Opening New Electronic Music Insider Magazine...Need Help and Writers!

Hello fellow TA's.

For several years I have become very familiar with web design and graphic design and I have been busy lately currently planning out ideas for a new online eletronic music magazine. It seems like something the world needs right now due to the fact that there are none that I have come across. I have searched all over the place for one definitive magazine but there is none.

My plan is to create all genres of electronica music
and throw it onto one site where electronica music fans can find news about what's happening in their favorite genre (i.e. Trance, Drum n' Bass, Techno, Garage etc..)
The thing is...even though I'm pretty well with design, I'm going to need writers for the site that would help me put together the information for each genre.
I may post forums for each genre too, but I have a feeling you TA's won't like that due to the fact you all are already home to this place like I am.

But maybe it's a dumb idea and none of you think we should do it...but if you're interested in getting in on this site, I'm trying to make it as large as possible, and I want it to be informative and rather truthful as far as news sources go. I'm getting a new computer tomorrow and I'm getting new software with it, so I'm really hoping some of you people believe it's a good idea. There needs to be a definitive eletronic music magazine, and if we can expand it to grow further than the internet. It would be cool to get a subscription service going.

So respond to this post or email me at [email protected] if you have any comments at all on this...I hope this is a good idea, because electronica is on the rise and something like this is needed.
Thanks!

Cool!

So what should we name the netzine? Think of a good one.
I was thinkin like EMM (Electronic Music Magazine) but I know we could think of something more creative than that!

Keep up the response I'm going to need some help if any of you know shockwave that would be cool. Thanks!

My Name

Alright... I think I'm gonna call it Electronica Culture Magazine.
the website will be www.electronicaculture.com

So if any of the graphics helpers would like to make banners for ECM, go ahead so I can choose one I like. I notice alot of you TA's can do photoshop stuff alot better than I can so go ahead and knock yourselves out making graphics. I'll choose the one I like best that will go on the site. Thanks for all your help and support everyone, i'll make sure everyone who wants to contribute will get in on it.
