REEPERBAHN FESTIVAL COLLIDE
CURATED COLLISIONS
A project of Reeperbahn Festival.
COLLIDE connects musicians and visual artists to create unique aesthetic experiences.

Different art forms come together and melt into a single unique performance – that’s the idea behind REEPERBAHN FESTIVAL COLLIDE.
Curated with care, we permanently enrich the world wide web with a serial format celebrating music and art.

The concept:
One act, one visual artist, one shared stage.
A creative culmination where unique and custom created works of art visually accompany live performances.

It’s astonishing how easily Ravi Kuma dance between styles and consistently refine their signature sound. Using muscle-bound beats and high-energy rap, they celebrate the desire to cross borders while sounding at once polished and rough – and without mincing words. And why not? Because their deliberately provocative style works perfectly as a cross between the Beastie Boys, Missy Elliott, and Diane Edwards. Neither in Denmark nor anywhere else in the European music scene has this kind of millennial bass-punk been seen recently. Words cannot do the musicians justice, so we will let pictures speak, instead. As part of COLLIDE, Ravi Kuma play the two bangers “Easy Does It” and “Mad-moiselle”, supplemented by a cover version of M.I.A.’s “Bad Girls”, which festively burns the stereotypes of female appearances. Ravi Kuma make the music something entirely their own. Fittingly, Studio.absTime transformed Ravi Kuma’s personal stories into visuals with glistening colours, flames, and body parts, such as the gleaming mouth on “Easy Does It”, which is based on the nickname “Big Mouth” given to frontwoman Sharon Kumaraswamy by her father.

Reeperbahn Festival is the biggest club festival in Europe and the largest European platform for international pop culture and the music industry. Since 2006, for four days each September the Reeperbahn in Hamburg, Germany has become the centre of the international music world and a sustainable interface between artists, the public, industry representatives and society. The Conference programme is aimed at professional visitors from all segments of the music industry from around the world.

The Reeperbahn Festival takes place under the sign of togetherness - racism, sexism, homophobia and exclusion have no place with us.

REEPERBAHN FESTIVAL COLLIDE
CURATED COLLISIONS
Ein Projekt des Reeperbahn Festivals.
COLLIDE verbindet Musiker*innen und visuelle Künstler*innen und kreiert ein einzigartiges ästhetisches Erlebnis.

Es kann nur verwundern mit welcher Leichtigkeit Ravi Kuma zwischen den Stilen tanzen und dabei konsequent ihren Signature Sound zur Reife bringen. Zwischen muskelbepackten Beats und hochenergetischem Rap feiern die beiden die Lust an der Grenzüberschreitung, klingen ausgefeilt und rough zugleich – ohne Blatt vorm Mund. Warum auch nicht? Weder in Dänemark noch sonst irgendwo im europäischen Musikgeschehen gab es diese Art von Millennial Bass-Punk in jüngster Zeit Im Rahmen von COLLIDE spielen Ravi Kuma die zwei Banger „Easy Does It“ und „Mad-moiselle“, ergänzt um eine Cover-Version von M.I.A.s „Bad Girls“, das die Stereotypen weiblicher Erscheinungsbilder festlich verbrennt – Ravi Kuma machen ihn zu etwas gänzlich Eigenem. Passend dazu hat Studio.absTime die persönlichen Geschichten Ravi Kumas in Visuals aus gleißende Farben, Flammen und Körperteile verwandelt, wie z.B. den glänzenden Mund bei „Easy Does It“, der auf dem Spitznamen „Big Mouth“ basiert, den Frontfrau Sharon Kumaraswamy von ihrem Vater erhielt.
