Ooh shit - this christmas looms a little more desperate than usual in the Kulkarni household . . . . my children . . how will they eat?

I mean, seriously, how?

‘Dance music with its leftfield niches seems to be reinventing itself with gusto, I have never seen such a healthy worldwide scene,’ said Dave, ‘So to possibly lose this magazine says more about how dance music has been managed by the soul boy mafia.’

I guess I can always go back to the circus but I suspect I'm too bulky to go back on the Wall of Death anymore: still, growing tits and a beard shouldn't be a problem (it certainly hasn't been for the last two decades).

Ullo Ned!

Really do hope they find a buyer - they've never really fucked with copy as far as I'm aware, the people running it are cool and lovely and writing a page about hip-hop every fortnight has always been the gig of my dreams.

Anyone know any benevolent billionairres with a few mil to burn?

I heard on the grapevine they had fifteen potential buyers, was that just bragging?

Seems odd.

A shame I guess but at a time when dance music is popular again surely all ver middle class kids who have gotten back into dance music post-electro would buy the dance mag that actually mentions DRUGS ie Mixmag.

i'm sure i read - probably on test industries - that the mag's possible demise has been over-stated.

DJ Mag is good and Neil's reviews are easily one of the best things in it. I really hope it doesn't go - where else can you read 200+ capsule reviews every fortnight?

They haven't capitalized on this breadth of coverage enough IMO - they should at least put the reviews on the website after a month or so. Also, distribution at the moment is shocking! I used to buy it in Sainsburys but you can't even get it in WH Smiths now.

Dance music has been on a downturn for years, so it is no surprise that dance-oriented mags are struggling with sales now.

Hopefully, Mixmag and King Size will both be defunct in 10 years too :)

you might be dead by then

King Size - has been gone for years, it was a EMAP magazine that covered nu metal and rap in 2001
