Kulture Shop teams up with indie musicians

BLOT! x Rishidev RK

Gaurav Malaker and Avinash Kumar of BLOT! (Basic Love Of All Things) are big on multimedia collaborations. Rishidev RK, creative director at Wieden + Kennedy, Delhi, uses elements from BLOT!’s video game to create a collage full of subtext. “It is so exciting to see a fresh and distinct interpretation of a concept sci-fi game that has been in our head for so long,” said the duo.

Arjun Vagale x Aniruddh Mehta

Mehta builds an imaginary clubland to house Vagale’s music. Think, dance party of the future. “I've always loved collaborating with visual artists, especially those who have a similar design aesthetic, and Aniruddh fits perfectly. We decided to base the design on a broad visualisation of what we both saw in my music – slick geometric patterns – a bold design, with a minimalistic sensibility. I'm very excited about teaming up with Kulture Shop to present our creation,” says Vagale.

Karsh Kale x Meera Sethi

At its core, Sethi’s work is about the cross pollination of cultures ­– much like Kale’s music. “It was a fun process working toward a common goal with Meera and Kulture Shop. As artists we all do such different things that the process of finding common ground and ultimately arriving at the same place was the best part of this experience. I still see the colours,” says Kale.

Kulture Shop, which has consistently given us cool art for our walls and wardrobe, has introduced a new line called Katalyst Music. Artists have teamed up with the indie music stars like Karsh Kale, Monica Dogra, Arjun Vagale, BLOT! and Scribe to create a line of limited edition T-shirts and art prints. Bonus? With each purchase you can download a track by the artist. And each design borrows from their music. 

Monica Dogra x Jasjyot Singh Hans

Dogra and her brand of spirited music became a muse for artist Jasjyot Singh Hans, whose art is about overcoming human vulnerabilities. “Collaborating with Jasjyot was a trip into the mind of an esoteric fashion head who has struggled and thrived with finding a strong portal for identity and expression in aesthetic art. He's a really rad artist and I dig his interpretation of me,” says Dogra.

Scribe x Gaurav Basu

Scribe – a metal heavyweight – is a band that’s unfailingly cheeky. They teamed up with illustrator and musician, Gaurav Basu to celebrate the band’s latest release, Hail Mogambo. The album (and artwork) tells a story “about a dark, ominous entity that operates out of his lair and sends robotic cat-clones out to do his bidding.”
