Dan Snaith returns to his club-focused alias with Butterfly, a 2026 release on his Jiaolong label that marks a deliberate homecoming to the raw, floor-driven energy of his earliest Daphni material. Where his previous Daphni albums Joli Mai and Cherry leaned into sophisticated harmony and song structure, Butterfly strips things back to the dancefloor, channeling sub-heavy four-on-the-floor rhythms laced with flickers of acid, dub, and jazz.
Across its 16 tracks, Butterfly showcases Snaith's range as a producer — from propulsive high-tempo house cuts to late-night mood pieces — all threaded together with skillful sample work and rhythmic experimentation. Touches of his early-90s French house influences surface throughout, while the album's ebullient, celebratory spirit bridges the gap between his two creative identities, bringing Caribou's moodier depth and Daphni's off-kilter euphoria into rare, unified focus.
