''Mixmag'' is a British electronic dance and clubbing magazine, published in London, England. Launched in 1982, the magazine covers dance events, and reviews music and club nights. ==History== The first issue was printed on 1 February 1983 as a 16-page black-and-white magazine published by Disco Mix Club, a DJ mailout service. The first cover featured American music group Shalamar, the first editor was Tony Prince and the first advertiser was Technics Panasonic. When house music began, editor and DJ Dave Seaman turned the magazine from a newsletter for DJs to a magazine covering all dance music and club culture. It covered acid house, the subsequent rave era, the rise of superstar DJs and Ibiza. ''Mixmag'', in association with its original publishing company, DMC Publishing, released a series of CDs under the "Mixmag Live" heading. The magazine, which reached a circulation of up to 70,000 copies during the height of the popularity of acid house, was later sold to EMAP Ltd. in the mid-1990s, and then bought by Development Hell, the company that also owned ''The Word'' music magazine, in 2005. Development Hell relaunched the magazine in May 2006 with a revamped design. Editor Andrew Harrison told the ''Press Gazette'' that staff had previously "focused the magazine very tightly on a young clubber, a very committed hardcore nutter clubber and we thought that wasn't necessarily the right way to go. This idea that dance music is a kind of minority interest, a bit like ska, is wrong." In 2007, Nick DeCosemo became editor.〔 In 2001, the magazine teamed up with Virgin Records to release a double album titled ''B!g Tunes''. The album included forty-two dance songs selected "the best" by the magazine. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mixmag」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
