Ahead of a packed out summer that will see DJmag once again hit Ibiza with their own Balearic edition, some very interesting plans for DJmag parties around the UK and afar, plus several visits to some of the coolest festivals on offer on 2010, it seems the perfect time to launch our very own dedicated blog.

Check back regularly for updates, party plans, Ibiza tales, news pieces, reviews and anything else we deem of interest as the summer gets into full swing…

With our very own website receiving constant updates in the features, news, tech reviews, competitions, and clubbing sections, alongside much more, we’ll tip you off when new info hits the pages and you can procrastinate through your workdays freely.

To get us started, Issue 485, the mag’s Festival Edition hits shelves TODAY! And is rammed full of everything you need to know about the biggest festivals of Summer 2010 both in the UK and abroad. If you had any deliberations about where to find your favourite artists, most up for it fellow ravers and the more upbeat, chilled out or bizarre party vibes look no further...

Also this month you'll find features on our cover artist Redlight (formerly Clipz), as well as Glimpse, Paul Woolford, Noisia and Laidback Luke, a rundown of our tips for making it in the production field, a lengthy recollection of the mag's antics in Miami, plus all the latest news, reviews and previews in the clubbing, music and tech worlds alongside a whole load more...

Also, this issue sees Dutch House duo Mason get called in for a 2 page interview and cover mount CD duty thus adding extra bulk to your music collections! Not bad at all then...
