Late Night Tales Presents After Dark: Nightshift is a DJ mix album by Bill Brewster for Late Night Tales which is the second from the After Dark spinoff series, released by Night Time Stories on 8 July 2014. Similar to the first entry, Nightshift is a downtempo DJ-led club-oriented mix based on the sounds of nu-disco and funk.[1][3] It features artists such as Typesun, Kirk Degiorgio, Robert Fripp & The Grid, and Justus Köhncke, among others.

Resident Advisor's Bruce Tantum wrote, "Nightshift is stuffed with great tunes, but the real joy is Brewster's sequencing. He builds the set with a studied patience, its pleasures coming more as subtle hills than obvious peaks and valleys."[2] Andy Beta of Pitchfork wrote, "The novelty of the Late Night Tales series of compilations stems in part from hearing what bands themselves like to hear, but in tapping dance curator Bill Brewster for a second compilation in as many years, Late Night Tales’ newest iteration of the series has a proper selector at the helm. Nightshift pulls from the late-‘00s era of nu-disco, offering the slightest variations of a restricted sonic palette."[3]
