This episode of the RA Exchange originally ran in 2022.

Shanti Celeste is one of those artists whose personality matches her DJ style. Her fun-loving nature and breezy demeanour always light up a room, as do her vibrant sets that span sunny house music, slow-burning disco and emotive techno—just revisit her RA podcast for a reminder. Fresh off her Hessle Audio debut, the London-based artist sat down with Martha Pazienti-Caidan for an honest chat about track selection, bad gigs and her approach to production.

During DJ sets, the Peach Discs co-founder doesn’t like to focus on genres. Instead, "I think about, like, building and releasing tension and making sure that I stay in a specific energy level," she explained. "Whereas before, I think I knew the energy I wanted to bring, but I didn't know how to do that cause I was just thinking about everything in terms of genre."

Reaching this holistic stage, however, took time. It was a process of acquiring knowledge and experience but also confidence, she described, adding how she previously had "really bad imposter syndrome." Learning to recognise that certain factors might be outside an artist’s control is essential to self-realisation, she continued. Recounting her experience of playing big festival stages, she noted the importance of "learning what side of yourself to channel" rather than compromise on music.

For more details on her experience playing with fellow women DJs, her lockdown romance and recording her vocals, listen to the discussion in full.

Live recording of my 2nd room performance at the Kajunga World stage for a midwest festival in July 2024.

RIYL 90s Jungle, IDM, Aphex Twin, ACID

This set was influenced by a Grant Wilson-Claridge (half of Rephlex Records) dj set for an early 2000s Rephlex label tour. Grant closed the night with ragga jungle and AFX Acid Jungle.

This is my attempt at connecting the dots across current Jungle styles in a mostly deep zone from 3XL to Future Retro / Tim Reaper to Sully and experimental regions between before the AFX drill n bass rinse out finish.

This set idea has been stewing in my brain for 20 years. Mad props to Kajunga Records for giving me a platform and live audience to make this happen!

Observatory 098 - Sungate [with Baldman & Moy Santana]

Ygor’s vocation as a sonic explorer began as a DJ in 2011, embarking on an odyssey that transcends the ordinary, weaving a tapestry of transformative aural experiences. A devotee to his craft, he masterfully integrates what is new and what is known; with a strong experience as a producer in his repertoire, in the aftermath of his move to Bucharest in 2014, the fruits of his labour will leave no soul starved for novelty. At the core of his sonic identity lies the ever-present curiosity for modality and transformation, driven by the force of nature and the tribal mysticism of sacred rituals.
