IDJ Magazine Front Cover 1

This is the first cover that I analysed for IDJ Magazine

International DJ magazine (IDJ)

Very similar in music and style to DJM, International DJ Magazine, or IDJ Magazine, also focuses on Dance, Trance and Electronica, although i could not find any references to Drum & Bass within the magazine, nor any information on it's history online.

DJ Magazine

DJ magazine, or DJM, as it is frequently called, focuses primarily on all types of synthetic music, in particular Dance, Electronica and Trance, and also has small articles dedicated to larger Drum & Bass acts such as Andy C. These genres are not so different from Drum & Bass, as they also rely on DJ instruments, and features artists such as Daft Punk and David Guetta.
The magazine is a lot more specialist than XXL, as it features articles on new DJ decs to buy, suggesting it benefits professional DJs. The magazine was created in 1991 by the editor Ben Murphy, and is released monthly. The magazine has been going for nearly 20 years, so it is fairly established, with copies being translated into Chines, Italian, and even Ukrainian, and calls itself "the worlds largest selling Dance music magazine."
