  • Groove Armada member Tom Findlay has mixed the next edition of LateNightTales, due for release in June. The mix is subtitled Music For Pleasure, which for Findlay apparently means rock ballads from the '70s and '80s. "It's very much a 'concept' record, blue eyed soul, yacht rock," he says. "Vibe was very much tunes that I used to blast on the tour bus. I love that music in a very wrong way, it's music to hug to!” Findlay made slight edits to many of the tracks to better suit the mix's continuous flow. As with every edition of LateNightTales, the mix features an exclusive cover from the curator—in this case, Findlay teams up with producer Tim Hutton as Sugardaddy to reinterpret Ace's '74 single "How Long". LateNightTales Presents Music For Pleasure comes with track-by-track notes from esteemed dance music chronicler Bill Brewster. It will also be available in unmixed form on 180 gram vinyl.
