History
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 (ddias) to further develop the site as a business. Drum&BassArena relocated from its original Sheffield HQ to London in 2005.
World famous 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.
