What do you do when you have released number 20 in a highly successful and incredibly cool mix series? Invite back the stars who have sold the most in the series to have another crack. I’m sure it’s all about the music man, and money has nothing to do with it. Regardless, Azuli Records have brought back Groove Armada to compile their newest Late Night Tales mix, and with stunning results. Familiar to everyone from your 2 year old niece to your granny, Andy Cato and Tom Findlay have a very healthy resume of artist albums, DJ mixes, tours and advertising jingles to their name. In this compilation we get to listen to a “mixtape from the tour bus of their mind”, and it rocks. Laying down everything from art rock, synth pop and motown grooves you are in for an aural treat of the highest level.

Opening up with a vocal free edit of Human League’s Things That Dreams Are Made Of, a track that pretty much handed down the commandments to modern day electro, we move into the funky grooves of English rockers Roxy Music and their ubiquitous Love Is The Drug, have I got your attention yet? With an intro of those two songs surely this album can’t get any better? Wrong again. Some deep house tastiness pops up from African Dreams in Make A Living, putting 20th Century Steel Band’s Heaven & Hell to good use (Jenny from the block take note!). The highlight on here though is the Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve (aka Erol Alkan and Steve Norris) rerub of Midlake’s tour of Americana in Roscoe. Pure goose bump stuff.

After a touch of Balearic courtesy of Liquid People’s Son Of Dragon and another one of Andy’s favourites, Chris Rea’s Jospehine (La Version Francaise), we dive into some soul tunage from Mr Marvin Gaye in You’re All I Need To Get By. If that isn’t enough it is backed up with Stevie Wonder’s ‘Tuesday Heartbreak’. I told you it was good. But the fun doesn’t stop here, we get touch of indie pop from Swedes Peter, Bjorn and John and their track The Chills, and of course this album couldn’t be complete with a touch of everyone’s favourite The Cure, appearing here with their ever popular Close To Me.

Wow. Just wow. Don’t turn off your computer, don’t say goodbye to your mum. Get up, run to the store and grab your copy before it disappears.

Perfect for: just about everything.
