Electronic Sound Issue 136 2026

Never mind the moonshot, we're off to a far-flung galaxy with HANNAH PEEL – synthesist, composer, space geek and this month's Electronic Sound cover star. We have a tasty orange vinyl seven-inch featuring two great tracks from Hannah's forthcoming collaborative album with virtuoso percussionist Beibei Wang to accompany the magazine too. There's plenty more stellar stuff elsewhere in the magazine, not least one-time Japan man RICHARD BARBIERI, Dutch techno pioneer SPEEDY J, snooker ace turned modular maverick STEVE DAVIS, and comedian turned podcast big cheese ADAM BUXTON. Add in THE GRID and LYR, an outfit with poet laureate Simon Armitage in the line-up, together with RUDOLF ROCKER and Beak> bass player BILLY FULLER, and you'll most probably still be reading this issue of Electronic Sound when the next one comes out. Our latest exclusive seven-inch features two ingenious, insistent and infectious tracks from HANNAH PEEL & BEIBEI WANG's 'The Endless Dance' album, which will be out next month. This release is a limited edition pressing on fabulous orange vinyl and the A-side is a wonky and dubby cut called 'Tiger Sex' – "It's got an Underworld vibe to it," declares Hannah – with little loops of chatter and laughter along the way. It's backed by the metallic and distorted 'Offerings To The Beast', where the huge timpani battles it out with fuzzy electronics. Hannah describes the track as "a dialogue with unseen forces", noting that it's also "truly beautiful". She's right on both counts. As with all of our releases, this record is only available to readers of Electronic Sound, so grab your copy right away. Electronic Sound Issue 136 2026
