back story:
i’ve been going to shows at The Warfield since i was 20 years old to experience countless awe-inspiring music moments. performing as the opening act for an iconic band such as Royksopp was definitely a defining moment. in preparation, i went to work, digging deep into my musical archives that would allow me to create a mood that felt appropriate for what would follow, for a venue of concertgoers, not a club or underground party, yet remain distinctly me. i curated an assortment of music and mixed it together on the fly, in the moment, for what felt right. i ended up closing my musical journey with an edit of Sylvester, a San Francisco icon who has inspired me, at an iconic venue that has also lifted me on so many occasions. as this last song played, something propelled me to dance across the stage in celebration of him, this moment, and the profound effect true house music has over you. even when djing on a stage with a sold-out crowd looking on instead of being in a dj booth, usually on the floor with all the dancers. the response was electric, all the positive messages have been incredible.. so here’s that set, in its entirety. hope you enjoy it now as much as then. thank you to all the music family for the support!

Galen - Live At The Warfield

A wintry collage from one of 2024's breakout stars.

As far as crossover electronic success goes, Barry Can't Swim's 2024 scorecard would take some beating. His singles have racked up hundreds of millions of streams, he bagged a Mercury Prize nomination and has the range to both pack out festivals as a DJ and sell out tours worldwide with a string-accented live show. 

Barely 12 months on from the release of debut album "When Will We Land?", it's fair to say Josh Mannie is one of the most in-demand artists working in dance and electronic music right now, with a follow-up LP nearly done, he says.

For RA.968, he pulls in the complete opposite direction from any of that. Sure, there are nods to Mark Leckey and late-night jazz haunts throughout his catalogue, and the ruminative clouds drifting across his signature golden-hour glow do suggest an artist with a sharp grasp on meteorological melancholy. But a beatless collage featuring Suso Sáiz, Slow Attack Ensemble and Lorenzo Senni? It's a surprise, and a welcome one at that.

Speckled with exclusive airings of brand-new ambient material, Barry Can't Swim's RA Podcast charts a path from This Mortal Coil to Ryuichi Sakamoto, with a detour through some Linkwood and Anthony Naples deep cuts we've not heard for a good while. (He even includes a Stars of the Lid favourite which namechecks Fulham's home ground, an act of mid-table grace for the diehard Everton fan).

RA.968 has the crackle of a frosty night walk set to tape—a holiday gift from one of the most popular acts in the game. 'Tis the season.
