what is the best electronic music magazine, or what is your favorite? ive been meaning to get a subscription to DJ Mag, but after hearing about the new owners not caring about the quality all year and just focusing on the poll im starting to look at other mags.
anyone heard of slices? i only read one issue but it was excellent but they only cover the techno-ish side of edm.

I got a free slices DVD when I ordered a record from Germany. It had 20 minute interviews with both Funk D'Void and Booka Shade. Going on this, slices would be good.
I always buy Mixmag, but I wouldn't particularly recommend it. The quality of journalism isn't brilliant, as they're prone to self-revisionism, factual mistakes and hyping shit all out of proportion so they have something to sell magazines on.
I mainly buy it because they cover all the major electronic scenes, so I can keep up with what's happening across the board. They also review records you might not otherwise have heard of. The journalism isn't good, but at least it's comprehensive.
They're all bad as far as I'm concerned. If I want good reading to go along with what I listen to I'll pick up Scientific American or something.

I used to buy DJmag and mixmag habitually on my lunchbreak. Neither are bad as long as you don't listen to their opinions, and just make your own mind up on the music you listen to. I bought IDJ for the first time ever the other day and it has MUCH more music than djmag and mixmag review, though.

Muzik was that last one I gave much heed. Shame about their demise at issue 99.
