Scottish electronic artist Barry Can't Swim, real name Joshua Mannie, has unveiled his new single, 'Return To Bhibo', just in time for the summer festival season. The track, characterised by its vibrant and energetic sound, is already being tipped as a potential anthem for the coming months, building on the producer's reputation for crafting infectious dance music.
The release follows a period of significant growth for the Edinburgh-born DJ, who gained widespread acclaim with his debut album, 'When Will We Land?', released last year. That album showcased his distinctive blend of house, disco, and global influences, earning him a dedicated fanbase and critical praise within the electronic music scene. His rise has been marked by a knack for creating tracks that resonate both on the dancefloor and in more intimate listening settings.
'Return To Bhibo' continues this trajectory, featuring the intricate percussive elements and soaring melodies that have become hallmarks of his sound. The single arrives as Mannie prepares for a packed summer schedule, which includes appearances at numerous high-profile festivals across the UK and Europe. These dates will offer fans the opportunity to experience the new material live, alongside his established hits.
His previous work has seen considerable support from BBC Radio 1 and other key tastemakers in British music, solidifying his position as one of the most exciting talents to emerge from the UK's electronic music landscape in recent years. While he has yet to receive major industry awards such as a Brit Award or a BAFTA, his consistent output and growing popularity suggest he is a significant figure within contemporary British music.
The track is currently available on major streaming platforms in the UK, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, making it easily accessible for listeners eager to add a new summer sound to their playlists. Its release underscores the vibrant health of the UK's electronic music scene and the continued ability of British artists to produce globally resonant sounds.
