The Mixmag 25th birthday cover shoot

[patrick]

I really like Moloko/Roisin Murphy so that's that! I don't really care if she wouldn't be included on this list, as she doesn't really fit, grouping anyone with UW is a sham!

[//\/\/]

over the past year or so, mixmag has got back to something like its old form as far as the writing's concerned - it's got its attention-span back after it's early-millenium wobble and trance-fixation. i was never a fan of muzik - it was too quick to jump on a bandwaggon imo - or if there was nothing going on it was always trying to create The Next Big Thing (taking its lead from melody maker...)

mixmag isn't what it was; but then again; nor is 'the scene'...

[jOHN rODRIGUEZ]

WTF.

New Order?
D.Summer?

[viddy]

More importantly, where's Rick?

[gillenium]

No Chemical Brothers either.

and no Rick Smith!

This shoot is stupid.

yep its artists from the last 25 years of mixmag....

Kraftwerk were before that, and also don't do these sort of things either....

i also think it includes people that are still relevant now to some degree - hence no orbital, leftfield and ppl like that...

that line up probably includes some people that are second choices, they needed to fill a quota and some people there certainly are filler

Karl is always good for a soundbite, and was and still is relevant, and Mixmag have been good to and fans of Underworld for years...

Depeche Mode - no they shouldn't be there - mainly because they are not specifically a Dance / Electronic act... they haven't really shaped dance music, Dance music has shaped them
