London based artist Steffie TIMANTI has been a bubbling figure on the underground dance scene for a minute now.
A familiar face at Ibiza’s Cafe Del Mar and DC10, TIMANTI is also a regular at festivals like The Secret Garden Party, Gottwood, Lovebox and Bestival, and can always be found residing somewhere within London’s club circuit.
Fluid and liberated from genre limitation, her sets often traverse across ambient, trial and ethnic rhythms. Making her production debut in 2014 with a four-track EP on Niwax, TIMANTI now runs the Tribelife collective, an experimental collaborative community project that nurtures various art projects and providing a supportive network for young pioneering creatives from all corners of the globe.
Welcoming her to our mix series, TIMANTI steps up with a fiery blend of techno, house and twitchy bass explorations, drawing heat from the productions of Midland, Brame & Hamo, Waal and her of course her own palette.
The next stop for TribeLife is in one of the most unique landscapes on Earth – The Sahara Desert!
Join the tribe for an adventure unlike any other, dancing under a blanket of stars to planetary rhythms – Our party will be on the Saturday night featuring Hutch & TIMANTI on the decks + much more!
2nd-5th March 2018 Beyond Sahara 2018
We have a special code for the Tribe – get in touch with us info@tribelife.global for code activation
Steffie Timanti embodies the notion of independence, stepping away from the music industry and its norms to create her own small, but perfectly formed movement of her own. Her music is deep, tribal in places and emotive, inspired by artists like Damian Lazarus and his ilk, incorporating a myriad sounds from around the globe to nurture a sound that inspires and uplifts in equal measure. It’s been a year of growth and experimentation for Timanti, so we thought she’d be a great subject for our 2017 Issue – below you’ll find an exclusive mix and a brief chat about 2017…
2017 has been another crazy year on planet Earth, what have been some of your own personal highlights?
A lot has happened this year! It’s really hard to pick one highlight as I’ve been blessed with some amazing projects! I took a risk and decided that the music industry was too oversaturated. That led to me launching my own project to take my musical career down a completely different angle in a whole other industry, focusing on community, adventure, experience, wellness and mind expansion in the form of ‘Tribelife’ & ‘TIMANTI and The Tribe’. This in turn has opened me up to several out of this world opportunities including collaborations with other likeminded tribes, including a festival called Colors of Love, in Italy, with my sisters Wild Sirenda and Beyond Archipelago; which was a self-guided festival experience held on a bunch of uninhabited islands in Sweden. I’m now a part of the Beyond Adventures team, curating the next adventure festival experience in March 2018 – Beyond Sahara – where I will be celebrating 30 years on planet Earth.
My radio shows have been a lot of fun this year too! Huge thanks to all the guests that have joined me on Pyro Radio and all the listeners, too! I was also recently invited to join the Radar Radio family too, so now I have two monthly shows, giving me the privilege to share even more exciting music from around the globe and beyond!
Which news stories (positive or negative) have really impacted on your life this year?
There seems to be a constant stream of negative news, which has really in effect made me even more grateful to wake up each morning. If you’re reading this you are a fortunate person, you are alive. I try to remember this every time I am presented with sorrow.
Have you discovered any new countries, town or cities? If so, tell us about where you went please.
Earlier this year I journeyed deep into the jungles of Mexico after I spent some time at BPM Festival. Whilst I was there and managed to persuade one of my best mates, Freddie Fiers (she’s also a DJ/Producer – check her out), to fly over from San Francisco and come on this fantasy quest with me to discover Las Pozas, a surrealist castle in the beautiful Magic Town of Xilitla. The whole experience felt like a dream! We saw elves, a clown, climbed staircases to nowhere and more. I have the imagination of a child and find places like this most inspiring. It’s now my favourite place in the whole world; in fact the opening track of the mix is called ‘Xilitla’ which I made after my trip there!
Did you start the year with any clear goals? If so, what were they and have you managed to achieve them?
I try to keep my goals as flexible as possible to allow room for adjustments and flow. This way I’m free to adapt with the ever-changing landscape of the path I’ve chosen. I have been very lucky through doing this, it has honestly led to the opening of doors that I hadn’t even imaged could be possible.
TIMANTI in action
What have you learned this year: a) About yourself? B) About the world/life in general?
I’m really sensitive and used to see this as a bad thing, however I’m now learning to embrace it and channel it into my creativity. This enables me to connect on a deeper emotion level with people through everything I do, especially through my art, music and events! It also means I’m quite tuned into energies so need to spend quite a lot of time recharging and taking care of myself. Love, health and happiness are the most important things in life, if you find beauty in the simplest things, keep focusing on the present the rest will follow!
Would you call 2017 a good or a bad year, and why?
I’ve learnt a huge amount this year! It has had it’s fall backs but I’ve chosen to use all these moments as time for growth and adaptation. Especially on a personal level having been reminded multiple times of my own morality and how precious life really is. I’ve really honed in on the fact that health and happiness are the key to a fulfilled life. I’ve spent more time with my loved ones and been blessed with some amazing opportunities which I’m very excited about. Truly, I am grateful. ‘When we turn our faces to the sun the shadows fall behind you.‘ (Slightly adapted Maori proverb).
Now that 2017 is almost over, what are your plans up until the end of the year?
I have a lot of new projects coming up which I’m really looking forward to sharing with DLTM first!
I’ll be throwing my last dance of 2017 at my favourite London venue, Grow in Hackney Wick on Friday 8th December. I’m really looking forward to playing all night long with some big surprises in store. The TIMANTI and The Tribe/Tribelife parties I’ve held at Grow this year have been some of my best nights of 2017 (THANK YOU to everyone who’s been involved – these parties are so epic because of each of you coming together to create this beautiful community which has expanded way beyond the dance floor). If you’re reading this, you’re invited! Come down and celebrate life with your tribe. It’s a free party and will be my last show in the UK before heading off to play my debut gig in Kenya, Africa at the Kilifi New Year, which I’m super excited about!
Finally, can you recommend an album or a musician or a visual artist you’ve discovered this year?
There are so many so I’m going to pick one of each! Album:Dhafer Youssef – Divine Shadows [2006] a spiritual infusion of Arabic, Jazz and Electronica, huge thanks to Rob Simpson for introducing me to this album when I was in Sweden!
Musician: I already knew about him prior to this year but Laolu has once again blown my mind with his remix of XOA – Diaspora! Watch out for this future star! Also O’Flynn! I’ve been supporting his records on my shows on Pyro & Radar Radio, another one to keep your eyes on.
Visual artist: Again not a new discovery but he’s part of the Tribelife family and continues to impress me with his expanding talents and skills – Bless Elska. Such a blessing to have him on the team… He’ll be joining me at Grow on 8th December for the final dance of 2017.
Kilifi New Year is a radically creative, three day explosion of music, arts and tropical coast culture set in the magical Kenyan coastal town of Kilifi. Incredible performers from around Africa and the world will come together to put on a unique, technicolour show as we celebrate the intersection between African and World electronic music. You can expect an unforgettable few days packed with the most exhilarating vibes the continent has to offer.
Kilifi’s white sand beaches, turquoise reef, emerald creek, and pristine old grown forests have attracted a fast growing community of ethically minded people from artists to eco-builders, ethical fashion designers to dreamers, poets and travellers – all in a peaceful partnership with a lovely local community. Every New Year, we transform this beautiful location into the venue for the most pristine, wild and intimate New Year party in the region.
The line-up is shaping up to be truly incredible so watch this space for upcoming artist announcements! We’re biting our lips to hold back from already sharing the big headliners… With music from over four continents, including Africa of-course, we’ve managed to keep audiences jamming and feeling good for days into the New Year.
Karibuni!

City of Gods EP is the primal release on TIMANTI’s new imprint TEMPLR. A concept piece based on the lost city of Atlantis and human history of our planet. Crafted with ethereal beauty, City Of Gods transports the dance floor into a explosive frenzy when it reveals it’s melodic and captivating bass line. Home reflects a more emotive side, still grooving the dance floor with it’s rhythmic drums, hypnotic strings and rich bass frequencies.
In the wake of her breakout “Don’t U” single, Steffie Timanti has had her sights set firmly on the dancefloor. With a lengthy series of sets planned for Berlin, Dubai, and her London hometown, in addition to a TIMANTI and The Tribe Ibiza residency, the DJ-producer undeniably has her work on the decks cut out for her. With the recent launch of her TEMPLR imprint and a forthcoming EP on the way, Timanti has also been amping up her hours in the studio. Entitled City of Gods, Steffie’s new EP is exploratory and lighthearted. “Home,” the closing cut, channels an innate sense of rhythm to give Timanti’s house sensibilities an organic hue. See here
TIMANTI brings her deliciously deep, tech-infused goodness to Traxsource LIVE! this week, blending the bouncing beats of Butch, Damian Lazarus, Ashworth and Kerri Chandler alongside ‘City of Gods’, the debut release on her own new label Templr, available now from Traxsource.
