Dan Snaith's last album as Caribou came in 2014, but his Daphni moniker has been largely silent since the release of Jiaolong in 2012. Now, loads of new material is on the way from the producer in the form of a new FabricLive mix.
Daphni's FabricLive 93 is set to arrive on July 21. In piecing together the mix, Snaith has pulled together 23 original, previously unreleased Daphni tracks, in addition to four new Daphni edits.
In a press release, Snaith explained his decision to put together a FabricLive mix stemmed from going to the legendary Fabric nightclub "maybe 10 or 15 times over the years" to see legendary electronic producer/DJ Ricardo Villalobos play.
Snaith had this to say about putting the album together:
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.
