bigsteve Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Does anyone else still buy it :?: I keep saying I'll cancel my subs, but occassionally there is a good CD, and I suppose it does make good toilet reading. However, last month they printed a double page spread of GKGG back to front and listed Escape into the Park as 28/5/05. Then in this month's letter's page, they slag one guy off for his comments about Tribal Gathering, but give the SAME letter the 'Star Letter' prize :? :? :?: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirddrive Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 They are a bit random. Essentially, what they think is what goes, but you can say that about any magazine out there. I only buy it for something to read on a plane journey or occasionally when there's a good CD - I bought the PVD one recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Mixmag used to print their own Jules tracklistings in 1998 for both his Friday and Saturday shows... if only I could find someone who has them back that far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsteve Posted June 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 They used to do the EMix listings as well, but I guess tinternet has taken over now. That's half the problem with Mixmag, its always out of date now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberduck Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I bit the bullet and got rid of all my mixmags. They were collecting dust behind my bed and if honest I was unlikely to read any of them again. Id buy it if there was a good CD but I reckon its gone down the pan. The vast majority of the magazine is taken up by adverts and the articles arent as good as they used to be. It was at a stage once of being a bit of a dodgy mag and printing stories about DJ's etc that were complete bollocks. They slagged seb fontaine of to buggery claming he was as fat as a whale and he was a crap DJ then a few months after are rating him as the best thing since sliced bread. I read an interview with seb where he opnly states that they are w***er*s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsteve Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I used to Buy Ministry until it stopped being printed. Then went on to Mixmag. Would it be better if it was in a weekly format? It could be more up-to-date and relevant. They wouldn't need to fill it with crap articles either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsteve Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Haven't seen it in ages. But then again, it can be hard to find Mixmag in the shops these days. 7 used to do the Emix listings too.

Dewi Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Theres still the little update leflets around, saw them in a record shop the other day, they print tongys tracklistings and club / buzz charts & some interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberduck Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 In my opinion the best dance mag ever is M8. Its meant to be scottish but you used to be able to buy it from most decent newsagents. I havent seen it for a year or two so perhaps its also become no more. They used to have top reviews on dance events, a wicked tunes riview section and some ace free CD's. Ive got a simon foy CD from one issue, which is feckin ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Patzelt Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Mixmag used to print their own Jules tracklistings in 1998 for both his Friday and Saturday shows... if only I could find someone who has them back that far Suprisingly the best place to find old mixags and other mags is charity shops and theyre dead cheap too. Or car boot sales sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuro Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 got any mixmags from 1997-1998 matey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Patzelt Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I did have i have thrown them all out but i have subscribed to mixmag over the last year. Traill if your really after the mags try these. 1) Charity shops - you may have to look around but ive been to my local oxfam here in Norwich and recently saw a pile of them! 2) Car boot sales - as its now summer more and more of these are starting these are also great for finding some awesome rare dance cds. 3) Music shops - there are some 2nd habd record shops that actually sell old copies of magazines but be prepared to pay a couple of quid.
