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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
