Resista is a new disco edit label operating out of London.

The first limited edition 12″ release is by Daphni, an alias of Dan Snaith AKA Caribou. It’s the second Daphni-related offering to be announced this month, following news of a split 12″ with Four Tet on Text Records. Entitled Daphni Edits Vol.1, it’s comprised of two bootleg versions by Snaith. The sales notes tell us more:

“On the A-side, we are treated to a mournful yet essentially upbeat afro-workout with some exquisite guitar melodies interlocking with the characteristic vocal. To be filed under ‘Chimurenga’, the Zimbabwean popular music genre based on traditional Shona Mbira music, but played with modern electric instrumentation and lyrics providing social and political commentary.

“On the flipside, Daphni delves even deeper into worlds unknown, with a re-fix of an ultra-obscure mid-80s Dutch outfit that sounds like the bastard European offspring of Liquid Liquid.”

Check out clips of all three tracks here. The 12″ is out now.
