Nils Frahm to curate ‘Late Night Tales’ mix

Berlin-based composer Nils Frahm is the latest artist to sign up for a ‘Late Night Tales’ mix.

Out 11th September, the new release brings together some of Frahm’s own work - a solo edit of ‘Them’ and a cover of John Cage’s ‘4’33’ - plus music from Four Tet, Nina Simone, Boards of Canada, Dub Tractor, Nina Jurish, Bibio, Miles Davis and Colin Stetson. It closes with ‘In the Morning’, a spoken word piece from Cillian Murphy.

Describing the process of creating the compilation, Frahm says: “Some things may have accidentally landed on the wrong speed, while other spooky happening have occurred along the way, whether it’s ghostly additions of reverb and delay or simply subtle edits or reproductions, they’ve all gone into the magical stew I’ve tried to create for your pleasure and edification… I hope it will be a nice journey for your mind and heart.”
