Dance Music Report, initially Disco News and later DMR, was a biweekly U.S. trade magazine oriented toward nightclub and radio DJs in the dance music industry. The magazine was first published in September 1978, changed its name from Disco News to Dance Music Report in 1979,[1] and folded in 1992.

The owner of the magazine and its copyright was Disco News, Inc., based in New York City. The magazine was started as a tip sheet by Tom Silverman (who later founded Tommy Boy Records) and two of his college friends, Scott Anderson and Steve Singer, who all lived together in an apartment/office.[1][2][3] The magazine was sold mostly through subscriptions, but in its later years was sold in bulk through record stores.[1] The first editors were Silverman and Anderson, followed by Stephanie Shepherd for the last 10 years of its run.[1]

DMR content included North American regional reporting on local music and happenings, retail and radio reports from around the U.S., record pool news, industry updates, an annual readers' poll, and year-end charts with BPMs.[1]

One of DMR's writers, Gary Hayslett, started a magazine called Remix Service Authority, specializing in reviews of releases by remix services. After DMR folded, Hayslett's magazine was renamed to Dance Music Authority and its coverage was expanded to include the same kind of content as DMR.[4]

The annual New Music Seminar was launched in 1980 as a joint venture between Dance Music Report and Rockpool magazines.[5]
