Announcing the new shesaid.so x Mixmag partnership

We're linking up with shesaid.so to build a genuine dialogue between its members and our audience

Mixmag is joining forces with shesaid.so to launch a new editorial partnership that will offer shesaid.so members the chance to have their work published in the pages of our magazine.

As a dance music and club culture brand, we’ve continuously championed artists, innovators, local dance music communities and emerging cultural trends be it in print, online, or on film for over three decades.

A key part of that is reaching out and connecting with other like-minded music communities, such as shesaid.so. As one of the most vital and powerful networks for change in dance music in 2019 and no doubt for years to come, shesaid.so and its members represent industry professionals far and wide in a plethora of career paths with a plethora of experiences.

So now, the fun part. We’re coming together to bring member-generated, curated and focused content into the magazine on a monthly basis.

Shesaid.so members are invited to submit their ideas as part of the partnership, be it social commentary on industry topics, scene pieces, humorous illustrations or mesmerising photography.

“We’ve watched with no little admiration as shesaid.so has steadily become perhaps the most innovative and powerful community for change in dance music and club culture in 2019," says Mixmag's Editor Duncan Dick. "We want to open a genuine dialogue with its members that will help us reflect and celebrate their values and achievements.”

At present, we're aiming to kick off our collaboration in the November issue, with a content deadline of September 20 2019. Members can find out more about the new venture, potential content ideas and other relevant details here, and send their ideas our way via this form. Payment will be at our usual freelance rates where content is member produced.

"Electronic music and club culture continue to foster one of the most open and forward-thinking communities in music so it's crucial for the female voice to be heard in that space," says shesaid.so founder Andreea Magdalina. "Partnering with Mixmag to give our community of women the chance to have their voices amplified then becomes so significant. I'm truly excited to unearth what they are passionate about, be that in writing or visual form."
