Barry Can’t Swim – Late Night Tales: Barry Can’t Swim

Description

In the last two years, Barry Cant Swim has released two albums When Will We Land? and Loner. The debut was nominated for a Mercury Music Prize, winning 2024s Best Dance Act on BBC Radio 1 and being nominated for Best Dance Act at the BRIT Awards in the same year. The latest album, 2025s Loner, hit the top ten in the UK charts and was number one in the dance charts. This summer, Barry Cant Swim cemented his position as one of the most singular new voices in electronic music with a gangbusting performance as a headliner at All Points East in Londons Victoria Park, building on his back-to-back performance with Bonobo at Coachella in 2024. Barrys Late Night Tales mix brings together disparate styles and forms them into a coherent narrative. The powerful house tracks, like Lance DeSardis Power of Suggestion and Daniel Averys remix of Factory Floor, intertwine with the abstract grooves of Freddie Da Stupid or Ronald Langestraats leftfield reading of Boz Scaggs 70s smash Lowdown. There are exclusive tracks from Barry Cant Swim himself (in the form of new single Chala and an exclusive edit of Superpitchers Yves) and from friends and contemporaries, like Ninja Tune labelmate OFlynn. 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. Hes a one-man Late Night Tales programmer.
