Shanti Celeste - Cutie / ShimmerHessle Audio welcomes long time friend Shanti Celeste to the label for the first time. 'Cutie' rolls out at a fast pace; it's a house banger in Shanti's unique style a bouncing bassline, ethereal pads and her own gated vocals combine to light up dancefloors around the world. 'Shimmer' makes explicit Shanti's love of UK garage, contrasting a propulsive two step rhythm with circular melodic synth lines which dance around each other for the duration.

A cocktail with out-of-the-ordinary gradations is a prerogative of the Grand Hotel

What to expect on this one

the blueprint for the EP’s R&B

for experiencing those tempting delights hidden in the grooves and crevices between space and time

joyous vocal harmonies dance around grooving basslines
