Boys Noize @ The Lot Radio 11-19-2023

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.

Four Tet - Live set (Sónar 2025 LIVE ARTE Concert)

After a long break from the solitude, I went out partying with friends in Dubai. In the middle of our jam session, inspiration struck and I drifted away into my own zone. This track was born and completed in just one hour.

Dreaming

For this week’s Friday Techno Drop, I created something a little more introspective.
"DUALITY" is an emotional ride—carried by lush synths, cosmic textures, and a warm, reflective tone that unfolds across two distinct halves.

The first half leans into a dreamy break beat groove, spacious and atmospheric, with acid-laced touches weaving through the mix. As the track progresses, it morphs into a powerful 4/4 techno pulse—grounded, hypnotic, and deeply expressive.

I hope everybody enjoys it on their way to the weekend, big hug from _DR_REIN🪐🖤

DUALITY

A rare mix from one of the UK's most singular artists.
