to here, from here, brought to you by Hello DJ, is a series of contextual stories—songs, words, conversations, and love, exchanged in Los Angeles and out. Stream of consciousness; honesty and connections; music in its personal state, music in its shared state.

Growing up on Daft Punk’s Homework, discovering their queerness, and surrounded by the loving people in Los Angele, Hello DJ (AKA They/them DJ) remains a proponent of music, the shared or empty dancefloor, friendship, and living queerness beyond survival.
