About us

BUILT AFTER THE LAST SHIFT

D After Factory Collective is a new Detroit collective. We're here to give DJs paid work, give promoters reliable talent, and give entertainment creators a place to link up instead of grinding alone.

We're starting from the ground up — no gatekeeping, no long résumé to get in. If you make music, film sets, host, or throw parties in this city, there's a seat for you.

What we do

WHAT WE OFFER

Paid YouTube Sessions

Filmed DJ sets for our channel — you get paid, you get the footage, and the set goes out to a growing audience.

Gigs for DJs

We connect DJs in the collective with paid bookings and put them in front of the right rooms and promoters.

Promo Gigs for Promoters

Promoters get DJs tied to promotion work — one point of contact for lineups, flyers and reach.

DJ Bookings

Book the collective for any event — weddings, brunches, cookouts, corporate, birthdays, festivals or club nights, day or night. Tell us the date and the crowd and we'll match you with the right selector.
