Myself and one other student were successful in producing remixes that where sold to UMPG for a set fee.

BDR was a popular underground music website enjoying its peak years in 2006 - 2008 (averaging 30,000 unique IP address hits per month for 2007.) I created the site as an eclectic hub for hard underground electronic music. My main goal was to connect myself with the music scene in London, in order to further my DJ'ing and make new connections. The site was incredibly successful in this regard, getting me many gigs throughout London and the UK and connecting me with a huge amount of like minded DJs and musicians, many of whom I still call close friends today.in late 2004 I sketched out the idea for the site on paper and then passed this plan to a friend whom created it using the web design program Dreamweaver. After the site was completed I taught myself basic dreamweaver skills in order that I could update the site myself. In 2010 the site was rebuilt to conform to as many web browsers as possible. The site rebuild was carried out using the then popular Joomla platform. Again I created the redesign idea on paper and then passed this to my web designer. The new site incorporated a better layout with blog articles and advertisement space. In late 2013 I entered full time study. In January 2015 (10 years on from the sites launch) I decided to no longer update BDR, leaving it online as an archive only. Show less
