DJ Mag has announced a new licensing deal with Chinese company East21 Music Group. The five year contract will see a print edition of the magazine being launched in China, along with its Top 100 DJ and Top 100 Club polls, and a commitment for at least five branded events per year in the country.

“We are really excited to be working with East21 Music Group, with Rachel [Yang] and Fu [Jiang] and look forward to building DJ Mag in China together over the next five years and beyond”, says the magazine’s MD Martin Carvell. “We are proud as a British-born magazine to be expanding with DJ Mag and the Top 100 DJs in Asia and particularly China and are looking forward to seeing more Chinese DJs and clubs breaking into the Top 100s”.

DJ Mag currently publishes in the UK, US and Canada, with seasonal editions in Ibiza and Croatia as well as a global presence online. It also has a number of existing licensing deals around its brand and content in other European, Asian and Latin American markets.

On the new deal, Publisher James Robertson adds: “We are delighted to announce this Chinese licence deal. It tops off a fantastic year of selling over £1 million pounds worth of international licences. It shows that Britain is open for business; that we have brands that are the envy of the world. DJ Mag is a brand we can all be very proud of”.

Back in the UK, DJ Mag has announced DJ EZ will headline its Best Of British Awards this week. The event will take place at Egg London on 15 Dec.
