Starting on June 4th, and continuing every Wednesday, Disconexion—a group of DJs based out of Fredericton—is hosting Reboot Wednesdays, a free DJ show on The Cap patio. Nat LeBlond, a co-founder of Disconexion, explained that the new DJ collective hopes to encourage a wider culture of dancing in Fredericton’s music scene. Leah Titus, who attends Reboot Wednesdays every week, explained that crowds attending other performances at The Cap are unlikely to dance, making Disconexion and Reboot Wednesdays a unique experience on The Cap’s weekly lineup. Disconexion DJ Mackenzie “Mack” Keirstead, who performs as MK Extra, agreed, noting that the safe atmosphere and emphasis on showcasing new music makes Disconexion DJs different from DJs at other bars in the city. Rey Cascante, a member of Disconexion who goes by the DJ name Reyving, noted that Disconexion’s inviting atmosphere drew him to the group, despite having no prior DJ experience. Mack finished by explaining how he and co-founder Oscar Tecu, who goes by DJ Blue Angel, hope that Reboot Wednesdays become a spiritual successor to the wildly popular Reggae Nights at The Cap, which ended shortly after the COVID-19 Pandemic and routinely saw over 100 people dancing on a Wednesday night.
