If it's a hefty dose of energy and fun you're in the market for, then there's really no need to look any further than Shanti Celeste.

As a DJ, producer and general human being, she oozes these emotions from her very pores. It's hard to not have a smile on your face when you're watching her play; her sets are chock full of bouncy, vibrant, life-giving house and techno.

The London-based Chilean cut her teeth as a DJ in Bristol, furthering her musical education through working at Idle Hands, and putting her stamp on the city's nightlife scene with Housework; the night that she started (and continues to run) with pals and fellow DJs Daisy Moon, Gramrcy and Golesworthy.

Unsurprisingly the motive of purely having fun remains central to these sporadic soirees, and is a sentiment that extends to her productions too. Shanti steers clear of making music when she's feeling sad or angry, and as a result her productions are full of energy and joy, just like the output of those who've made a home on Peach Discs, the imprint she runs alongside fellow Housework co-founder Gramrcy.

Since launching the pair have put out releases from the likes of Call Super, Ciel, Chekov and Peach, as well as rallying friends and family for their Peach Pals VAs, and it looks as though there's plenty more to keep tabs on this year.

Last summer, at We Out Here festival, we were joined deep in the woods on our Ransom Note stage by Shanti, sandwiched between sets from Al Wootton and Batu. In signature fashion she jacked the fun levels up to 10 and treated us to a set we're not gonna forget in a hurry - lucky for you lovely lot we're sharing that live recording today... Here's that Monday energy you're in need of!

Peach's DJ bio simply reads: "Ball of energy." And that's exactly what she brings each and every time. The Toronto-born, London-based DJ has made high impact, thrillingly eclectic sets an art form in the last few years having first started to turn heads with her brilliantly broad radio shows on NTS. Her dynamism also carries over into the music she has produced for labels like Midland's Intergraded and Shanti Celeste and Gramrcy's Peach Discs. 

Peach's signature passionate style runs all the way through this week's mix. From the flurry of jungle breakbeats that open it up to the prickly bass, frenetic club rhythms and euphoric rave of the midpoint, it's an unrelenting ride. The second half becomes more spaced out, with roomier cuts and hypnotic grooves carrying you through the night and into the next morning.

"The concept for this mix was to recreate the types of sets that I've been playing recently in small intimate nightclubs from 5am onwards. The types of places where the only purpose is to get your head down and dance. It's kind of tripped out, deep and skippy. I feel as a DJ I have many avenues I go down but this is undoubtedly my absolute favourite flavour to play.

Our goal with Body Movements is that it is representative of the full – as much as possible – spectrum of the queer community within clubbing culture. We have a broad and diverse music policy and represent a wide range of sexual identities, cultures and ethnicities." - @saoirsemusic

Truancy Volume 296: Jennifer Loveless

Butter Sessions is one of those labels that can go absolutely anywhere and still make sense because theres an element that tags it down to the ears of Sleep D aka Maryos Syawish and Corey Kikos. The two label heads behind the absolutely iconic institution straight outta Melbourne, Australia have worked with aritsts like Roza Terenzi, D.Tiffany, Tornado Wallace, Yuzo Iwata and more creating a platform for upcoming and solidly established artists to broaden their sound and explore into the unknown. Like the artists they represent Sleep D as DJ's and producers have touched all sides of the club and eclectic spectrum having dropped many anthem filled 12's(including a very solid LP on Anthony Naples' Incienso) as well as experimental outings on labels like Play On Records. 
For Off The Record #37 Syawish and Kikos have dropped us straight into the elements of the main room. A smoke machine filled warehouse of house, techno, bass and percussive club rolling excursions. Strap yourself in(or don't?). 
We had a quick chat with Sleep D about the mix, the Melbourne scene and Butter Sessions and more!
