ABOUT US

Barcode is a web portal for the sole promotion of electronic music and associated genres.

Conceived in 1999, Barcode formerly existed as a printed magazine available from major London branches of Tower Records. In 2002, it was decided to move our presence onto the web. Since then, Barcode has achieved a steady increase in visitors and currently averages approximately 25,000 unique hits per month.

Barcode strives to ensure that all of our reviews are well-researched, credible and unbiased.

Barcode also interviews industry artists and has written in-depth freelance articles for a number of highly regarded printed publications.

Barcode is also an affiliate of NewsNow, the UK's leading online press monitoring company. NewsNow redirects all reviews via a live feed to users in 139 countries.
