CONFUSION is an award-winning DJ, producer, and remixer with deep roots in the U.S. underground music scene. In 2025, he won the Future Funk Squad Remix Competition, earning a release on their UK label En:Vision, where he's currently signed alongside ElectroBreakz, Toast & Jam, and his own label, Funky Bat Records.

His journey began in 1996 after moving from Chicago to South Florida, where he emerged from the underground and quickly gained recognition. His first-ever drum & bass mix was voted #1 Best International Drum & Bass DJ Mix by Knowledge Magazine UK in 2000.

Known for his bass-heavy electro and funky breakbeat sets, CONFUSION also incorporates drum & bass and other genres when the vibe calls for it. His influences run deep, spanning Miami bass, 80s freestyle, heavy metal, alternative, Chicago blues, and funk—elements that fuel his high-energy, forward-thinking sets and productions.

A long-standing presence in North America’s dance music scene, CONFUSION has performed on key stages at Ultra Music Festival (Miami), Legendary Zen Festival (Miami), Era Fest (Tampa), Crystal Mountain Music Festival (Montana), and Shambhala Music Festival (Renegade – B.C., Canada). He’s also a regular favorite at Miami Music Week during the Winter Music Conference, while holding residencies at iconic venues from Seattle’s Fraktured to Orlando and South Beach. He has even played at the legendary Club Space in Miami, cementing his reputation as a DJ who can move any crowd.

In recognition of his impact, CONFUSION was honored by the NHL Seattle Kraken as a Sound of Seattle artist for his track Phat Ass Funk, which has been played at multiple NHL games in arenas. He has also been featured for live on-air guest DJ mixes on radio stations including 103.1 FM The Buzz (West Palm Beach), 99.7 FM ViBE (Las Vegas), and WVUM 90.5 FM (University of Miami).

Now based near Seattle, he co-runs Funky Bat Records with ekb*, blending music, visual art, and community. He also serves as the Breakbeat Music Ambassador for Vibe 99.7 FM in Las Vegas, the #1 dance music radio station in the entertainment capital of the world.
