Daphni (aka Dan Snaith of Caribou) has announced a new album of 23 unreleased tracks and four edits for the fabriclive series. His first full-length since 2012’s Jiaolong is out July 21. Listen to “Face to Face” from the record below, and find the full tracklist here. Snaith said in a press release that the collaboration with Fabric was inspired by “ten or fifteen” visits to the club, mostly “to see Ricardo Villalobos play.” He added, “I’m always drawn to the eccentrics in each field of music and I love that a club like fabric, that is such a mainstay of London’s clubbing landscape, is also the de facto London home of dance music’s foremost eccentric.”
In a press release, Snaith described the process of making the record:
A lot of these tracks were recorded in situ in the mix itself - I'd put one track in place and instead of searching through existing music to find the track to follow it I'd just make an entirely new one. You’d expect a DJ mix where someone made each track to follow the previous one to be very homogenous. To seem like it was planned out and build in a controlled way. I think the result is almost exactly the opposite! The tracks on here pull from very diverse ends of the spectrum of music that I like/make.
Snaith recently contributed a Daphni/Owen Pallett track to a benefit album for victims of the Oakland Ghost Ship tragedy. His most recent Caribou album, the excellent Our Love, was released in 2014.
