How do I get my club reviewed in Mixmag?
Mixmag only review three clubs a month and is inundated with clubs asking for reviews. Nights need to have an interesting story behind them and make an interesting read. Simply booking big name DJs does not make you a good club to read about. Email your club review requests to our clubs editor at craig@mixmag.net

How do I get my artists in a feature/’Hello my name is…’ page/’Keep an eye on’ page?
We have monthly meetings to decide which artists go into which mag. Email what kind of music the artist makes, what they have coming up in the next two months, why they are hot, why they’re better than others in their genre, why we’d be stupid to ignore them and anything else we must know about them as well as a link to their music/myspace to nick@mixmag.net AND ralph@mixmag.net including. If we like them we’ll contact you for pics.
How do I get a competition in the magazine?
Our comps in the mag are only for holidays or kit worth over £1000. If this is what you are offering contact nick@mixmag.net. If not you might have more luck getting a comp online. See below.
How do I get a competition online?
Comps online need to run exclusively for mixmag.net users and cannot be part of a bigger comp across a range of websites or mags. Prizes need to create a buzz so signed CDs, merchandise or guestlist places are not enough to get a comp. Comps must be up for over a week. If you fit this bill contact sean@mixmag.net or seb@mixmag.net.
How do I get a new story online?
Send it to seb@mixmag.net or sean@mixmag.net.
I’ve written an article/interview. Will you print it?
We don’t print article we are sent out of the blue. We commission pieces specifically each month to set briefs. If you have ideas for features pitch them to duncan@mixmag.net saying how you’d write it etc.
How do I get work experience?
Due to the high demand we offer fortnight-long, unpaid work experience to journalism students only. You must have a proven interest in the magazine and dance music/clubbing. The waiting list currently runs into winter 2010. If all the above applies to you email sean@mixmag.net confirming the above.
When is Mixmag out?
The third Thursday of every month
