Time out! Chris has mistakenly suggested (amongst other things) that this said magazine is new. I think it best to clarify a few things before he digs a deeper hole for himself. Last thing I knew, we were talking about 'Fix,' but seeing as it's going through some changes, perhaps the name is going as well. Secondly, I've been contributing on and off for Fix for the last few years. By this point its an extremely well-established mag in the West Coast with a great reputation and a very readable format. Most of all, Fix has one of the slickest layouts I've ever seen. While the content leans more in the west coast breakbeat/techno area, I've been able to squeeze in features on Squarepusher, Taylor Deupree and Luke Slater. I'd definitely recommend checking the mag out in its present form, and I look forward to seeing the new format in the new year. And Chris? Lighten up a bit. Exclaim probably just pays you a token wage so you won't attempt to strangle them and steal their posters.
