Byrdfeed was the name Danny Byrd's official website carried at byrdfeed.co.uk: the archived homepage announces itself as "Danny Byrd Feed - The official website of Drum + Bass producer Danny Byrd", according to the Wayback Machine's captures of the address (checked 2 September 2026).
Danny Byrd is the English DJ and record producer from Bath, born 4 May 1979, who has released drum and bass through Hospital Records since 1999, per the Wikipedia article on Danny Byrd. This page explains what the original Byrdfeed was, when it existed, why major reference sites still cite the address, and what byrdfeed.co.uk serves today.
What the original Byrdfeed carried
The original Byrdfeed carried the artist's own hub, organised into 4 named sections that all played on the Byrd name: ByrdBlog, ByrdTube, Byrdwatching and FaceByrd, per the archived homepage held by the Wayback Machine. The naming maps cleanly onto what an artist site of that era did: a news column, a video channel, and 2 social-facing sections, each branded to the artist. The site presented itself in its own title as the official website of a Drum + Bass producer, which is precisely what it was: the sourced record states plainly that byrdfeed.co.uk was the official website of Danny Byrd.
When Byrdfeed was live
Byrdfeed's documented lifetime is the archive's to state: the captures run 2010 to 2017, and the snapshot this reference works from is dated 22 December 2012. A capture only proves the site existed on that day, not when it began, so the launch date of the original Byrdfeed stays unclaimed here. What is certain from the record is the other end of the story: the original site closed, the captures stop in 2017, and the address no longer serves the artist-run Byrdfeed in any form.
Why Wikipedia and Wikidata still point at byrdfeed.co.uk
Wikipedia and Wikidata both still cite this address as of 2 September 2026. The English Wikipedia article on Danny Byrd lists byrdfeed.co.uk as "Official website" in its external links, and Wikidata, the structured database that feeds infoboxes and knowledge panels, records property P856 (official website) for the item Danny Byrd (Q1172004) as http://byrdfeed.co.uk. Those citations were written for the original Byrdfeed and have outlived it: a reader who follows either of them arrives at this address expecting information about Danny Byrd, years after the site the citation described went away. That standing traffic of expectations is exactly what the current site is built to answer.
What byrdfeed.co.uk serves today
Today byrdfeed.co.uk serves an independent, third person reference site about Danny Byrd. The independence is stated plainly: this site is not the official Byrdfeed that the address once carried, it does not present itself as the official website, and it does not speak for Danny Byrd. What it does instead is answer, with sourced facts, the questions the inherited citations bring here: who Danny Byrd is, what he released, what charted and when. Every number on the site traces to a checked source, such as the No. 36 UK Singles peak of "Ill Behaviour" or the 10 October 2010 release of Rave Digger, and a figure that cannot be sourced is left unstated rather than invented. The full editorial position, including how the site handles the entity it documents, is set out on About this site.
What happened to Danny Byrd's other web address
The other natural web address for the artist, dannybyrd.com, currently serves an empty placeholder page of 114 bytes with no content, per a direct fetch of the address checked on 2 September 2026. That leaves the landscape for a reader in 3 parts, none of which is an artist-run site:
| Address | What it serves, as of 2 September 2026 |
|---|---|
| byrdfeed.co.uk | This independent reference about Danny Byrd |
| dannybyrd.com | An empty placeholder page, 114 bytes, no content |
| web.archive.org captures of byrdfeed.co.uk | The original Byrdfeed, captures spanning 2010 to 2017 |
The practical reading order follows from the table. The archived Byrdfeed shows what the artist's own site said in its own era; this site carries the sourced, current reference layer; and dannybyrd.com carries nothing at all. For the artist's present-day activity, the sourced record notes that Danny Byrd signed with Ministry of Sound in October 2021, per the Wikipedia article on Danny Byrd, and his releases continue to be documented here as they enter the checked record.
How this page treats the word Byrdfeed
Byrdfeed, on this site, always means the original 2010s website when the history is being discussed, and the address byrdfeed.co.uk when the present is. The 2 meanings never blur: the original Byrdfeed was official and is gone; the current occupant of the address is independent and live. Keeping that line sharp is the whole reason this page exists, so that a reader arriving from a Wikipedia external link, a Wikidata P856 lookup or an old bookmark knows within 1 paragraph exactly which of the 2 they have reached.
