His first new music of 2026, the euphoric and emotionally charged ‘Return To Bhibo’ serves as the perfect reminder of everything that makes Barry Can’t Swim essential to contemporary dance music. The track arrives on the heels of two huge US festival performances at Lightning In A Bottle and Movement last weekend.
‘Return to Bhibo’ ushers in a defining new chapter for Barry Can’t Swim as the first release in an exciting new partnership with Atlantic Records.
Barry Can’t Swim has cemented himself as one of electronic music’s key figures, selling out headline shows across the globe whilst delivering defining performances at major international festivals. Last year, he headlined and curated London’s All Points East, delivering a landmark edition that quickly became regarded as one of the most defining days in the festival’s history.
Early this year, the Edinburgh-born producer and DJ contributed the first installment in five years to the prestigious ‘Late Night Tales’ series as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations.
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.
His cultural impact extends beyond music, spilling into sport and fashion through a recent collaboration with the Scotland men’s national football team and Adidas Originals; his track ‘Deadbeat Gospel’ was selected as the official soundtrack for the squad’s highly anticipated FIFA World Cup 2026 announcement film, narrated by Ewan McGregor.
