AEI is an independent music community that nurtures emerging talent. We provide infrastructure and an environment that enables growth and success. With over 20 years experience and success AEI continues to look to work with entrepreneurs and talented people across music including live, media, content and publishing. Back to 1996 when James Cotterill identified the potential for a dedicated online portal for the then-fledgling drum & bass scene. Drum&BassArena was born. The first site of its kind, it united the genre's global audience and created a firm platform for a wide variety of media developments. By 1998 James and Diluk Dias established AEI. In the years that followed, the company has naturally expanded, incorporating recorded music, unique content, live events, digital sales and artist and brand development. An organic growth, driven by our passion for the music and our aim to be the household name in bass music, AEI Group is now recognised as an industry leader in music-based content publishing to youth audiences and hosting events in this growing field. Now able to develop and nurture talent and deliver them to the focused audiences via our tried and tested branded platforms, we provide 360° support for each artist while providing fans with the best music experience possible.
