Yeah, and if you consider how much it costs to print up a magazine (like tens of thousands depending on quantity) and the limited ad budgets IDM labels have to throw at a mag like Grooves, two fifty is pretty reasonable. I haven't seen a copy yet, but any mag that makes IDM its bread and butter is not on a profiteering path for sure. From what I understand, all the electronic music mags that don't feature lots of hip-hop are really hurting right now. I'm sure it's a labor of love for those guys... darren daniel wrote: > wake up on the wrong side of the turntable? > > without magazines like grooves (and e.x.p), the electronic music we listen > to would not get exposure (especially in the states).
