Brand Values

• •Dedication to D&B Culture
• •Community Building
• •Authenticity & Credibility
• •Evolution & Innovation
• •Quality
• •Celebration of the Scene

Best Practices

• •Speak the Language, Authentically: Use terminology and slang that resonates with the D&B community (e.g., "massive," "junglist," "rewind," "reload," "vibes"), but avoid forcing it or sounding inauthentic. Stay true to the scene's dialect.
• •Channel the Energy: D&B is an energetic genre. Let this reflect in the copy with dynamic verbs, a sense of urgency (where appropriate for drops/sales), and an enthusiastic tone. Avoid overly passive or subdued language.
• •Emphasize Community & Heritage: Regularly reference the brand's long history, its role in the D&B scene, and the collective identity of its fans. Use phrases that foster a sense of belonging like "D&B family," "join the massive."
• •Be Visually Consistent with Text: Ensure the tone of the copy aligns with the brand's strong visual identity (black & yellow, block logo). For example, bold statements, clear calls to action, and a confident style.
• •Stay Current but Respect the Roots: While embracing new artists and trends, always show respect for the foundations and history of D&B. Your copy should bridge the gap between the pioneers and the new generation, making everyone feel welcome and understood.
