Jon Hopkins has taken charge for the next edition of the Late Night Tales, due for release on 1st March. Amongst the artists Jon has selected feature the likes of Darkstar, Teebs, Nils Frahm, Letherette, Four Tet and Bibio. At the end of the mix there is even an exclusive poem by Rick Holland, a fellow Brian Eno collaborator.
This is what Jon had to say of the project: “Putting this album together was a unique opportunity for me to present music that I have been listening to for years, free from the constraints of a club setting or from trying to stick to one genre.”
“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.”
