  • Jon Hopkins has overseen the next instalment in the LateNightTales series. Hopkins, who charted in the top live acts of 2014 poll on RA, has used music from the likes of Darkstar, Teebs, Nils Frahm, Letherette, Four Tet and Bibio in his mix. He rounds out the selection with an exclusive poem by Brian Eno collaborator Rick Holland. "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," Hopkins says. "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." Listen to a sampler for the mix below.
