To celebrate the Tate Modern's Electric Dreams: Art and Technology Before the Internet, rising DJ Shanti Celeste picks ten tracks that capture what she took away from the landmark exhibition.
Shanti Celeste’s curated playlist is a deep, dreamy glide through the sonic textures that echo the mood of Electric Dreams. Her selection traces the emotional undercurrents of the exhibition – from Kraftwerk’s synthetic precision on ‘Computer World 2’ to the lush, atmospheric warmth of Susumu Yokota’s ‘Blue Sky and Yellow Sunflower’. There’s a hypnotic balance here: shimmering electro, ambient techno, and 2000s-era electronica that feel both futuristic and nostalgic. For Shanti, music and visual art blur into one immersive experience: this playlist is her personal soundtrack to the exhibition’s analogue past and digital horizon.
