Barry Can't Swim (real name Joshua Mainnie) is a Scottish electronic music producer and DJ from Edinburgh.
[1] Barry Can't Swim released his debut EP, Amor Fati, through Shall Not Fade in July 2021,[2][3] and followed this up in 2022 with More Content [4] via Technicolour Records, a Ninja Tune imprint.
[11] Clash rated the album 9 out of 10, describing it as "varied, zeitgeisty and just plain fun", highlighting its "astonishing" attention to detail.
PopMatters ranked it as the best electronic album of 2023, calling it a "tour-de-force of 11 tracks that are so perfectly edited and composed that not a single note is wasted."
[11] Mainnie began music through piano at the age of nine, after his grandfather found a 'free to a good home' advert in the local paper.
