Truancy Volume 291: Danielle

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. Fresh off her Hessle Audio debut, the London-based artist sat down with RA's 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 deal with bad gigs and recognising that certain factors might be outside an artist’s control are essential to self-realisation, she continued. Going on to discuss 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 chat in full.

Dan Only is a Toronto based musician, producer and recording artist, and one half of Cloudsteppers; a collaborative project with fellow Toronto based artist Ciel who released their debut record on X-Kalay earlier this year. Danny contributes the third mix in the X-Kalay mix series and delivers a seamless blend joining the dots between steppy UKG, Dubstep, UK bass and even a splash of contemporary trance for good measure ;)

Lush and evocative, this mix from LUXE evokes a certain sense of wonder.

Built exclusively from the London-based DJ, producer and composer's own productions, it's a classy set from a rising artist, who draws from both her classical background and her more endeavours in electronic music across a spread of tracks that maintain a danceable through-line.

Crack Mix 479: LUXE

Jay Carder’s unique blend of UK bass, techno and breaks has seen her come into her own in 2022 and we’re super excited to welcome her for Tapes #82.

This year she’s had sell-out headline shows in the UK and further afield in India and Istanbul; as well as debut sets at Glastonbury, Gottwood, Westival and London’s Fold. A true lover of radio, Jay covers a length and breadth of sounds on air, from club bangers for The Dance Show on Rinse, to UK bass for Kaizen on NTS, and underground Indian trip hop on Soho Radio.  

Jay Carder’s unique connection to the dance floor is key to her energy and ethos. She started her promoter/DJ journey 8 years ago throwing events with collective 4 To The Floor London, which attracted house dancers, hustlers, b-boys, voguers, waackers and other dance styles from Paris, Japan, Berlin and major dance cities from around the world. She is now a resident and promoter for Birmingham-born, London-based Voyage events, and runs her own club series ‘House of Carder’, which has seen sold out shows with Bruce, Breaka, Dr Banana and K-Lone.
