Shanti Celeste announces debut album
Shanti Celeste has announced the release of her much-anticipated debut album, Tangerine, via Peach Discs. She co-runs the label with fellow Bristol affiliate Grammrcy, with whom she also curates the blockbuster dance night Housework.
The ten-track, double-disc LP has been an opportunity for the producer and DJ to explore her “personal history”. It samples a kalimba recorded at her father’s home in Chile, includes vocal snippets from Shanti herself and has artwork she designed (she did graduate from UWE with a BA in illustration, after all).

In announcing the news she said, “When I made music for EPs, sometimes I felt restricted. I would think too much about creating the moments on the dancefloor I love—seeing visions of ecstatic people hugging, I didn’t give myself free rein to express all of myself. Writing an album made me feel free of all this because it seemed like an open-ended project. I could just keep creating until I felt like stopping.”
Tangerine follows the release of ‘Soba Dance’, also on Peach Discs – a collaborative single with another Bristol DJ, Livity Sound’s Hodge. Eager house and techno fans can get a taste of what’s to come as she’s shared ‘Voz (Instrumental)’ as well as the album’s tracklist.
