History
The first issue of the magazine was released on February 1, 1983. It was a 16-page black and white magazine published by Disco Mix Club (or DMC for short), a specialized service for DJs. On the cover of the first issue was the American group Shalamar, the first editor of the magazine was the owner of DMC, Tony Prince, and the first advertiser was Panasonic .
With the growing popularity of house music in the UK, the magazine stopped focusing exclusively on DJs and began to review everything related to dance music and club culture. Mixmag wrote about the growing popularity of acid house, the emergence of the so-called "super DJs" and Ibiza . The magazine put into circulation such terms as “super clubs”, “ trip-hop ” and “ progressive house ” and launched the first legal series of DJ mixes - it was the series “Mixmag Live!”, The first issues of which were released on audio cassettes Subsequently, these mixes were reprinted, with the full support of DMC Publishing, on CDs under the common name Mixmag Live!
In the wake of the popularity of club culture, Mixmag reached a monthly circulation of 70,000 copies, and in the late nineties, the publication was sold to a large publishing holding EMAP Ltd. In 2005, the magazine was again sold - this time to Development Hell Ltd., which also owns The Word music magazine. In 2006, the owner company restarted Mixmag, both in terms of design and in terms of internal content.
In 2009, a regional version of Mixmag was launched in Brazil. This publication is the official media partner of Creamfields Brazil (2011) and Armin Van Buuren 's Brazilian Carnival Tour. The Brazilian version of Mixmag comes out every two months, and includes both materials from the English edition and its own edition.
In 2009, Ebury Press published the English book Superstar DJ's Here We Go! By the former editor-in-chief of Mixmag magazine, House Phillips, who worked in the magazine from 1991 to January 1999 [2] . In it, he described not only the development of the UK club scene, but also the evolution of Mixmag magazine. In 2012, under the title “ Super DJs: Triumph, Extremeness and Emptiness ”, the book was published in Russian by the White Apple Publishing House.
Since January 2016, Mixmag Russia, the official representative of the British magazine, exists in the form of a website in Russia.
