Top 100 MixMag 2008
La generatii noi se impun stiluri noi, iar genurile muzicii electronice par a depasi granitele la fiecare 5 minute, se incearca combinatii intre sunete, consumatorii de muzica electronica fiind "deschisi" la orice noua provocare. In vara acestui an, in cadrul festivalurilor de gen, au fost lansate cateva productii care au contat, pacat insa de vreme.
A fost un an de zbatere permanenta: Ibiza si-a mai piedut din identitate, cateva din cele mai apreciate cluburi din lume au disparut pur si simplu, altele au aparut in circuitul dance, iar tensiunea dintre autoritati si iubitorii de muzica electronica a atins cote inimaginabile (cazul DC10). Nu o sa poti asculta aceste piese intr-un online casino probabil, nici parintii tai nu le asculta… Dar aceste piese sunt cele mai fierbinti ale anului deci nu ar trebui sa ramai surprins daca o sa le auzi difuzate in orice alta locatie.
Tot in anul 2008, revista MixMag a implinit 25 de ani de la aparitia primului numar. Este considerata a fi prima, cea mai mare, si, sa fim sinceri, cea mai buna publicatie dance/clubbing din lume.
