EQ Music Blog (formerly Electroqueer.com) is an independent British music website and blog founded by American digital and music enthusiast Raj Rudolph. Alternative names include EQ and EQ Music; the site supports new electronic pop artists alongside its music reviews, features, interviews and video previews. In 2007, with the addition of New Artists Editor Mandy Rogers, the site developed into a multi-author blog; in 2013, pop blogger Luis Gonzalez joined.
In 2008, the EQ Music brand began to spoke into several entertainment related divisions including live showcasing, touring, record label and artist management; together, EQ Music's brands consolidate into a diverse international music media group.
In 2005, digital and music enthusiast Raj Rudolph launched Electroqueer.com as a blog focused on discovering and inspiring new talent in the pop and electronic genres of music. In 2008, EQ Music Live was formed, with the subsequent formation of the EQ Music Tour in 2011.
At the 2008 Weblog Awards, Electroqueer.com placed as finalist in the Best Music Blog category. In 2010, Electroqueer.com changed its name, becoming EQ Music Blog. The following year, Welsh electropop duo Electrovamp won EQ Music Blog's theme song contest; the band's winning entry, "Electroqueer", became the site's official theme song and was featured on volume one of the This Beat Is Poptronik compilation album, curated by the blog.
In 2012, EQ Music announced co-sponsorship from Gaydar Radio, Budweiser and Music Jobs Ltd for the inaugural Poptronik Festival held in Spain.
In 2013, EQ Music launched its artist management division. In 2015, the brand launched on Viber Public Chats, giving app users the ability to access the blogsite's music picks and recommendations via the platform's instant messaging and Voice over IP (VoIP) software.
