Clubs are already experimenting with AI-driven sets in small ways, but widespread use will likely roll out in stages rather than overnight. In the near term, you’ll see AI mostly as a behind the scenes helper for human DJs, with smarter track selection, stem separation, and tighter transitions, plus automated playlists for warmups and quieter nights. After that, it’s realistic that more bars and smaller venues start using automated mixes for early opening hours, midweek nights, or second rooms to save money or cover gaps. Peak time main room bookings, though, are likely to stay human led for a long time, because clubs aren’t just paying for beatmatching. They’re paying for crowd reading, culture, hype, and a name that brings people through the door, with licensing and music rights rules also slowing fully automated AI DJ adoption.
Police Interceptors (Channel 5), Essex Police link up with Ofcom to track down and raid Klash FM 92.8, an Essex pirate station that was making plenty of noise back in the day, before the episode originally aired in August 2010. 
Pirate radio has always been part of UK music culture, giving underground scenes a platform when mainstream stations wouldn’t, but it’s also the reason Ofcom steps in, because unlicensed transmitters can cause interference and they’ll seize equipment to shut broadcasts down. 
In the 90s and early 2000s, jungle and drum & bass didn’t just soundtrack the era… they basically helped raise a whole generation of gamers. Those fast breakbeats and deep basslines were everywhere, in racing games, futuristic shooters, arcade style menus, and late night console sessions where the music matched the adrenaline on screen. It felt like the sound of speed, focus, and rebellion. Perfect for grinding levels, learning maps, and chasing high scores with your friends. For a lot of people, DnB wasn’t something they “found” later; it was baked into the memories of booting up a game, hearing those rapid drums kick in, and instantly locking in.
From starting out on his own in 2021, going live and building everything from the ground up, Dom Whiting’s journey is the definition of momentum, turning raw drum & bass energy into a full on movement. Fast forward to 2025 and it’s not just streams anymore; it’s crowds, streets, and whole cities, proving what happens when consistency meets passion and the music speaks for itself.
