Daphni, the electronic music project of Canadian musician and producer Dan Snaith, releases the new single “Good Night Baby” with an accompanying video. The track serves as the first preview of his upcoming project “Butterfly,” which is scheduled for release in early February. Snaith produced the song himself. The release will come via his own long-running label, Jiaolong. This single marks the first new material from the Daphni alias in some time, generating interest among fans of his club-focused work. Dan Snaith first gained recognition under the name Caribou, releasing a series of acclaimed albums that blend psychedelic pop, electronic experimentation, and rhythmic complexity.

His album “Our Love” received widespread praise and a Polaris Music Prize shortlist nomination. The Daphni project allows Snaith to explore more direct, dancefloor-oriented creations, distinct from the sometimes more introspective Caribou output. His debut Daphni album “Jiaolong” named for his label, established this vein of his creativity. The follow-up, “Cherry,” further developed his reputation for crafting intricate, propulsive house and techno tracks. The title “Good Night Baby” and its timing ahead of a February project suggests a vibe or theme for the upcoming collection. A four-minute runtime is standard for a club track, allowing for groove development. Releasing a video alongside the single indicates a visual component to the rollout, though Daphni’s work often prioritizes abstract or conceptual visuals over narrative.

The Jiaolong label has been Snaith’s outlet for self-released music and select collaborations for years, giving him complete autonomy. This new single signals a reactivation of the Daphni project, following periods where his creative energy focused on Caribou records and live performances. For followers of contemporary electronic music, a new Daphni track represents a notable event, given Snaith’s consistent track record for quality and innovation within dance genres. The “Butterfly” project title may hint at themes of transformation or delicate beauty, common conceptual touchstones in electronic music.
