VARIOUS – Late Night Tales Presents – Groove Armada Another Late Night (2023 Repress with Art Print) – 2LP – 180g Vinyl

2LP – Heavyweight 180g Black Vinyl Repress with 30cm Art Print (Unmixed).

Twenty-one years after its initial release in 2002, Groove Armadas 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 duos 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 dancefloor 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 Andys near a piano, he just defaults to playing that tune. Its 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
