shanti celeste presents new dancefloor magic.

while she may be based in berlin now, shanti celeste has deep roots within idle hands. from working behind the counter when the shop first opened to playing the label parties and co-running the neighbouring brstl label, shanti s contributions to the bristol house music scene have been ever-increasing as she has grown as an artist. having put out our her second ever 12inch,days like this, back in 2014, it gives us great pleasure to welcome her back as an internationally respected producer with a relentless gig schedule and a rich back catalogue of warm, heartfelt dance music that kicks where it counts. shanti s stylistic palette may have broadened over the past four years, but she s also retained a natural, unpretentious quality in her tracks that can span all manner of grooves and tempos. make time certainly chimes with her earliest house productions, but it s also offset by a wistful, meditative maturity. swooping pads, distant vocal threads and delicate fragments of breakbeat flirting in an aqueous soundscape whatever city shes based in now, this is surely deep house infused with a quintessential bristol ruffness. -thoughts- meanwhile speaks more to the artistic development shanti has undergone over the past few years, bearing the influence of melodic techno, electro and broken beat while striking a unique chord in the process. it s a hypnotic, alluring track that eschews basic dancefloor demands in favour of a more intimate headspace shaped out by snaking, polyrhythmic synth lines. both make time and thoughts stretch out over extended running times all the better for losing yourself in the heady atmosphere shanti has created on her very welcome return to idle hands.

label friends call super and shanti celeste on this second 10 year anniversary 12- for dekmantel 8 to follow tip! five years after their first event, dekmantel records saw the light of day. over the course of 2017 the label will release ten eps from artists that are close to their hearts, artists that have shaped dekmantel into what it is today and producers who never fail to inspire them. each ep comes in an unique full-color printed inner-sleeve, housed in a glossy outer-sleeve with logo punch out. shinkwrapped, stickered and pressed on 180 grams vinyl.

dope two tracker on shanti celeste s newly ripened peach discs from the lady herself tip!shanti - i started peach discs because i feel like the time is right. i want to release music that makes me happy and build a little family with all my friends and friends of friends who i know are making great music. i also want this to eventually be my main home for releases. in the future there will be releases by a new bristol duo called fred and a 12 by samuel as well as many others of course! the first release, by yours truly, has an emotional and energetic breaksy number on the a side and the b side is a more striped down-ish, tough and bass heavy cut with some vocal samples. both full of twinkly melodies and arpeggios as per usual! enjoy

shanti celeste steps up with a full ep after her amazing strung up track from the recent future times compilation vibe 3. big tip! she uses the full a side for the killer being, a nasty dancelfoor cut that balances sleek, precision drum patterns with cool, showerdown melodies that haunt the feet and the mental. the b side starts off like a lost cbs slow burn cut with good spirits, an exercise in machine romance, and ends with an ambient mix of the a side, to drift off into space with. shanti is on.

the mighty shanti celeste makes her debut for apron, backed by a killer edit from the one and only funkineven on the flipside.

for brstls first release of 2015 label boss shanti celeste steps up with two impeccable dance floor cuts. the last year has seen growing attention being paid to shanti celestes djing and production. with two sell out 12 inches for idle hands and brstl, plus a well received ra podcast and a packed dj schedule she is set to be big in 2015. here she presents two tracks, *moods* is a bubbling, warm spirited house jam and *lumi* is a heads down techno stomper. another great release on brstl.

broadwalk are proud to welcome shanti celeste to the label, making her debut with 3 slices of melodically rich techno, electro and house. bristol-based but chilean born, shanti has previously released on idle hands, as well as working behind the counter at the record store in stokes croft

for its fifth release, brstl continues on its mission to unearth fresh and exciting artists from bristols electronic music scene, this time showcasing the debut release from idle hands employee shanti celeste. regular clubgoers in the city will have almost certainly heard her display her penchant for heavily swung rhythms in her dj sets, and her 12-inch for brstl manages to distil this passion into two elegantly produced house music groovers. recently unveiled on outboxxs podcast for resident advisor, the soulful new jersey-esque skip of >need your lovin< (baby) takes up the a-side, its gliding rhodes chords and playful melodies being propelled by a tough and irresistably funky beat that kerri himself would be proud of. over on the flipside, >result!< offers up a more heads-down vibe, channelling those swung beats into an upbuilding, synth-smeared house jam.

bristol is a tight knit place and there has always been a healthy culture of collaboration in the city, lmye (lend me your ears) are the latet in that tradition. two friends who met, and for a period recorded above the idle hands shop on stokes croft. they made their debut on funkineven’s apron label earlier in 2016 with the ‘cali 76’. here they keep things closer to home with a release on idle hands.
‘manhattan’ is as indebted to ’70s us funk as it is to ’90s uk garage. a house tune that has turned heads on the various mixes it has found itself on over the last year.
