Formerly known as ''M8'' Magazine, the magazine acquired the social networking site tilllate.com and so the magazine was rebranded ''tilllate'' in August 2009.
''M8'' magazine was founded by David Faulds in September 1988. As publisher, Faulds appointed numerous successful editors including Mickey McMonagle, now Features Editor at ''Sunday Mail'', Lesley Wright who later edited ''DJ Mag'' and Iain Thomson who now runs Essential Ibiza. In January 2011, ''Tilllate'' became a global monthly magazine available as an interactive magazine online and also via a print to order service through magcloud.com - this allows for readers across the Tilllate global network to purchase the magazine.
In June 2011, ''Tilllate'' launched a US edition, which is now edited by Wilf Ligbott.
