Daphni Edits Vol 1 vinyl

Dan Snaith aka Caribou has remained at the top of his game for over a decade thanks mostly to his chameleon-esque approach to musical styles. Last year's album Swim was rightly lauded across the board for its organic approach to techno and it's a stark contrast to his other greatest hour - Up In Flames under his previous nom de plume Manitoba. It's perhaps this recent success that's lead Snaith to adopt a new alias in Daphni, the fruits of which were first debuted on his RA podcast earlier this year. Subsequently you may recall a Daphni/Four Tet twelve surfacing (before the axis of hype operated by Radiohead and Burial took centre stage) and now we have this twelve on the newly formed Resista, which sees Snaith add his own touch to two lesser beaten tracks - the A Side being a quite hypnotic take on Thomas Mapfumo and the Blacks Unlimited's 1986 track "Shumba". This is backed with the tribal post-punk thump of "NPE" which sounds like Demdike Stare remixing Liquid Liquid and The Flirts and is dancefloor music at its simplest and most effective.
