging traditional DJ craft with emerging digital technology.
With major victories across eras, deep roots in Hip Hop, and the ability to command both a stage and a dance floor, DJ Supreme continues to represent DJing and turntablism at their highest level.

ConCon Conspiracy Convention
First All-Inclusive Conspiracy Theory Convention Inspired by Locally Filmed Mockumentary The Conspiracists
WILMINGTON, Del. — The world’s first all-inclusive conspiracy convention is coming to Wilmington. ConCon, hosted by King Creative and Uncultured Swine, takes over the Siegel Jewish Community Center on Sunday, October 18, 2026, with a day of comedy, games, vendors, and a screening of the Delaware-made film that inspired it.
The event is based on The Conspiracists, a mockumentary comedy about siblings scrambling to save their conspiracy-themed convention before it falls apart. ConCon turns that fictional event into a real one, focusing on the lighter side of conspiracy culture.
According to organizers, whether any given theory is true isn’t the point.
“ConCon isn’t about whether conspiracy theories are true. It’s about why they’ve captured our imagination for generations,” said Christopher Bruce of King Creative. “Through comedy, games, pop culture, interactive exhibits, unique vendors, and a movie that brings it all together, ConCon transforms curiosity into a shared adventure that everyone can enjoy.”
Organizers describe the event as a place for families, skeptics, movie fans, comic collectors, and the generally curious to spend a day laughing together instead of arguing.
ConCon Expo Schedule and Activities
The ConCon Expo runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., followed by a screening of The Conspiracists and a cast Q&A from 5 to 7 p.m.
What to Expect at ConCon
- Tin Foil Hat Build Station: Attendees can craft their own headgear, and organizers will pick the best design
- Bigfoot Calling Championship
- Kids Foil Fashion Show
- Real or Fake?: An interactive game show that tests attendees’ instincts
- Vendor Hall: Comics, collectibles, independent artists, and interactive experiences
- Meet-and-Greets with the artists, puppeteers, and creators behind the film
- Full Screening of The Conspiracists with hundreds of fellow fans
- Live Cast Q&A featuring behind-the-scenes stories from the production
