After years of live streams from some of the most unique parties across the globe, we’re taking the genre’s oldest streaming series back to its roots with its first presenter-based model in five years – and it all starts with you…
We’re on the hunt for a dedicated presenter to front D&BTV, documenting the healthy state of the scene across the UK. The right person will be expected to get the best out of the DJs they interview, as well as the funniest comments from the crowd they chat to. They’ll hit the ground running armed with the infamous D&BTV microphone, and a trusty cameraman to capture all the magic. Most importantly: They need to be a card-carrying junglist.
The successful applicant will be attending and capturing all the action at Drum&BassArena events, with potential to cover other crucial parties in the UK throughout the year as the role expands. The aim is to document all the right moments and exclusives, show initiative, come up with segment ideas, interview questions and exhibit a strong understanding of what’s causing the most ripples across dance floors the world over.
Do you know your Andy Cs from your John Bs? Your A.M.Cs from your QZBs? Your Dispatches from your Divisions? If you live and breathe D&B culture and have what it takes to relay your passion to the screen, then this role is for you.
We’ve got form, too: Our last presenter search in 2012 unearthed Charlie Tee, who went on to host the Drum&BassArena Awards, launch a successful DJ career and land herself a regular slot on KISS FM.

Now, most of the Music users of Spotify and Soundcloud resources have “moved” to Instagram. And if you regularly talk about events in your life, then you can be awarded the title of musical “blogger”. At the start of your blogging, you can use paid services where you can buy Instagram followers online. This will give a small start in promotion, the main thing is that it works only if the musical content is really interesting. Then users will see a non-empty counter and will be more willing to follow the account. Just remember that you must very carefully choose a resource!
