Bleep

Dan Snaith gets ‘the snake to eat its own tail’ on his first album since 2017 under the dancefloor focussed Daphni alias.

The 14 tracks bear the fruits of everything we’ve come to know and love from his wide-eyed productions over the years - letting each track run wild on it’s own path. There’s infectious french-touch style of filtered samples and disco interludes on ‘Falling’ and ‘Take Two’. Soundstream style house/disco cuts like ‘Mania’ and ‘Take Two’. Single ‘Cherry’ builds a layered kaleidoscopic sugar rush of glassy synths over an urgent 134bpm kick. ‘Cloudy’ chops non-lexical vocals over skittering house production with evangelical cascading keys and ‘Flyplus’ closes the set with yearning emotive chords.

Throughout his career Dan Snaith has always managed to breathe enchanting life into synthesised forms. His latest release, Cherry, uses this talent to find a utopian residence on the dancefloor.
