Late Night Tales is a UK-based mixtape series that asks bands to delve into their own music collections to make a playlist tied together only by the theme “late nights.” Röyksopp are the latest act to join series alumni from MGMT to Belle and Sebastian, and their awesome-sounding, diverse mix opens with an exclusive new song, “Daddy’s Groove.” You can sample it now: all minimalist layers and abstracted, heavily-edited vocals, it sounds like our favorite Röyksopp material, by which we mean like the soundtrack to your next space voyage. Check it out.
