Raveline was a German music magazine for the field of electronic dance music . She dealt with musical styles such as techno , house , trance , electro and breakbeat , and in part also with experimental electronic music, which was reviewed under the heading "Querbeat".
Raveline was first published in 1992 as an 8-page copied black and white fanzine in DIN A5 format in Gelsenkirchen. One of the first authors was the later editor-in-chief Marcel Feige . Since 1993 it has appeared monthly and has grown to around 130 pages. The content included dance news, interviews with DJs and producers from all over the world, a large number of record reviews, technology tests, party reports (“Nightflight”) and much more. Lifestyle and fashion rounded off the offer. With up to 2,000 party tips, Raveline also contained an extensive event calendar. The circulation was up to 140,000 copies.
About 50 permanent and freelance employees (in Germany and internationally) provided the material for the editorial office in Cologne . Raveline had been IVW- tested since 1998 and appeared nationwide at kiosks as well as in Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Portugal, Spain and in the summer months on the Balearic Islands. The circulation in 2005 was approx. 77,000 and in 2009 81,500 copies. In addition to de: Bug and the Groove , Raveline was the only house and techno magazine in Germany that was not distributed free of charge, but sold through the magazine trade. Since the 10/2008 edition, the retail price in Germany has been 4.50 euros and in the other countries between 5.20 and 6.00 euros.
The magazine had a comic section that was designed by the artists Bringmann & Kopetzki . These were known u. a. through the Stammheim in Kassel . In addition, the DJ and producer Tom Novy maintained a monthly column in the magazine.
For the 10/2008 issue, the logo was given a new design. The magazine's new website was online on January 5, 2010, and since May 7, 2010 the television format Raveline TV has also been moderated by Tom Novy and editor-in-chief Sven Schäfer. The weekly broadcast was streamed on the website on Fridays. The approximately half-hour studio format also reported on the important events of the electronic music scene in special programs.
On December 1, 2011, bankruptcy proceedings were opened against the publisher.
On January 20, 2012, the readers of the Raveline received a letter that the magazine would be produced again under the old name in the newly created CS Verlag. At the same time, the Fazemag was created in February 2012 . This has been practiced by ex-Raveliners ever since. The Raveline in the new look was sold by CS Verlag until February 2013 and then discontinued.
