De: Bug is a magazine for the first game types of electronic music.
De: Bug since 1997 but is always a step further and therefore sees the tension, in which the music is produced and consumed. Between the poles technology, culture and party represents electronic music for De: Bug permanent confrontation at the interface between man and machine: In the music can this communication in the sense of the word listen, the process gets a tangible expression intuitively.

Electronic aspects of life are thus in all areas of culture, politics and economics, in which man and machine meet: Internet, video games and cell phones. Privacy, digital office everyday and TV.
