Curated by George Evelyn — the mind behind Nightmares On Wax and one of Warp Records’ most iconic artists — this edition distills decades of deep crate-digging, soul-sampling heritage and global musical curiosity into a single immersive journey. Evelyn’s selections weave together rare soul, downtempo funk, cosmic jazz, dub, and laid-back hip-hop with an effortless flow that mirrors his own productions, creating a narrative that feels like a late-night conversation between friends.

From the dusty grooves of Quincy Jones and Terry Callier to the warm glow of Quincy Bright and De La Soul, the compilation radiates an unmistakable sense of intimacy and nostalgia. Carefully sequenced and deeply soulful, it’s the kind of mix that works as both background mood and focused listening — revealing new subtleties with every play.

Balancing crate-digger sophistication with emotional accessibility, "LateNightTales" by Nightmares On Wax remains one of the most beloved and timeless volumes in the series — a quintessential example of how a compilation can tell a story as rich and personal as any album.
