Daphni (aka Caribou, aka Dan Snaith) has announced his first full body of work under the moniker since 2012’s critically acclaimed JIAOLONG album and most recently Caribou’s seminal standout 2014 album Our Love. It comes in the form of a very special FABRICLIVE mix composed of 23 original, unreleased Daphni tracks and four new Daphni edits. To celebrate the announcement, Daphni has shared the first track to come from the mix, ‘Face To Face’. Opening with tight, minimal percussion and a playfully funk-infused bassline, ‘Face To Face’ builds grand echoing loops into a statement of intent on the dancefloor ready nature of the mix.

Daphni was originally born out of a desire to make more immediate music, working fast and capturing the energy of those moments in smaller club spaces Dan found when touring and DJing with Caribou early on. Growing into bigger rooms and impressive line ups such as his recent night at London’s Printworks with Floating Points, Joy Orbison, Gold Panda and more; wherever he may now play, the ethos remains the same. As a result the second full body of Daphni work (containing more original material than has been released to date in total) finding it’s home inside of this mix makes perfect sense.
