Release date: 27th October 2008 (AZULI)

For the latest edition of the esteemed Late Night Tales compilation series, Matt Helders from The Arctic Monkeys collects together a selection of his favourite ever tracks. A more varied musical selection than you might expect, Matt has blended US and UK hip hop, dirty rock ‘n’ roll, electro and soul to create a soundtrack of what you might hear at his winding down after a night out.

Matt Helders began deejaying before he picked up sticks for The Arctic Monkeys, with big dance tunes of the day, So Solid and Dr Dre on the playlist in his bedroom set up. Having returned to the wheels of steel, this year has seen him playing at Ibiza Rocks and Field Day and also producing remixes for Artists as diverse as Roots Manuva, We Are Scientists and Duran Duran.

Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner has provided the CD’s Late Night Tale with the final track ‘A Choice Of Three’, a short story he especially wrote and narrated.

“In the tunnel I noticed I had a choice of three. While I thought it very kind of them to offer me this I do wonder if they realised what a dilemma they were sending to face me. The trouble was if I looked at your reflection in the left window I missed the actual image of you and your reflection in the right, and if I looked at the right I had the same problem the other way around.”

‘A Choice Of Three’ continues on the album!
