Times Are Changing
Remix, the popular American music publication, is not going to be printing a monthly magazine anymore. Instead they will print a quarterly publication for the Remix hotels and focus on their website. That means my last “digital dj” column should print exactly 3 years after the original article first hit news stands. In that time we have seen digital djing go from fringe to mainstream as the column went from unknown to respected.
In January we had planned to give “the digital dj column” a birthday celebration so it is with some sadness that I will instead put it to rest. Remix will continue in some capacity online but we have lost what really was a damn good magazine. The articles, reviews and tutorials were always well written, on point and helpful. Remix was a hi class mag and it will be missed just as much as I will miss the opportunity to write for it.
Saudade aside, these are great times and Dj TechTools has picked up where the column left off providing information that would have never been possible in a print mag. Without lighting fast publishing times, real community interaction and embedded multimedia content there is no other way we could have kept up with the pace of a web 2.0 world. In memory of the column which actually birthed Dj TechTools, lets take a quick walk down memory lane and explain how we got here in the first place.
