DJ Atlantis

Alter Ego Management and Bookings was founded by Cornelius Harris, a long time participant / sometimes artist in multiple Detroit scenes from hip hop to rock, jazz to funk, techno to even video. Alter Ego Management and Booking was formed to serve both the artists represented and the fans of those artists. Founded in Detroit, there was a commitment to seeing the success of clients in a city that, while loaded with talent, lacked the supporting industries to benefit from that talent. As a jack of all trades, he understood that working in such an environment mandated familiarity with many different people with many different skills in many different places in order for his clients to achieve the types of outcomes they were looking for.

DJ Amy Dreamcatcher

Ridiculous is the name and ridiculous is the game! Detroit DJ, Amy Dreamcatcher,  is never boring and always fun! Jamtastic indulgence of the synth-pop, new wave, and early hip hop jams.
