The specialist magazine for music, production and DJ-ing: BEAT combines competent hardware and software tests with committed reviews as well as reports and interviews from music circles and the music business.
This month’s Electronic Sound cover star is Jason Pierce, aka J Spaceman, the main man of cosmic kings Spiritualized. We have a fantastic seven-inch – dual speed and white vinyl – featuring tracks from the band’s extremely rare ‘Pure Phase Tones For DJs’ EP to accompany the magazine too. We’ve had Jason Pierce in our sights since the announcement of the Spaceman Reissue Program, which sees the re-release of VIP editions of Spiritualized’s first four albums, including ‘Pure Phase’ and ‘Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space’. Jason has always been a high quality interviewee and we found him in terrific form, happy to chat about whatever we threw at him and serving up a cracking Kraftwerk tale along the way.

For much of the past decade a lot of hardware developers, at least the more affordable end of the market, have seemingly been obsessed with recreating the sound of vintage gear. However, after years of 808-alikes and vintage-styled monosynths, things seem to be swinging back toward towards innovation (with the exception of Behringer, of course, who continue their mission to clone every instrument ever released). 2020 so far seems to have been a year of interesting and unique instruments, and even retro-leaning gear like Pol end’s Tracker has put a fresh spin on old ideas. It’s that sense of innovation we’re trying to tap into with this issue’s cover feature; taking the bread-and-butter theme of beat-making and exploring lesser used ideas and unique modern tools.
