Mixmag

Mixmag is a monthly dance music magazine that can currently be found for a price of £4.20. Over the years I've noticed that the price of the magazine has been steadily rising, it's still quite good value however I feel as every month a compilation CD is included and the magazine itself contains over 150 pages. According to the front of the magazine Mixmag is 'The World's Biggest Dance Music and Clubbing Magazine'; I fail to think of any similarly large dance music magazine so I'll take their word for that. What I like most about Mixmag is the fact that every month a directory is included of all the dance club nights around the country for the coming month. ...  Read the complete review

This is a magazine centred around dance music. I used to buy it as a DJ, but it's really for anyone into the scene. The main rival for this mag is DJ, which is a bit better in my opinion, but that doesn't make this a bad magazine. There are lots of features. Lists and details of club nights are a must for those looking to get out, and the photos that accompany these are also a bit of a laugh. There are articles and interviews with those involved in the industry, and these are very well written. There are also music reviews. Now, this is the bit I am not so sure about. Ten years ago, when I was DJing then yeah, I read them, but not today. ...  Read the complete review

Mixmag is aimed more at the club junkie than the amateur DJ, but nonetheless caters for the UK dance scene better than any other magazine. The primary focus of Mixmag is the music and the people behind it. The writers have a particular knack for pinning down the next big thing in dance music. In particular they plucked out the (inexplicably) popular 'You See The Trouble With Me' by Black Legend months before it became UK singles chart no. 1 last year, and have since picked out such hugely popular club tracks as DJ Zinc's '138 Trek' and Hatiras' might 'Spaced Invader'. Many top DJs have columns in this magazine, notably Pete Tong and Judge Jules, giving extra ...  Read the complete review

Why is everything about clubbing, dance music and dj’s so damn expensive I ask myself as I am handing over £3.85 (yes you heard that right) for the latest edition of MixMag magazine. Ok, I hear you mutter back, “don’t buy it then”, however, for anyone with a keen interest in dance music, the club scene and where the hots nights are to be had, then it is a pretty essential guide. MixMag has been going for years now, I started reading it back in 1995 and it was pretty well established then, although not half as expensive, it was less than £2 if I remember rightly, yes I am getting old! I guess the all important question is, what do you get ...  Read the complete review

Mixmag is a monthly clubbing magazine that comes out on the third Thursday in the month. It is a magazine for clubbers about clubbing and if you're not into dance music then you may find it a litle boring. The magazine is divided into six basic sections. The first you come to when you open the glossy cover is the tranzmiter section. This section covers what's happening in clubland and is made up of lots of little news stories. This section also includes Pete Tong's column where he gives inside info on what's going to be big and his top tunes of the moment. The next section is the features section where they have lengthier articles on such ...  Read the complete review
