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 Clark In Camera Electronica | Throttle Records | 1LP Released 13th September 2024 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Clark In Camera £24.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Throttle Records SKU: LPTHROT009 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th September 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Original Soundtrack Golden Axe I & II Electronica | Data Disc | 180g, 1LP Released 2nd December 2016 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Original Soundtrack Golden Axe I & II £25.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Data Disc SKU: DATA7 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 2nd December 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alex Somers Siblings Electronica | Krunk | 2LP Released 16th April 2021 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alex Somers Siblings £28.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Krunk SKU: 0190296810152 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 16th April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Konx-om-Pax Ways Of Seeing Electronica | Planet Mu | 2LP Released 14th June 2019 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Konx-om-Pax Ways Of Seeing £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Planet Mu SKU: ZIQ404 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sunareht Youth EP Electronica | Lucky Me | 12", EP/Mini Album Released 2nd February 2024 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sunareht Youth EP £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Lucky Me SKU: LM095EP Formats: 12", EP/Mini Album Released Date: 2nd February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Matthew Bourne Moogmemory Electronica | Leaf | 1LP, Includes CD Released 4th March 2016 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Matthew Bourne Moogmemory £14.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Leaf SKU: BAY93V Formats: 1LP, Includes CD Released Date: 4th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bug ft Dis Fig, The In Blue Electronica | Hyperdub | 2LP Released 18th December 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bug ft Dis Fig, The In Blue £20.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Hyperdub SKU: HDBLP055 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 18th December 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Teebs Ardour Electronica | Brainfeeder | 2LP Released 11th October 2010 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Teebs Ardour £17.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Brainfeeder SKU: BF010 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 11th October 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Number Binary Electronica | Sunday Best | 1LP Released 23rd October 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Number Binary £18.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Sunday Best SKU: SBESTLP86 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd October 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ben Frost Dark: Cycle 2 Electronica | Invada | 1LP Released 29th November 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ben Frost Dark: Cycle 2 £23.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Invada SKU: LSINV233LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th November 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Electronica Start again
