DJ MAG vs. MIXMAG?
I have been wanting to subscribe to one of these magazones but I don't know which ones is better.... which one would u guys recommend? and please state your reasons why...thanx
neither
they are both pathetic
they used to be solid places for interviews and reviews but now they are just pathetic sellouts. Mixmag is nearly a tabloid at times and DJ Mag's pathetic progressive house is the future article hacked me off from years back. They interviewed deejays slamming trance but all the deejays got big playing trance, so it was kinda of dodgy. If I honestly had to pick, I'd go with Mixmag, just because I like their CDs more.
Mixmag.... Some of those albums are worth more then the magazine!!

as andy said they are both pretty wank.
Mixmag is full of shit, although it can be amusing and they do have some mint cd's
dj on the other hand is prog elitism at its worst. really fucks me off at times the stance they take in there. but i still buy it for the equipment reviews and the record reviews.

Neither...they are both shit
Mixmag is balls
tacky, cheesy, and jumps on every bandwagon going- claiming 'they discovered' x person/drug/ club/night etc etc
Very pro drugs too to the point where they might as well have double page ads saying 'Take ketamine', and to be honest, not very well written and thin on content.
The cds are a bonus yes but thats all its worth buying for.
Shame as it used to be good many moons ago
Get iDJ instead
mixmag is utter dogshit but if you like the Daily Star then you'll prolly like it.
dj mag is much more serious but there is very little trance content... nothing i'm complaning about given the shiteness of trance atm.
Does MixMag bring a free CD every month? or how often?
How about DJMag?
Mixmag, because of the monthly high-grade mixes 
ive been reading mixmag off an on for the last 2 years, and i can say it has definatly gone downhill.
thats not to say its not entertaining, but dont take it seriously.
they have news, but i guess nothing much you cant found out frequenting the TA forums.
the cds are nice sometimes, but most of the time they just go on my shelf, i dont even bother to listen.
i think their "drug issue" should be out soon, with the self proclaimed "worlds largest drug survey"
PS - i didnt like DJ Mag, it was too serious
I bought the last 12 months 3 times a Mixmag for the cd's of Paul van Dyk, Armin and Carl Cox (the cd of Cox is wicked shit btw) and I used the Mixmag as toiletpaper, what a bad mag.
I buy the odd mixmag but they jump on every bandwagon claiming they were first to do this or first to coin this expression. DJ Mag has some good articles but they have lost focus now. I don't know which one to read anymore because they have both sunk to such a new low. Mixmag is the higher selling magazine but DJ Mag has Terry Church who writes smart articles. Personally I'd just grab my news from a bunch of different sites and buy the odd dj mag and mixmag.

BTW I subscribe ot remix Mag as well. This has some quality articles. Should check it out.
Sometimes Mixmag writes more about drugs than it does music...
they both are kinda lame....but Mixmag always makes me fuckin laugh, specially when im high The Carl Cox "Sound of Ibiza" mix was fuckin MINT!!!
Mixmag makes me laugh sometimes, and usually its CDs aren't bad.
So overall I'd say it, I don't like DJ much. Last time I read it I seem to remember about 5 or 6 pages of house reviews and 1 page for every other genre, biased?
If IDJ was a third option I'd maybe vote it... it also seems to focus on house a bit too much, but I find it a nicer read than DJ, and better equipment reviews.
of course they need to have ads tho, they need to fund the magazine somehow 
how often are CDs included in these magazines? does every moth's magazine bring a CD?
You gotta laugh at DJ Mag, every year Trance DJ's win hands down in their poll yet you still get 5 house review pages to 1 for prog and 1 for trance. Then have a look at their 'club' chart and see the wank in there!!! It's still a must buy for me though because it covers all the bases at least and I like to keep an open mind.
