AEI London

AEI was founded by Diluk Dias and James Cotterill, and is one of the UK’s longest-running independent digital entertainment companies.

We operate a number of award-winning and highly successful entertainment brands, the flagship being Drum&BassArena, the leading global brand for fans of drum & bass and jungle music. Launched in 1996, Drum&BassArena encompasses a multi award-winning web portal, international tours & events, TV-advertised compilation albums, artist agency, as well as a digital distribution business.

For over 10 years, AEI has also provided a range of digital marketing and technology services to record labels, clubs, entertainment companies and major brands who have wanted to exploit the platforms, ideas and expertise we’ve gained through the development of the Drum&BassArena brand. Our philosophy is to preach what we practise, rather than to experiment at our clients’ expense!

2009 sees the AEI going back to its roots and placing its flagship brands at the core of the company’s activities. The digital media and entertainment market has shifted considerably over the past decade. But building brands based around niche communities and delivering entertainment content services, remains at the heart of what we do even today.
