I've spent most of my career building and running hospitality businesses; bars, clubs, and festivals in the Netherlands. What I kept noticing: the creative side of this industry is extraordinary. The infrastructure holding it together is not.

Now I'm building DAP/505.

A patchwork of WhatsApp threads, PDF contracts, and informal agreements holds together the DJ booking ecosystem. It works, until it doesn't. Trust breaks down at the edges, between the conversation and the contract, between the handshake and the payment.

DAP/505 is infrastructure for that gap. One place where DJs, agents, and promoters connect, align, and close with clearer agreements, calmer communication, and trust built into the workflow by design.
