 Laatst haalde ik het al aan toen DJ Mag ineens met een "eigen" (affiliate van Beatport) mp3 shop kwam, het einde van de samenwerking tussen DJ Mag en DJ Download. Toen ik het nieuwe logo van DJ Download zag ging er ineens een lampje branden, het nieuwe logo leek namelijk niet meer zoals eerst op dat van DJ Mag maar had een eigen gezicht gekregen.

Er was echter niemand die kon bevestigen dat de beide partijen uit elkaar waren, dat is echter in onderstaand pers berich wel duidelijk geworden, DJ Download is namelijk met een concurent van DJ Mag in zee gegaan, en die heten International DJ.

iDJ Magazine Partnership
Effective immediately, djdownload.com and International DJ Magazine would like to announce a partnership that will keep both companies at the leading edge of the dance music industry and ensure that our customers have access to the best digital music, industry news, music reviews and charts.

Wherever music mentioned in the magazine can be related to content on the site, the relationship will be indicated by the iconic djdownload.com yellow arrow and readers will be able to use the site and magazine hand in hand to identify and buy the best dance music available.

Leading dance music magazine iDJ has the largest music reviews section of any current dance mag in the world today, with over 450 singles and albums reviewed in every issue. By linking up with djdownload.com, iDJ can now offer its readers a complete guide to finding, and ultimately, buying the best new dance music.

“We are very excited to be partnering with iDJ and will be taking the print and digital integration to unprecedented levels. The idea is to make it as easy as possible for our customers to identify the tracks, labels and artists that interest them by using the magazine, then be able to listen to the two minute samples on djdownload.com and decide what to buy. Digital music and the technology that supports it is giving DJs the opportunity to explore their creativity like never before but with so much music now on offer, we need to work hard to help our customers identify what they want. We need to be the guy in the record shop that pulls out 20 tracks for you to check out – our partnership with iDJ is gearing us up to do just that” says Guy Osborne from djdownload.com

“This is an important development for iDJ and its readers, as the thousands of people who use the magazine to decide what music to buy can now take the extra step of buying the music we review there and then,” says director Adam Portingale.
