Remix Hotel DEAD?

I’m sure everyone knows by now that Penton Media let go of Remix Magazine in 2008, relegating it to an internet only item.  This is the way of print media I think, so while sad, is totally expected.  What I was NOT expecting, however, is the demise of Remix Hotel.  RH was a series of mostly educational get-togethers in various cities across the US sponsored by Remix and presided over by the likes of Joanne Zola.

Caught up now?  Well, don’t sweat it if not, because it looks like if RH isn’t dead, it’s certainly on the ropes.

I, for one, am sad that what has become an institution (especially at WMC) seems to be dead and gone.  I know some of the folks from remix have found new homes in the DJ business (waves at Markkus!).  Let’s hope that we continue to see Joanne and all the other faces we’ve come to know at Remix in other DJ related endeavors.  They will all certainly be missed at WMC this year.

I wonder if maybe Beatport is going to step in and fill some of those empty spots…
