Barry Can’t Swim, has announced his Late Night Tales compilation, the album will arrive out 6th March 2026 via Ninja Tune/Late Night Tales. The release marks Late Night Tales’ first mix in over five years, and kicks off the series’ 25th anniversary year.

The 20-track mix features Barry’s take on house classics, including Lance DeSardi’s ‘Power of Suggestion’ and Daniel Avery’s remix of Factory Floor, the grooves of Freddie Da Stupid or Ronald Langestraat’s leftfield reading of Boz Scaggs’ ’70s ‘Lowdown’. Elsewhere, atmospheric and emotionally rich selections such as This Mortal Coil’s ‘The Lacemaker’ and Magic Spirit Quartet’s “Annabi”.

Barry also shares an exclusive reworking of Felt’s 1986 obscurity ‘Ferdinand Magellan’, alongside an edit of Superpitcher’s ‘Yves’, nodding to the classic Late Night Tales tradition of bespoke reinterpretations. His own unreleased material appears too – ‘Sometimes I Feel So Alone’, originally written for his debut album, and lead single ‘Chala (My Soul Is On A Loop)’, released today on Ninja Tune / Late Night Tales.

“I was absolutely buzzing when I got asked to do Late Night Tales. Over the moon,” Barry commented. “It was such a significant thing for me. It’s a series that works consistently with really great artists, so it felt like a massive privilege to even be considered to be among the kind of people that Late Night Tales typically works with.”

“I have this Spotify playlist that’s called Barry Can’t Curate. I’d always put electronic music and different things in there that maybe I wouldn’t get to play in DJ sets,” he continues. “Late Night Tales is in the same world really – another place where you can share the music you love, but not necessarily music you’d play on a dancefloor.”

Barry Can’t Swim (Joshua Mainnie) developed his early relationship with music learning piano and playing in local bands, before club culture drew him into electronic music and the bedroom studio. His debut album When Will We Land?, released in October 2023, including a shortlisting for the 2024 Mercury Music Prize. The nomination placed Barry alongside artists such as Charli XCX, Beth Gibbons, English Teacher, Ghetts and The Last Dinner Party.
