Various Artists - Late Night Tales: Barry Can't Swim - Vinyl LP Record

Barry Can’t Swim – one of the most exciting electronic artists in the world – is set to be the latest artist to curate a Late Night Tales compilation. The release marks Late Night Tales’ first mix in over five years, and kicks off the series’ 25th anniversary year. This 20-track mix showcases Barry’s wider musical tastes and influences, fitting for both on and off the dancefloor.

The powerful house tracks, like Lance DeSardi’s ‘Power of Suggestion’ and Daniel Avery’s remix of Factory Floor, intertwine with the abstract grooves of Freddie Da Stupid or Ronald Langestraat’s leftfield reading of Boz Scaggs’ ’70s smash ‘Lowdown’. There are exclusive tracks from Barry Can’t Swim himself (in the form of new single ‘Chala’ and an exclusive edit of Superpitcher’s ‘Yves’) and from friends and contemporaries, like Ninja Tune labelmate, O’Flynn.

Leaving aside the obvious quality of the mix, with its serpentine twists and dramatic turns, you can tell Josh is a fan of this series by bringing in his own personal poet, the brilliant Seamus, for the spoken word section right at the end. He’s a one-man Late Night Tales programmer.
