Hey all, I just joined the list recently (this is my first post) and am really glad to be on it! Its super active and everyone is really enthusiastic - feels like a good community - nice to see.
I have to say that I purchase Xlr8r and Grooves, sometimes Urb and I'm not a super young clubber anymore. I also have a number of friends my age who buy them on a regular basis. We're all Canadians - don't know if that makes a difference! So there is definitely still a market out there for those mags with those of us who have been in the scene for awhile, plus I'm making the music not only dancing to it. So, I find them good for gear news, updates on cool stuff coming out in design etc. Whereas Mojo and Uncut I don't really bother with - go figure - I guess I'm the market anomaly! Anyway, glad to finally post :) Berg -----Original Message----- From: Robert Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 3, 2003 12:18 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Tom Churchill Cc: 313; Cyclone Wehner Subject: RE: (313) Muzik (was 7 Magazine) I think the net and lists like this one have taken over as the source for information on dance music. The mags did not realise this and thought they had to include more and more "lifestyle" articles at the expense of record reviews and their sales slumped even further, hence the crisis. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 03, 2003 3:15 PM To: Tom Churchill Cc: 313; Cyclone Wehner Subject: Re: (313) Muzik (was 7 Magazine) "In contrast, rock titles, such as New Musical Express and Kerrang!, and magazines aimed at older music fans, such as Mojo and Uncut, have enjoyed circulation increases." I think there is your answer. The clubbers are growing up and are getting tired of the same old dance music - or at least the way it's presented. I wonder how XLR8R, URB, and other US mags are doing? There still seems to be a lot of kids still learning and listening to dance music in the US as opposed to the UK? correct me if I'm wrong please.
