Another Late Night (Reissue Double LP)

Twenty-one years after its initial release in 2002, Groove Armada's seminal Another Late Night compilation gets a heavyweight vinyl reissue courtesy of longtime label collaborators Late Night Tales.

Boasting eighteen tracks lovingly selected by the esoteric cratediggers (including the duo's uber-rare cover of 'Fly Me To The Moon'), the 70-minute collection - hailed as a 'groovy concoction of cabaret music, cocktail house, old school funk and a bit of hip hop' by Resident Advisor - takes us on a journey through downtempo bliss via the occasional dance- floor filler and more than one opportunity for the listener to start shakin' their ass. In this Another Late Night compilation, Groove Armada have achieved the tricky task of delivering a mix that gives a flavour of the dancefloor while simultaneously offering something that can be consumed lying gingerly on a chaise-longue while being wafted with palm fronds by scantily clad belly dancers. See you on the veranda.

"I remember the first one really well. We did it in a really horrible flat that I lived in on Seven Sisters Road where we also did a couple of early remixes that were great, so there was some good output at that time. I remember doing the 'Fly Me To The Moon' cover, because whenever Andy's near a piano, he just defaults to playing that tune. It's his thing. That was super simple, that one, because it was just Andy playing the piano and a real slowed-down breakbeat." - Tom Findlay, Sept 2023
