Floating Points helms new Late Night Tales compilation on 2xLP

“A selection of the kind of records I play to set the tone when DJing all night long.”

Floating Points aka Sam Shepherd is curating the newest instalment of Late Night Tales, out this March on double vinyl.

“I’ve learnt about a lot of incredible music from listening to Late Night Tales over the years, so I jumped at the opportunity to compile one myself,” he shares. Its 17 tracks span soul, ambient, jazz and folk.

There are 3 exclusives tunes on the compilation: Sarah Davachi’s ‘Untitled, live in Portland’, Floating Points’ ‘The Sweet Time Suite, Part I – Opening (Kenny Wheeler cover version)’ and Toshimaru Nakamura’s ‘Nimb#59′.

Late Night Tales follows Floating Points’ Ratio 12″ in 2017, as well as his Reflections – Mojave Desert LP, and the reissue of Abu Talib (Bobby Wright) ‘Blood Of An American’, via his Melodies International label this year, which also appears on this collection.
