DaphniLondon

Last year’s late-night set left the room changed and it turns out the feeling was mutual. Dan Snaith, known to the world as Caribou and, under his club alias, as Daphni, has named that very night at Open Ground among the defining influences behind his new album Butterfly, released this February. In interviews, Snaith described the club as close to his ideal listening room a space built with obsessive care for sound, and for the people in it. That night is woven into Butterfly itself: sixteen tracks that blur the line between his two aliases more than ever before, driven by pure dancefloor instinct. Now Daphni comes back to the club that helped shape the record a full-circle set, built for the room that inspired it.

Both artists have a home at Príncipe Discos one of Europe’s most exciting record labels. The label's co-founder José Moura says batida blew his mind the first time he heard it: "We couldn't pinpoint it. We thought, this is really something we've never heard before. It's not techno, it's not house, it's nothing that we know about.” Originating in Luanda, Angola, it evolved into a vibrant underground movement in the suburbs of Lisbon, Portugal, driven by 140 BPM rhythms blending traditional Angolan and Cape Verdean styles (like kuduro, tarraxinha, funaná, and semba) with modern techno and house production.
