Caribou

"I guess I’ve been really lucky."

Two dates locked in for Sydney and Melbourne

Caribou records an unforgettable set; covering house, soul, rap and psych-rock.. BBC Radio 1 is one dance music’s most iconic brands, and the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix is one of the world’s most loved and listened-to mix shows, and continues to hold respect despite the explosion of many more mix-based radio shows. It allows DJs and producers to really flex their muscles, demonstrate their versatility, and make expansive and memorable mixes, often full of unreleased tracks and exclusive dubs. Any producer who gets selected for an Essential Mix usually goes out of their way to record an unforgettable set. Given this context, we did a little jump of excitement when we saw who the latest contributor to the esteemed mix series was: London-based Canadian producer Caribou (who also DJs/produces under the name Daphni), whose incredible new record Our Love has been given a veritable thrashing in this corner since its release a few weeks back and has already been touted by many music critics as

"Our Love is a pleasure from start to finish"

One of the year's most anticipated albums gets another single.. A couple of months ago Caribou dropped the first taste from his upcoming album release in Can't Do Without You, which was met with super excitement - one friend said it sounded like Caribou by way of David Guetta, and that he really loved it. I'm not sure what kind of praise that is, but he's one of the biggest Caribou fans that I know, so let's go with positive. Well he's now dropped the title track - Our Love - and it's another indication of where Dan Snaith is heading in 2014 - rave town. Caribou's sound has always had elements of house and techno, but it was always fairly restrained. Our Love feels like he's really going for it, and goddamn I'm fucking excited. That drop is anything. Enjoy below. Get it and Can't Do Without You when you pre-order the album HERE - it's due October 4. Hype hype fucking hype. Follow Caribou: FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD
