If you like your electronic music meticulously crafted by a man with a PhD in maths, look no further than Caribou, one of three aliases of Canada鈥檚 Dan Snaith. Recognised as one of this century鈥檚 best producers, Snaith began recording as Manitoba in 2001 before switching to Caribou in 2005 and later also using the name Daphni for a more out-and-out dance album, Jiaolong, in 2012.
Three of Caribou鈥檚 albums are classics - 2007鈥檚 Andorra, Swim from 2010 and last year鈥檚 Our Love - and he鈥檚 a fine DJ, too. He performed a luscious Bedtime Mix for Annie Mac last year, then a Radio 1 Essential Mix that was Mixmag鈥檚 best Essential Mix of 2014. Live, as anyone who saw him in the 6 Music Big Top at Bestival last summer will remember, he takes you on an wild, original journey into a broad spectrum of sound, often with a full band. Glastonbury is lucky to have him back for his first appearance since 2011.
