Off the back of a dreamy new album comes a bustling and colourful essential mix from Canadian native Dan Snaith aka Caribou. The mix isn’t just a personal collection of sounds curated by the man himself but packed full of exclusives from his Daphni alias, new Jamie xx as well as unreleased Nathan Fake and Floating Points.

The mix certainly matches the mood of Caribou with strong visual soundscapes filtered with loud disco cuts as well as moog-y and analog sounds with scatterings of more challenging electronic pieces never really destined for radio.

New Jamie xx is pretty special as well dropping around the 1:48:00 mark if you skip along in the mix (why would you though?). Dubbed “Idontknow” you’ll pick up on those drums we’ve come to love before a wobbly bassline and chopped vocals lead into some heavy paced action.

While surprising this is where we hear new Jamie XX, it actually makes total sense with Jamie and Caribou close friends, recently going b2b with Ben UFO (playing in Australia soon) for Floating Points’ NTS takeover to celebrate his new album late last year.

Now… to see Caribou back in Australia this year right? Check out the tracklisting and mix below.
