Discover a groundbreaking EDM sensation pulsating through the heart of the District’s vibrant LGBT community: FREAKQUENCY.
FREAKQUENCY isn’t just an event; it’s a movement born from a deep passion for electronic music and a commitment to inclusivity. Curated by the visionary minds of William Pannell (aka DJ Onyx, a celebrated local DJ and artist) and Terry Thompson Jr., Freakquency is an electrifying journey into the heart of the District’s vibrant LGBT scene.
Fueled by their love for the circuit scene and its transformative power on gay culture, Pannell and Thompson recognized the need for a fresh, accessible experience tailored to an underserved audience. With its August 2022 debut, Freakquency instantly captivated attendees, garnered glowing reviews, and ignited a loyal following. The momentum has only intensified from there, with each subsequent event surpassing expectations.

FREAKQUENCY goes beyond being just a party by prioritizing health and wellness initiatives tailored to the needs of the black gay community. We’re dedicated to creating a supportive environment where individuals can thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally, extending our commitment beyond the dance floor to ensure everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered.
Partnering with organizations like CAPITAL PRIDE ALLIANCE and Impulse Group DC, we actively contribute to promoting sexual wellness, mental health, substance use awareness, and racial equity within our community. In support of our shared mission, Freakquency is proud to donate a portion of our proceeds from our May event to Capital Pride Alliance and Impulse Group DC, furthering our collective impact on creating positive change.
