About us

Evlear is great with coffee in the morning

Ethos
With a sense of adventure and a genuine love for all things that bring joy and fulfillment in life, you have Evlear. A passionately written collection of articles spread over topics like Music, Cars, Road Rallies, Lifestyle, and Festivals.

Shooting for the stars, but not aiming for the moon, has kept us alive since June 2002. We are still here and still doing our thing due to a passion for creating, sharing, and delivering an experience that is easy and direct. If you want to help us be better and let us celebrate another 20 years down the road, you can by sharing an article on social media. Our goal has always been to give our visitors a solid platform on which to discover, share, and connect.

Our aim
The overall aim is to bring quality articles, interviews, and reviews on Music, Cars, Road Rallies, Lifestyle, and Festivals. The Cars, Road rallies, and Lifestyle sections focus on high-end consumer goods and events that incorporate music, cars, and fashion, like Gumball 3000, ModBall, Cash & Rocket, and others. The Music section is a passion that will never fade, and it is also the majority of the content, while the Festivals section is a curated guide to festivals that we encourage a visit. Evlear Magazine is made possible with a great sense of humor and just a bit of professionalism. E is for Emotion. E is for Evolution. E is for Expression. E is for Everyone. E is for Evlear.

Today
Evlear Magazine focuses on Music, Cars, Road Rallies, Lifestyle, and Festivals. We have our own apparel brand, which can be found at Zazzle and Spreadshirt. Founded in June 2002 as Megamind Magazine. Became Evlear in March 2013. The website loads faster than all industry-related websites, which is an achievement in itself. It's all about passion for Music, Cars, Road rallies, Lifestyle, and Festivals, all with a unique twist to Evlear Magazine. Most people are unaware that Evlear is actually an anagram for Reveal.

In 2015 we donated the old domain Megamind.se to the Tekniska Museet, also known as the Swedish National Museum of Science and Technology, so it could be used in an upcoming exhibition involving visions of the next generation's science centers. We like seeing the re-use of the old domain so that it comes to use for today's young people in a good way.

History
The website was started on the 31st of July 2002 by Mathias Haegglund as a spin-off from Lushbeats Magazine, which was the proving ground for a 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 the clubbing and DJ culture in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.

The website started out as Megamind.dk. Still, after a year, it changed its name to Megamind.se. Then seven years later, it changed to its last home at MegamindMagazine.com in order to branch out and become a more international site solely focusing on DJ culture and music, especially Electronic Dance Music (EDM).

Several years later, having outlived all other websites started around the same time. Megamind was considered to be stable and well looked after, the 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."

Megamind Magazine was a free online magazine dedicated to bringing music and industry-related news to the public. The magazine was also operated as a non-profit organization, where all proceeds were put into developing and maintaining the website.
