And one brand is at the centre of it all. Mixmag, the world’s biggest dance music and clubbing magazine, the market leading publication, the biggest and most vital online presence and the force behind events from club tours and huge

parties in Las Vegas, Amsterdam and Ibiza to word-of-mouth events in East London, is the bible of the new dance music explosion. The world’s biggest brands know it. That’s why Armani teamed up with us this year for a six month cross media campaign, It’s why Smirnoff teamed up with us to launch their amazing Sensation parties at the O2. It’s why Disney asked us to get involved with their Tron Legacy R3configur3d soundtrack launch

and it’s why Calvin Klein asked us to run a fashion shoot for them with hot young DJs and artists. With a burgeoning facebook presence, a brand new website, a dedicated events facility and the best magazine about dance music and clubbing for nigh on 30 years, Mixmag has the history, the authority and the creativity to give the right brands an authentic association with dance music and club culture.

reader profile

Mixmag readers are the opinion formers and leaders in clubbing. They are the ones who make the happening music happen and the cool products cool within their peer group.

They are the first to recommend a new tune and the first on a new fashion trend. They’re at that new cool club very early and they move on before it starts to go cold .

Our demographic spans across young budding bedroom DJs through to accomplished producers.They’re the best informed about top DJs and upcoming tunes, and they just have to have the latest mobile (even if their current one is less than six months old). They’re the biggest downloaders of music in the UK.

The median age of a Mixmag reader is 24 – 72% male, 28% female – and they tend to be urban and single.

They have a high disposable income and a high propensity to spend it on:nights outclothestunesthe latest mobile and mp3 player

Nearly 80% do not read another music magazine and they spend little time watching TV, especially at weekends.
