Consolidate is a Bangalore based record label and collective. With regular releases showcasing the seemingly singular talent that Bangalore (and more recently, beyond) possesses, Consolidate provides a much needed reference to not only Bangalore, but the contemporary Indian electronic music scene as a whole. They will be taking over bFLAT featuring Aerate Sound, Anirudhh Menon and Pardafash.

Aerate Sound
Aerate Sound is a Bangalore based A/V duo made up of Joe Panicker and Naquash. Their live sets merge a sound inspired by the sample driven hip-hop/beat culture (think DJ Shadow, J Dilla ) with video art and visual experiments to create a highly cinematic and immersive experience. They released their debut album “Only For External" this march via Consolidate - a Bangalore based record label/collective.
Only For External, in their owns words, is an attempt to capture the space they live in. In the album, Aerate Sound employ abstract sonic patterns, beat centric instrumentation, folk samples and field recordings to create a layered soundtrack that transitions effortlessly through disparate sounds, textures, structures and moods.
The 9 track album features collaborations with Bangalore-based MC Smokey the Ghost and The Burning Deck, adding depth and diversity to Aerate Sound’s debut effort.
Aniruddh Menon
Aniruddh Menon is a Bangalore based producer who works with hip-hop inspired lo-fi beats and obscure chopped samples to weave a soundscape that acknowledges the sounds he grew up around without succumbing to nostalgia. His debut full length Lovesongs (released via Consolidate) was a journey into sounds that populated his early life filtered through the prism of adulthood. Besides his solo work, Aniruddh is a member of Machli and Monsoon Search Party. He also works with film and visual art and enjoys trying techniques used in one medium in others.
Aniruddh enjoys collage as an art making process. In music and well as visual mediums, he enjoys making things out of found sound and images. His set is populated by electronic drums, samples and tunes played off a kalimba he picked up recently. As with others on the Consolidate roster, he’s invested in creating a musical identity and sound that feels authentic and honest to him as a young artist in India today.
Pardafash
Pardafash (Sandhya Visvanathan) is a graphic designer and illustrator who moonlights as a vocalist-producer and songwriter. She frequently collaborates with artists from her music family - Bangalore based electronic music collective - Consolidate. She was previously in Machli, a band that meshed together electronic beats and samples from Indian films, two acoustic guitarists and her own auto-tuned vocals to create their unique sound.
Pardafash’s solo live act is her interpretation of protest music through a combination of songs that are stories and spoken word monologues. She believes in using narrative electronic music to make a record of the time we live in. Pardafash’s debut EP will be released this year.
