Bigger, beefier & better! Well, here it is — the first monthly DJmag! And what a way to start this exciting new era in DJmag’s history as the world’s favourite dance music magazine. This is the first in our bumper coffee-table issues and our statement of intent for editions to come. This issue we get our teeth stuck into the art of the remix, rating the Top 50 Remixers of All-Time and remembering the tunes they made their own. It’s a fascinating read that spans four decades! And we’re also looking forward as key players predict what the future holds for record labels, as the sands continue to shift on this part of the music industry landscape. With more in-depth features, insightful articles and meatier stories than ever before, don’t forget to pick up DJmag on the last Wednesday of every month from now on. Or better still, check out our great subscriptions offer on page 116 and have DJmag delivered to your door while saving money! And don’t forget to make a visit to djmag.com as part of your daily routine, where you’ll find up-to-the-minute news, record and technology reviews, music downloads, club listings and a whole lot more. Delve in!
