Muzikwas a Britishdance musicmagazine published byIPC Mediafrom June 1995[1]to August 2003.[2]
Muzikwas created by two formerMelody Makerjournalists,Pushand Ben Turner. Push was the editor ofMuzikfrom its launch until he left the magazine in 1998, at which point Turner took over as editor. The title was subsequently edited by Dave Fowler, then Chris Elwell-Sutton for less than a year, beforeConor McNicholas,who went on to editNME,took over.[3][4][5]
Aimed at serious dance music fans rather than weekend clubbers,Muzik's writers included a number of well-knownDJs,includingKris Needs,Rob da Bank,Spoony,Terry Farley,Bob Jones, Jonty Skrufff and Dave Mothersole. The magazine sold over 50,000 copies a month at its peak, but was closed down by IPC Media just one issue short of its 100th edition.[citation needed]
