Distibution: News agents, supermarkets, Music shops, Main gigs.

Rationale: The Magazine is distibuted towards the house and electronica genre of music. It will contain some mainstream artists/DJs and also some underground artist. Typical conventions of the magazine consists of interviews and reviews on the genre.

Style: Normal styled vocabulary with and addition of electronica slang I.E "Madchester, Scouse house,ect" It contains contrustive critism on some artists and bands and offers a fair amount of grammar and well structured sentences.
