Drum and Bass Arena

Drum and Bass Arena is a drum and bass music website and brand, established in 1996. It offers up to date information on the worldwide drum and bass scene, an online shop, user forum, and digital download section. The site hosts D&BTV, which features video clips, DJ sets, interviews, and various musical entertainment.

The site was created in 1996 by Sheffield-based Drum and Bass enthusiast The Risky (James Cotterill). In 1998, he teamed up with web designer and entrepreneur Diluk Dias to change the site into a business. Drum&BassArena relocated from its original Sheffield HQ to London in 2005.

Art directors The Designers Republic were brought in to create the distinctive yellow and black identity and logo which has remained unchanged since. Original designer David Bailey (now Kiosk Design) continues to work with the brand. The site and brand is owned by AEI Media, a London-based digital media company.

Since then, the business has extended into hosting events and tours, releasing compilation albums, merchandise and digital distribution, and various other brand extensions.
