# EB Magazine Spring 2013: Out today
With the exception of certain sociopolitical strands of hip hop,
electronic music, particularly dance music, is not something most people
associate with protest song. But the times they are a-changin', and so
are musical focuses. While this issue of Electronic Beats Magazine
features continued conversations with artists such as [**Depeche
Mode**][1]{: target="_blank"}, [**Kraftwerk**][2]{: target="_blank"} and
[**Cluster**][3]{: target="_blank"}, whose music has served as the basis
of so much of today's house, techno and synthpop, we'll also be
scrutinizing lesser known corners of the sonic jungle, from the low-end
innovations of car audio bass and [**Holly Herndon**][4]{:
target="_blank"}'s interest in Bell Labs to contributions to queer
discourse by the likes of [**Terre Thaemlitz**][5]{: target="_blank"},
[**The Knife**][6]{: target="_blank"} and [**Planningtorock**][7]{:
target="_blank"}. It's this combination of under- and overground stories
that we hope will provide insight into the fluid tendencies of artistic
influence, as well as help describe the ever-shifting musical points of
reference of artists today and tomorrow.
Here's an overview to whet your appetites:
-- Interviews with **Dave Gahan**, [**Karl Bartos**][8]{:
target="_blank"}, **Bass Mekanik**, and **Andrey A. Tarkovsky**
-- Kosmische Musik legend [**Hans-Joachim Roedelius**][9]{:
target="_blank"} sits down for a chat with German
experimental/industrial maestro [**Asmus Tietchens**][10]{:
target="_blank"}
-- The Knife, Planningtorock and Terre Thaemlitz discuss electronic
music as a vehicle of protest against heteronormativity.
-- A look at [**Budapest**][11]{: target="_blank"}'s artistic vanguard
in its struggle to maintain creative freedom amidst Hungary's current
wave of reactionary politics.
-- **100% Silk** and **Not Not Fun** label co-founder [**Amanda
Brown**][12]{: target="_blank"} discusses her style icon, the late,
great **Tina Chow**.
-- Wired's [**Steven Levy**][13]{: target="_blank"} argues for the
primacy of print.
-- The alphabet according to[ DJ Koze][14]{:
target="_blank"}.
-- **Sonic Boom** takes apart [**My Bloody Valentine**][15]{:
target="_blank"}'s m b v . . .
and more.
As always, the future was yesterday. But you can [read about it
now][16]{: target="_blank"}!
