Jon Hopkins to curate new ‘Late Night Tales’ release

Jon Hopkins is the latest name to sign up for a ‘Late Night Tales’ compilation, with an extended mix schedule for 1st March 2015.

Bringing together musical Hopkins has “been listening to for years, free from the constraints of a club setting or from trying to stick to one genre,” the album is set to feature music from Holy Other and Nils Frahm. Hopkins is also set to provide an exclusive - a cover of Yeasayer’s ‘I Remember’.

“I chose tracks not just because they have been important to me but because of how they sit together, putting as much thought into the transitions and overall narrative as I did into the track choices. I mixed by key and by texture more than anything else, using original sound design, pivot notes, and often recording new synth or piano parts to link things together in a way that flows as naturally as possible,” he explained.
