The first Daphni album of shape-shifting works is titled JIAOLONG (pronounced JOW-long) and will be released on Dan’s own imprint (also called Jiaolong). JIAOLONG sits easily with the kinetic likes of Theo Parrish and Floating Points and is sure to be seen as one of the best records of 2012, both in the dance community and beyond. Gatefold 2LP while stocks last. Throughout Caribou’s ongoing world tour, Dan has been hitting club nights in each city, DJing into the wee hours in search of that sweet spot. “DJs have the potential to blindside you,” Snaith says. “During the time I was making the Caribou album Swim, I’d fallen back in love with moments in small, dark clubs when a DJ puts on a piece of music that not only can you not identify, but that until you heard it you could not have conceived of existing.” Inspired to work in a completely different way—setting aside the meticulous compositional rigors and musical layers that underpin Caribou songs—Dan Snaith-as-Daphni reaches out for a more feminine, fluid energy and seeks instant gratification. “Daphni tracks are rough and spontaneous,” he explains. “They’re about working fast and intuitively, capturing the manic energy needed to start a track one afternoon, have it finished, and be playing it in a club that night.” Daphni’s debut was a re-imagining of Cortney Tidwell’s “Watusii” in 2009. Wrapping her vocal in a gloriously layered and tripped out 14-minute bundle of joy that snuck up gently, grew relentlessly, and left listeners dizzy and euphoric, this musical template has been locked in place ever since. Who says man cannot squeeze soul from machines? Acclaimed remixes of Hot Chip and Emeralds have followed, while the first proper Daphni track was a split 12-inch with Four Tet in the form of “Ye Ye,” a subby and plundering tune that positively screams for an open window to cool down. It was and still is a blistering opening gambit, as was the follow-up 12-inch “Ne Noya,” his mix of Cos-Ber-Zam with its superb aquatic rumblings. This release also featured the acidic soulful throb of “Yes, I Know” and the Afro-centric synth-haze that is “Jiao.” “Electronic instruments are notoriously uncontrollable, unpredictable, and recalcitrant!” Snaith says ruefully. “I’ve been building a modular synthesizer, which plays a prominent role on this album. It growls or screams when I don’t expect it to. Nudging one dial changes the sound so drastically that I’ll never get the original sound back. It’s like improvising with another musician, and its voice is all over this music.” Exclusive tracks from this essential collection include the bubbling rat-a-tat of “Light,” the perfect synergy of percussive zing and computer flash in “Pairs,” the Pterodactyl-swing of “Springs,” and the undulating finale of “Long.” “I’ve been surprised by the number of transcendent moments I, sober and in my mid-30s, have had in clubs in the last few years,” Dan says. “There’s some magic in it still. The clichés about the collective consciousness of clubs still seems to hold water in some special cases. There is a small world where dance music lives up to its potential to liberate, surprise, and innovate. It’s there that I hope Daphni has a place.” Artist Daphni (Caribou) Genre Electronica , Rock And Pop Label Jiaolong Buying Options 2LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 2LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 01 Yes, I Know 02 Cos-Ber-Zam – Ne Noya (Daphni Mix) 03 Ye Ye 04 Light 05 Pairs 06 Ahora 07 Jiao 08 Springs 09 Long Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Daphni (Caribou) and more from Electronica View Product Quick View Daphni (Caribou) Cherry Electronica | Jiaolong | 2LP Released 7th October 2022 £19.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Daphni (Caribou) Cherry £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Jiaolong SKU: JIAOLONG024LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 7th October 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Daphni (Caribou) Joli Mai Electronica | Jiaolong | 2LP Released 17th November 2017 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Daphni (Caribou) Joli Mai £15.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Jiaolong SKU: JIAOLONG022LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 17th November 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grandbrothers All The Unknown Electronica | City Slang | 2LP Released 15th January 2021 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grandbrothers All The Unknown £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: City Slang SKU: SLANG50330LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 15th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Green Child, The The Green Child Electronica | Upset The Rhythm | 180g, 1LP Released 12th January 2018 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Green Child, The The Green Child £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Upset The Rhythm SKU: UTR102 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 12th January 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pole Tempus Remixes Electronica | Mute | 12", Single Released 24th November 2023 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pole Tempus Remixes £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mute SKU: 12MUTE661 Formats: 12", Single Released Date: 24th November 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hannah Peel Fir Wave Electronica | My Own Pleasure | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th March 2021 £ Select options Hannah Peel Fir Wave £ Genre: Electronica Label: My Own Pleasure Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th March 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Various Artists Kitsuné Maison 18 Electronica | Kitsune | 2LP Released 18th November 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists Kitsuné Maison 18 £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Kitsune SKU: LPA065 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 18th November 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Kruder & Dorfmeister Kruder & Dorfmeister DJ Kicks Electronica | !K7 Recordings | 2LP Released 15th May 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Kruder & Dorfmeister Kruder & Dorfmeister DJ Kicks £22.00 Genre: Electronica Label: !K7 Recordings SKU: K7046LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 15th May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pendulum The Reworks Electronica | Earstorm | 2LP Released 29th June 2018 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pendulum The Reworks £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Earstorm SKU: 0190296956584 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 29th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pye Corner Audio The Endless Echo Electronica | Ghost Box | 1LP Released 5th April 2024 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Pye Corner Audio The Endless Echo £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Ghost Box SKU: GBX045LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Laibach LOVE IS STILL ALIVE Electronica | Mute | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 3rd March 2023 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Laibach LOVE IS STILL ALIVE £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Mute SKU: 12MUTE653 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 3rd March 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Justice Planisphere Electronica | Because Music | 1LP, Etched Released 25th November 2022 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Justice Planisphere £16.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Because Music SKU: BEC5610968 Formats: 1LP, Etched Released Date: 25th November 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
