Daphni, Dan Snaith, who also records as Caribou, has announced Butterfly (Expanded Edition). The album will drop on September 25, 2026 via the artist’s imprint Jiaolong. Today, he also shares Kelbin’s remix of “Sad Piano House” and opens pre-sale for a limited 12″, out September 18, which pairs it with Kelbin’s remix of “Cloudy” from Daphni’s previous album, 2022’s Cherry.

The expanded edition pairs the album he released on February 6 with a second disc of 13 tracks: seven new Daphni productions, led by “Catch 23”; with additional remixes by Kelbin, Aasthma, Peder Mannerfelt and BRUX; and extended and beatless mixes of “Sad Piano House.”

Dan Snaith says on the expanded edition:

“Even as I was finishing up the final master of Butterfly, I was making lots more music to play out that felt like it lived in the same world and was in the same vein. And so adding them to an expanded version made a lot of sense.”

“Also, the remixes on this expanded version all came out of nice personal connections. There’s the Kelbin remix that is sort of a companion to his Cloudy remix from the previous Daphni album. There’s the Peder Mannerfelt and Aasthma remixes, which came out of me buying a bunch of Peder’s tracks on Bandcamp and him getting in touch. And there’s the BRUX remix, which came about through meeting her at a Fred again.. show in New York that we both played at and realizing that we had met 10 years earlier in Australia when she was just starting out, aspiring to get into music. That’s really the only time that I think about commissioning remixes, is when there’s a nice personal connection between someone whose music I admire and the music that I’ve made.”

Snaith has been consistent about what the Daphni records are for, and the additions follow the same logic:

“Daphni music is still music that I’m making primarily for the purpose of playing in my DJ sets. The majority of the tracks on this record I do play regularly in my sets. But then there are a bunch – slower, weirder – that I don’t usually play… or wait… maybe the point is that I’d only play them in the right club.”

The club he had in mind is Open Ground in Wuppertal, Germany, where he played works in progress of nearly every track on Butterfly while finishing it, and where he returns on October 3, closing out the run of North American dates he plays this September.
