About Caribou
Caribou is Dan Snaith, the Canadian producer (and mathematics PhD) whose albums Swim, Our Love, and Suddenly turned hazy psychedelic pop into dancefloor material and back again. When he wants to speak directly to DJs he records as Daphni, but even the Caribou catalog is full of club-functional grooves under the falsetto and the shimmer. That dual identity makes him a rich similarity seed: the ranking below spans melodic house, electronica, and indie-dance, computed from the audio rather than from press-kit comparisons.
