✉️ [email protected]

I am a DJ, producer, multimedia artist, and tool builder living in Seattle, WA. I operate the record label `illegal afters tracks` and co-founded the Ground Hum music festival. You may also know me by my other aliases: 'nohup', 'sighup', DJ Kaaba Emoji, Wicked Lover and more.

I'm also the creator of Tempo Adjust, a set of browser extensions that help DJs detect and adjust the tempo of tracks on Bandcamp and Discogs, and some other tools for DJs.

You can find me on social media under the handle miseryconfusion on most social media platforms, including platforms like Soundcloud, Bluesky, and Mastodon
