A network curated by humans

Who makes DBN Link, and how. A network curated by humans, illustrated by AI, where the music stays the work of its creators.

// Our model

DBN Link is a synchronized radio and a magazine dedicated to Drum & Bass. We select the tracks, check the information and moderate before air. Our illustrations are produced by artificial intelligence and flagged as such. The music, however, is never generated by AI: it is, and will always remain, the work of human creators.

The music is the work of human creators, never generated by AI.
// Direction

Dakito

Founder & publication director

DBN Link is founded and directed by Dakito, the artist name of its founder. This is the sole responsible physical person: publication director and keeper of the network's spirit, putting the creators you have not heard yet at the front of the stage.

// The method

How we work

From the gem we find to the moment it goes on air.

01
Curation

We hunt for tracks, and you submit yours. The radio lives off creators, known or not.

02
Verification

We check the metadata (artist, title, duration, genre) and the origin of the official stream.

03
Moderation

Every submission is reviewed before going on air. Nothing unlawful, nothing stolen.

04
Validation

Dakito validates the schedule. Never any AI-generated audio: we only embed the creator's official player.

A model we own, in full transparency. The details are in our terms and legal notice.
