Baltimore Blend Battle 10 · 22 March 2026 · Ikonic Live!

DJ Bizzon took the tenth Baltimore Blend Battle, coming through a fourteen‑DJ field at Ikonic Live! in downtown Baltimore to take the title on the battle’s tenth anniversary.

He left with $5,700 — the advertised purse plus a pot the room pooled into on the night — along with a pair of Ortofon VNLs and a shot at $5,000 on the Festival at Sea DJ challenge.
