Barry Can’t Swim drops hypnotic new track ‘Chala (My Soul Is On A Loop)’ 

Barry Can’t Swim has announced that he’s the latest artist to curate a special Late Night Tales compilation mix, and has marked the occasion by sharing an entrancing new cut titled ‘Chala (My Soul Is On A Loop)’. 

Due out on 6th March, the release sees the former DIY cover star join the ranks of MGMT, Metronomy, Groove Armada, Jon Hopkins and more as a Late Night Tales curator, kicking off the beloved series’ 25th anniversary year.  Made up of 20 tracks, the mix will land in the wake of Barry’s second album ‘Loner’, and is set to give a taste of his influences beyond the DJ booth, spanning house classics, atmospheric cuts, and his own unreleased material. 

“I was absolutely buzzing when I got asked to do Late Night Tales. Over the moon,” Barry has said, reflecting on the honour. “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.”
