The end of nearly a decade
It is with mixed emotions that we regretfully have to inform that as of the 1st of September 2010 this website will no longer be online. All the biographies, charts, news, events, festivals and mixes will be terminated. The lyrics section of the website will find a new home, somewhere else. No Updates will be posted from the 1st of March 2010 until termination day of the 31st of August 2010.
The founder and webmaster Mathias Haegglund says:
"Over the past 8 years we have built this website from scratch with now intention of it being a "non-profit" informative website for all those who enjoy music and especially Electronic Dance Music in all it's forms and expressions. We think that we've succeeded in doing that and also to help upcoming artists as well as established ones to reach out. We've crowned the Most Popular Nordic DJ seven times over the years. We've have featured over 5000 events and festivals on our website. We've gathered thousands of DJ Charts, Lyrics and Biographies from all over the world, from the bedroom bedlams to the superstars of the industry. All have gotten their fair share of the space in the limelight. We've served over 260.730.458 Kb of data. We've serviced 23.865.923 visitors with the information stored in our databases, But it's time to move on and since we haven't found anyone interested in carry on the legacy, we are forced to shut it down."
"It is painful to see something that you've created out of love for music and the passion for helping others achieve their dreams, vanish. But we've had a good run and in some respect, we think that we made a little impact on all doubters dooming it to fail. Eight (8) years of nearly daily updates and countless hours spent on refining and polishing has finally come to an end. We bid you farewell and send you all on your way to find new watering holes and favorite spots to hang out and listen to that music that you've all love. Keep creativity flowing and let yourself experience and discover new music every day."
History of Megamind
The website was started in June 2002 by Mathias Haegglund as a spin-off from Lushbeats Magazine, which was the proving ground for this new project called Megamind. After leaving Lushbeats Magazine to focus solely on Megamind it quickly grew and attracted attention for being the first website focusing on Nordic Clubbing and DJ Culture in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Now eight years later and having outlived most other websites started around the same time. Megamind is considered to be a stable and well looked after cornerstone of the industry. As always and as it's written "Megamind is always new, always informative, always insightful, always fun and always for you, the clubbers."
