In April’s Mixmag, out now, our cover CD is arguably our best in some time; Disco Balearica mixed by Aeroplane.
Don't just take out word for it - everyone on the blogs and Twitter are going mad about it. And so they should, it opens with a brand new tune from Mylo's album that only we and Mylo have. It's also got tracks from Friendly Fires, Sebastien Tellier, ZZZ, The Shortwave Set, Appaloosa, Pet Shop Boys, Grum, Poni Hoax and more. It's the soundtrack to your spring.
Inside the mag we have the highest profile face to ever grace our cover, a man who redefined hip hop - P Diddy. He and Felix da Housecat lay down their battle plans for Miami and how electro-hip hop-soul-funk is 'the new black'.
But that's just the start; we have exclusive interviews with Empire of the Sun, Royksopp, Fever Ray and Dixon, we find out why Gui Boratto bought a grand piano for a four year old and we introduce you to Thunderheist, Appaloosa, Robert Dietz, Blackbelt Anderson, Crystal Fighters, So Me, Poni Hoax, Pitto and Roska.
Elsewhere in the mag we find out how DJs are being turned into pieces of art, we question what else is good when you add dance music to it and we try a spirit made of coca leaf.
In our special Miami section we give you all the info you need if you're heading over and all the arguments against it if you're not. We give you a range of WMC alternatives, discover the tunes that owe their lives to the city and we reveal our new game 'Where's Wally (Lopez)?'
Also in our features section we reveal 13 new clubs opening in the UK this year and we look at the history dance musicians have with covering their faces.
Elsewhere we ask the questions Paxman is afraid to, such as 'Can man live on Ministry of Sound products alone?' as well as 'Is the album dying?'. We stage a shuffle war between Carl Cox and Serge Santiago plus we also review Fuse in Oxford, Ketoloco in Leeds, Audio in Brighton plus live gigs from Simian Mobile Disco, Filthy Dukes and The Japanese Popstars.
All this is packed in with all the usual features including the best five nights this month, tune reviews, tour news, Duncan Dick's consistently on-point 'The Morning After' column, all the big album reviews, game and DVD reviews, DJ charts and UK and Euro club listings, plus your letters, the best clubbing Youtubes, the dancefloor dictionary and 14 pages of fashion. Oh and Sex Panther.
