# Electronic Beats Magazine Winter 2013 is out December 5th
Holly Johnson, the legendary singer of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, once
said: "I get buzzed off the fact that [Andy Warhol][1]{:
target="_blank"}'s heard of us, because *he* gets buzzed off the fact
that Picasso had heard of *him*." A few months ago, Electronic Beats
editor-in-chief Max Dax wondered if [H.P. Baxxter][2]{: target="_blank"}
gets buzzed off the fact that renowned German painter Albert Oehlen had
not only heard of him, but also uses the Scooter frontman's chants and
slogans in his paintings. This led to gathering the two pillars of high
and low art for our cover story. Hopefully, the other interviews and
conversations in this issue will be as edifying.
Appropriately, they focus on artistic balance---not only the
aforementioned high with the low, but also the hallucinogenic with the
sober, the functional with the academic, and the self-aggrandizing with
the painfully shy. Here's an overview:
-- [Louise Brailey][3]{: target="_blank"} interviews [Laurel Halo][4]{:
target="_blank"} on reality television and her latest album of
experimental techno *Chance Of Rain*.
-- [A.J. Samuels][5]{: target="_blank"} visits [Mark Fell][6]{:
target="_blank"} in Sheffield to discuss philosophical perspectives on
dance music and Margaret Thatcher's affect on British alternative
culture.
-- [Max Dax][7]{: target="_blank"} learns talks to [Gary Numan][8]{:
target="_blank"} about how the synth legend overcame his Asperger's
syndrome to come out the other end of a long dark tunnel.
-- Darkside's [Nicolas Jaar][9]{: target="_blank"} and Dave Harrington
meet up with psychedelic figurehead Daniel Pinchbeck to discuss
ayahuasca rituals, musical manifestations of shamanism and telepathic
communication.
-- [Rabih Beaini][10]{: target="_blank"} argues for the continuing
relevance of Afro-futurist ideals in his review of NRSB-11's
*Commodified*.
-- *The New Yorker*'s Richard Brody praises [Claude Lanzmann][11]{:
target="_blank"}'s The Last of The Unjust for rehabilitating
controversial figure Benjamin Murmelstein.
-- [Ricardo Villalobos][12]{: target="_blank"} decries Babylonian
tendencies and needless categorization in thinking about music.
-- We report on our 72 hours in Hamburg, including interviews with
Dial/Smallville's Lawrence & Small People, Bureau B's Gunther
Buskies, FSK and HFBK's Michaela Melián, ethnomusicologist and mafia
music expert Francesco Sbano, ZickZack's Alfred Hilsberg and more.
-- Dr. Charles S. Grob describes his research administering psilocybin
to terminally ill cancer patients.
-- [Cosey Fanni Tutti][13]{: target="_blank"} tells all, from A to Z.
-- [Trent Reznor][14]{: target="_blank"} tells us how Johnny Cash became
his style icon.
The new EB Magazine is out in just a few weeks, so why not [order a
copy][15]{: target="_blank"} (or four)? We hope you love it, because we
had a blast putting it together. It may not keep your body warm this
winter, but it should definitely heat up your brain. ~
