Mixmag

When it launched in 1982, Mixmag created the dance music magazine market. It is the market leader and has maintained its reputation as the most influential title in the dance sector. It created the words "superclub" and "trip hop", released the first legal DJ mix tapes and CDs and is the most trusted voice in dance music. Mixmag was acquired by independent publishers Development Hell Ltd in December 2005 and re-launched in April 2006. Over the past six years the UK dance scene has grown up and become more aspirational, reconnecting with its roots in glamour and the underground. The relaunch of Mixmag reflects this with better production values, glossier paper and the return of a perfect bound spine. The Burberry caps, downmarket "mates in a state" pictures and wall-to-wall drugs features are gone. In comes stylish, grown-up writing from some of Britain's best music writers, a commitment to exciting new music - from electronica to house to urban and beyond - visually stunning directional fashion and the world's greatest guide to planning your best nights out in the UK and elsewhere. Today's clubbers are more sophisticated, more broadminded and - let's face it - sexier than the days of the mega clubs and mass marketing. Mixmag is their magazine, reflecting their more cultured, more elitist but no less hedonistic approach to a good night out. Mixmag will continue to come with its world-famous series of free cover CD's mixed by the best DJ's in the world. Mixmag has a certified circulation of 37,139 and a readership of 276,000. Mixmag continues to be the only audited dance/clubbing magazine in the UK, and the biggest selling in the world.
