Night Time Stories

Night Time Stories is an English independent record label best known for the Late Night Tales compilation series, which it has released since 2009. The series draws on artist-curated selections and has featured contributions by acts including Trentemøller, Röyksopp, Bonobo, Jon Hopkins, Bill Brewster, Groove Armada, and Floating Points. Paul Glancy founded the label in 2009 and has helmed the Late Night Tales project since 2003.

While the compilation series remains central to the label’s profile, Night Time Stories expanded its scope in 2013 to release original artist material. This move positioned the label as a home not only for curated listening narratives but also for studio releases spanning electronic music and adjacent styles. Artists associated with the label’s original output include Khruangbin, Session Victim, Leifur James, Sasha, Ash Walker, Ron Trent, Garden City Movement, and Rae & Christian, reflecting a catalogue that connects club-rooted producers with musicians working across downtempo, jazz-influenced, and song-oriented forms.

Night Time Stories’ identity is closely tied to the Late Night Tales format and its emphasis on sequencing, mood, and after-hours listening. The label’s roster and release activity indicate a broad but coherent musical focus, linking electronic and dance music lineages with eclectic, contemporary approaches. Notable artists connected with the label include Khruangbin and Franc Moody, as well as figures such as Yazz Ahmed and Bill Brewster, underscoring its reach across modern independent music and DJ culture while maintaining the compilation series as a defining thread.
