Later this year, Mixmag is extending their remit with a new series of events – Mixmag Live – kicking off with Richie Hawtin.

Each month, one of the biggest stars of electronic music will feature on Mixmag’s cover, guest edit a ten-page section within the magazine and mix the iconic cover CD. Then, when the magazine hits stores, the cover artist will play a special show in London – with every fan attending receiving a free copy of this extra special, collectable magazine and CD.

The event will also be live streamed via mixmag.net and overseas fans will be able to purchase a copy of the magazine and cover mix as soon as it goes on sale, via Mixmag’s newly launched iPad/iPhone/Android digital app.

The first Mixmag Live coverstar will be the legendary Richie Hawtin. Whether under his Plastikman guise or simply as himself, Richie has built a deserved reputation as one of the most visionary and forward-thinking artists dance music has ever produced.

Hawtin’s Mixmag Live event, Richie Hawtin: New Horizons will take place at London’s Village Underground on Thursday 23rd February where he’ll be supported by two red hot minus artists.

Mixmag Editor Nick DeCosemo commented: "We are all incredibly excited about this new chapter in Mixmag's history. We believe this series of events, coupled with our new digital activity and the monthly, cornerstone, magazine cements our position as the world's leading authority on dance music and club culture. We are also looking forward to some rather amazing parties."
