Shanti Celeste

For its fifth release, BRSTL continues on its mission to unearth fresh and exciting artists from Bristol's 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.
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.
