Review: Chilean-born, Bristol-based Shanti Celeste has always brought a unique colour and emotion to her often bass-heavy sounds. She's a party-starting DJ, too, but delves into whole new realms with her wonderful sophomore full-length. Romance sees her exploring themes of love and friendship through shimmering pop textures and emotionally resonant songwriting. Her vocals take centre stage for the first time and lead single 'Thinking About You' is a heartfelt tribute to a late friend with a glowing groove and airy falsetto. Crafted between Bristol and London, the album features collaborations with Batu and harpist Miriam Adefris, whose delicate touch enhances its celestial tone and following last summer's acclaimed 'Ice Cream Dream Boy,' Romance is a luminous return and smart evolution.

Review: ZHU is something of an album specialist. This latest full-length, Grace, represents his fourth overall and is a rather special triple vinyl affair on heavyweight wax. It comes some two and a half years after his last back in December 2021 and arrives once more via Astralwerks. The GRAMMYr-nominated artist has revealed that he recorded most of this one in his hometown of San Francisco at the celebrated Grace Cathedral, which is where it gets its name. He also worked with others at points, including Devault and BabyJake on his first album single 'Revelations'. This one has already performed well and claimed a spot on Rolling Stone's list of "All The Songs You Need To Know This Week" upon release.

Review: ZHU is renowned for his albums, and his latest, Grace, marks his fourth release. This deluxe version of it (the standard version is also available with us) is a triple vinyl edition on heavyweight red-coloured wax with a special booklet. It comes two and a half years after his December 2021 album and the GRAMMYr-nominated artist has revealed that he recorded most of it in his hometown of San Francisco, specifically at the iconic Grace Cathedral, thereby inspiring its title. Collaborations on the album include Devault and BabyJake, with the first single, 'Revelations,' earning a spot on Rolling Stone's "All The Songs You Need To Know This Week."
