OBSMUS-VOL-2

OVERVIEW

Built around the idea of observation as something instinctive—almost like breathing Observant Records operates as a platform for artists who are deeply committed to their craft. Founded by the duo Ashwin Baburao and Ashrith Baburao, the label brings together a close-knit mix of DJs, producers, and visual artists, all contributing to a shared, evolving ecosystem of sound and image.

This project continues an ongoing relationship with the label, returning after a couple of years developing its original identity system. It takes shape as a series of artworks for seven releases—each tied to a different artist from across the globe, including one multi-artist compilation. While each artwork responds to its own sonic world, they are all held within a flexible visual language, allowing for both individuality and coherence. Rather than repeating a fixed style, the system expands with each release—shifting, adapting, and growing alongside the music it represents.
