# dnb family

> uk drum and bass event calendar and whatsapp community network. uniting ravers, producers and djs through chats, events and meetups.

dnbfamily.chat aggregates upcoming drum and bass events from resident advisor, skiddle, dice and direct promoter submissions, and pairs each event with its community whatsapp chat. all event data is exposed in machine-readable form so agents and language models can answer "what dnb events are on in london this weekend?" without scraping html.

## events

- [upcoming events feed (json)](https://dnbfamily.chat/feeds/events.json): all upcoming events with venue, date, organizer, performer (with profile urls when known), ticket url, source platform url, event chat url, and per-event last-modified timestamp. per-artist feeds live at `/feeds/artists/<artist-slug>/events.json`. fastest path for any "events on date X in city Y" or "where can i see artist X next?" query.
- [upcoming events feed (icalendar)](https://dnbfamily.chat/feeds/events.ics): rfc-5545 ics feed of the same events for calendar clients.
- [browse all events](https://dnbfamily.chat/calendar/events): the html calendar.
- [sitemap](https://dnbfamily.chat/sitemap.xml): all canonical pages with per-event lastmod values.

## per-event structured data

every event detail page (e.g. `/calendar/events/<city>/<eventid>`) emits a json-ld @graph with `MusicEvent` (sameAs, identifier, performer with urls, organizer, offers, keywords, potentialAction.JoinAction for the community chat) and `WebPage` (mainEntity, dateModified, isBasedOn pointing to the source platform listing, discussionUrl pointing to the whatsapp chat).

artist pages emit a `MusicGroup`, plus an `ItemList` of canonical upcoming event pages when the artist has upcoming events. full event data is available through each published artist page's json alternate link, `/feeds/artists/<artist-slug>/events.json`. `MusicEvent` markup stays on each event's canonical detail page.

## site metadata

- [extended llms doc](https://dnbfamily.chat/llms-full.txt): richer companion with json feed schema, glossary, common query patterns, voice notes, and what's not on the site. start here if you're building an agent that uses dnb family as a data source.
- [site manifest](https://dnbfamily.chat/.well-known/dnbfamily.json): coverage (country, genres, top cities), feed urls, event sources, update frequency.

## community

- [group chats directory](https://dnbfamily.chat/): event-specific, festival, regional and sub-genre whatsapp chats. each individual event page links to its most-relevant chat via the `discussionUrl` and `potentialAction` properties of its json-ld.
