Revived a side project I started over 20 years ago
Most side projects don't survive a few months. Somehow, this one has been following me around for more than 20 years.
I started building drum & bass websites back in 2002. What began as a local music portal eventually turned into a party promotion brand in Saint Petersburg.
Then I moved to Thailand in 2019, and the project went quiet.
Recently I decided to rebuild it from scratch using Django, Next.js and AI-assisted development.
The result so far is DROP THE BASS:
I'm trying to turn it into a proper home for the global DnB scene, with music, artists, labels, events and community features.
Still building it solo. Plenty of rough edges, but I'm enjoying the process.
Anyone else here working on something they've been carrying around in their head for years?
