Daphni - Joli Mai

Joli Mai returns as a 2025 double LP repress, offering a full-length expansion of the ideas Dan Snaith first unveiled on his acclaimed 2017 FabricLive mix. That set, made entirely of original Daphni material and a handful of exclusive edits, showcased Snaith’s club-focused alter ego at its most inventive and drew praise for its cohesiveness, energy, and sheer volume of new work.

Joli Mai builds on that momentum by presenting extended versions of the tracks featured in the mix, allowing them to stretch out, deepen, and fully inhabit the dancefloor space they were designed for. The album also includes the previously unreleased track Vulture, completing a collection that highlights Daphni’s instinctive production style and his ability to channel spontaneity into propulsive, hypnotic grooves.

Where Caribou leans meticulous and melodic, Daphni thrives on immediacy and movement, and Joli Mai captures that spirit in full. This repress offers listeners another chance to experience one of Snaith’s most kinetic and club-driven works in its ideal format.
