Global breakthrough to new chapter

Early this year, the Edinburgh-born producer and DJ contributed the first instalment in five years to the prestigious Late Night Tales series as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations. In the past few years before then, he has headlined shows around the world, including three consecutive nights at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, All Points East and even Glastonbury.

Beyond his own releases, including 2023’s Mercury-nominated debut When Will We Land, he has established himself as a key curator within electronic music through his Earth’s Only Paradise imprint championing emerging artists including O’Flynn, SHEE and Sam Alfred, alongside curating Manchester’s Warehouse Project.

With Return To Bhibo, Barry Can’t Swim once again demonstrates why he remains one of the most exciting and influential voices in modern electronic music, setting the stage for what promises to be a landmark new era.
