Cross-promotion corner: THE WORD's sister title MIXMAG is 25 years old this week
Posted by Andrew Harrison on 17 April 2008 - 10:48am.
Happy birthday to MIXMAG, the Raver's Digest, which celebrates its Silver Jubilee this week. You might think THE WORD doesn't have all that much in common with esteemed dance music journal MIXMAG, but they're both magazines for passionate and clued-up readers who don't require mainstream endorsement of the things they love. MIXMAG is thriving here at Development Hell and we know of at least one person who subscribes to both our magazines (anyone else want to out themselves as a member of that elite group?)
Many happy returns to MIXMAG from us next door, and will you please turn that minimal trance down? Thanks.
Here's a "galaxy" of stars in the birthday issue of MIXMAG, via ITN:

Then it's time to update the Development Hell webpage....
A quick browse shows "Neil Young" and "Daft Punk" on the respective latest issue covers.
So little time and so much to do. Or is it the other way round?
Excuses, excuses
Perhaps unbelievably, we don't currently have access to that site to update it. Reclaiming it is on the to-do list.
The other way round would be great.
"Daft Punk: our new folk direction" and "Neil Young ramraids the Gatecrasher Sound System PLUS free boshin' Roger Waters CD"
As someone who works on both titles, these are the scenarios that haunt my dreams.
The Richard Thompson fans
are a bit slow off the mark shoehorning him into this thread. Thought I'd beat 'em to it.
Never read a word of Mixmag and never will, but it's nice to know it's alive and well.
And after six hours of school . . .
I'm not mad on the Beach Boys
but that proves that dance music is any music you can dance to. Rave on, Brian Wilson…
Not a subscriber
But a buyer of both.
Yes, yes, thanks for the support !
If we ever merge the mags, like Whizzer & Chips
it's good to know that MixWord* will have at least one regular reader.
* strapline: Intelligent Life on Planet Mental
You certainly will
Editor in Chief.
Or maybe then you will be Commander Editor.
In a paradoxical masthead scenario
I would be both my own boss and my own employee, meaning that "reporting lines" would resemble a Moebius Strip.
Nice one, sorted, top one etc!
A contributor to both! Happy birthday all at Mixmag!
I've taken the well worn path
from Mixmag to The Word.
The two complement each other like
finest indian hashish and scotch whisky. Both have been a joy to be involved with, and an inspiration to lots of music lovers I know.
I believe the correct thing to say in celebration of Mixmag, in the current parlance, is something along the lines of "BRAP!"
Top Marks
For this months CD which I got around to putting on this morning. Over achivers this month I think.
