Sub Club & Optimo present Daphni (4hr Set)
The Sub Club and Optimo are delighted to welcome Daphni to the Sub Club on Sunday November 3rd for a 4 hour dj set. This will be Daphni’s first ever Scottish appearance and one of only three UK dates he is playing in 2013.
Daphni is the alter ego of Dan Snaith, aka Caribou. Little needs said about Caribou whose seminal recordings and live performances have captivated people’s hearts. Daphni is the more explicitly dancefloor side of Caribou where Snaith gets to explore his love of tribal rhythms, psychedelic synthesisers and entrancing grooves. A series of releases on his Jiaolong label, several stellar remixes and the club classic “Ye Ye” have cemented his reputation as one of the top producers in electronic music, one who is not afraid to break out of the often conservative nature of much dance music and create music that will move a crowd while sounding highly distinctive and original.
His dj sets follow a similar path embracing wild party sounds ranging from the greatest lost African synth records to wild free jazz, intergalactic techno and life affirming house music. Fearless, exciting, mind-blowing and never boring, a Daphni dj set is a sonic delight for those who love to dance and open their ears and hearts to genuinely amazing music. We are supremely excited about this night and look forward to giving Mr. Snaith a very warm Glasgow welcome.
DOORS OPEN at 22:30 for 11pm Start
