With the exception of certain sociopolitical strands of hip hop and anomalies like Atari Teenage Riot, 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 we at Electronic Beats Magazine are committed to continuing our exploration of artists such as Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk and Cluster, whose music has served as the basis of so much of today’s house, techno and synthpop, we also take pride in scrutinizing lesser known corners of the sonic jungle, like the low-end innovations of car audio bass and contributions to queer discourse by the likes of Terre Thaemlitz, The Knife and Planningtorock. As always, the future was yesterday. But you can read about it here.
