The Italians call it notturna, the French nocturne, in Spanish it's nocturno, while the Estonians say öine. (Trust the Estonians to be different.) A nocturne is a French term to describe a musical composition that is inspired by or evocative of the night, which seems apposite. Our tempo might be slow, but the quality control makes Louis Vuitton look like Poundland. We've gathered together some of the hottest new material, with some judiciously chosen old gear, an edit or two and blended them together like a disco nutri-bullet. Among the exclusives is the amazing Lindstrøm remix of Charli XCX's 'You (Ha Ha Ha)', alongside a pair of exclusives from Emperor Machine and Hugh Mane and two belters from Hotel Motel. And there are the rarities. We've got Rudy Norman with the brilliant 'Back To The Streets'; there's also the amazing 'Chained To The Train Of Love' by Coalkitchen and our traditional curveball, this time furnished by Plastic Bertrand delivering one of the best ever early rap tunes. Bill Brewster comes armed with a sensitivity and sense of occasion that few other DJs possess - and as go-to scribe of liner notes for every Late Night Tales release since day one, his association with the series is symbiotic. Originally a chef, a football pundit (co-editor of fanzine When Saturday Comes) and record collector, Bill began DJing in in the late 80s, but he cut his teeth playing Low Life warehouse parties in Harlem and the East Village and anyone hearing Bill today can see how these New York 'roots' shine through. For eclecticism, surprises, amazing unique music and sheer long-haul dedication to the dancefloor.
