On this episode of Pops N Drops, Chance the Closer and Rowdii sit down with BLERD—a rising DJ whose name celebrates his identity as a black nerd. With a year and a half behind the decks, BLERD recently performed at Realm and brings a fresh, thoughtful, educational perspective to DJ culture as well as the evolution of dance music. We dive into his set-building process and his approach to crafting memorable dance-floor moments. We also explore the cultural roots of house music, the importance of honoring its origins, and the differences between being a DJ who mixes versus a producer who performs. BLERD will be headlining Tech Tonic Thursday at Jungle Bar in Portland, Oregon on December 4th, 2025, and this conversation offers a powerful look into his journey, his influences, and the passion he brings to the scene.

The podcast delves into the contrasting financial and popular reception of "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" as compared to "Rogue One" and "Solo," highlighting the nuances in audience engagement and box office performance. Danny J. Quick joins the discussion to elaborate on his creative endeavors, particularly the Kickstarter campaigns for "Ace Blade" and "Ballad of the Black Rose." Furthermore, we explore the intriguing premise of comic book characters that possess the potential to be reimagined within the horror genre, including notable figures such as Scarlet Witch, Doctor Doom, and Brother Voodoo. The episode also touches upon the participation of Blerd Station in the Urban Action Showcase, alongside details of an upcoming IG Live session this weekend, promising a rich array of content that celebrates diverse narratives in the comic and cinematic realms. As we navigate these multifaceted topics, we invite listeners to engage with the conversation and reflect on the evolving landscape of storytelling in popular culture.“When justice gets dark… heroes get real.”Join us Thursday 10/23 @ 8 PM EST as we talk to Danny J. Quick, creator of Aceblade & The Ballad of the Black Rose!He's bringing the smoke, the stories, and the soul behind his comic universeThen we're flipping the script:Which Marvel or DC icons could truly THRIVE in the world of horror cinema?LIVE on Blerd's Eyeview where heroes and horror collide!#BlerdStation #BlerdsEyeview #Aceblade #BNN #ComicBookTalk #HorrorHeroes #BlackExcellenceTakeaways: The podcast discusses the box office performance of 'Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker', comparing its numbers to those of 'Rogue One' and 'Solo', noting that 'Rise of Skywalker' was less popular despite being a mainline film. Danny J. Quick elaborates on his comic projects including 'Ace Blade' and 'Ballad of the Black Rose', currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, emphasizing the importance of independent comics in the industry. The speakers explore the idea of which comic book characters could be adapted into horror films, suggesting characters like Scarlet Witch and Doctor Doom due to their dark and complex natures. The podcast highlights upcoming events such as the Blood and Bourbon event and the Urban Action Showcase, where Black comic creators will showcase their work, including the presence of Blerd Station. Danny J. Quick expresses his passion for storytelling, particularly focusing on narratives that represent Black experiences in genres typically devoid of such representation, like Westerns and horror. The episode concludes with discussions on the integration of comics into various media formats, including video games and live-action adaptations, and the need for diverse storytelling in horror.
