NewTales

Late Night Tales is a series I've always admired from a distance. Getting people to arrange a compilation of their favourite nighttime tracks is a brlliant idea, and one I'd love to chip in with if it weren't for their tradition of including a cover by the compiler on every release. Anyways, the latest one from or Norwegian pals Röyksopp doesn't disappoint, a fairly eclectic collection no doubt but there's something in there for everyone. Check the minimix and see for yourself.



And a shorter video preview, but this one actually lists most of the tracks, normally I'd tag the minimix myself but there's only a couple missing from the vid.

Bibio making a comeback in my playlists in prep for his new LP dropping soon on Warp of course. This got me listening to his previous and wouldn't you know it the same thing's happened again, a track I was meh on has made itself known, and I'm kicking myself for not giving it full attention before. Bibio's cut up beats are spectacular on this one, with my favourites being round abut both sides of 4 minutes in before the calm sets in. Check it.

Lee Bazen - SqueejieMan

Taking a moment away from student housing headaches to share some more tune with you, Daft Punk's relationship with Italian producer extraordinaire Giorgio Moroder goes back further than Random Access Memories, here's a cheeky cover they did to close a live set at the Rex Club in Paris way back in '97.

Jimi Hollis -Mangled Tape Memories I (2006)

One of my favourite internet people David Firth has been awful quiet lately, he's set off on another travelling jaunt around Europe this time. Shame because he'd just revived the excellent Waller FM podcast on Fat-Pie. Still while we wait there's other pieces by him to digest, take his Locust Toybox work for example. Enjoy.
