Barry Can’t Swim
Barry Can't Swim (aka Josh Mainnie) is a Scottish musician, producer and DJ who emerged from Edinburgh's underground scene, creating a bright, euphoric brand of dance music that feels unmistakably his own.
His breakout album 'Loner' and follow-up 'When Will We Land?' earned Mercury Prize and BRIT nominations, marking him as one of dance music's most distinctive new voices, an artist who can turn a club record into something cinematic.
From championing emerging electronic music through his Earth's Only Paradise imprint to delivering the first Late Night Tales instalment in five years, as well as headlining and curating lineups for London’s All Points East & Manchester's Warehouse Project, Barry Can't Swim has become a defining force in electronic music.
Barry Can’t Swim signed to Atlantic Records in 2026 with his major label debut expected in 2027.
