I have both the first 2 issues, as they were good value at only 95p,
though some of the articles were pretty trashy (one about DJ
"groupies" in ish 1 springs to mind. A bit of humour here and there,
especially a spoof scoop photo of Maurizio, but dreadful puns used on
all photographs, and don't expect its coverage to be centred anywhere
other than clubbing, though with possibly a wider spread than
DJ/Mixmag. Next issue has a R&S tape to soften the blow of the price
going up to 2 quid or so.
Personally I think Jockey Slut is doing a better job of covering the
more "underground" techno and idm side of things, and I've only read
3 issues of that. They are probably the best overall at the moment
for me. Even Generator has got a bit mainstream of late.
I also picked up a copy of M8, the first time its been widely
available outside boonie Scotland. I probably won't bother again as
its 90% happy hardcore/raving/etc, but it contains the first article
I've seen in a UK mag about Sahko, which was a nice surprise.
