Creator studio

Anna Gavanas is a DJ, producer and writer whose latest work helps her uphold the memories of her late brother.

Communicating Beyond Life and Death

Stockholm-based Anna Gavanas has been DJing since the 90s. Away from the decks, she’s also a multi-faceted producer, author and researcher.
During the pandemic and its lockdowns, communities like the dance music world were stripped of their platforms for expression and social togetherness. Gavanas used her lockdown as an opportunity to isolate herself in the studio and create new music.
During this time, she discovered an old cassette tape of her brother – who passed away more than 20 years. Sampling his voice, Ganavas used these echoes of her past as a form of collaboration for one of the new tracks.
”When my brother was alive, he truly lived for the music. It has been such an interesting experience collaborating with him on this new track, 20 years after his passing. He still makes me laugh, just like when we were growing up.”

Finger On the Pulse

American singer/songwriter, Benson Boone is blazing hot right now. At just 21, he’s signed to Warner Records, touring extensively and building a rabid fanbase across the world. His latest EP, Pulse has recently dropped, showing the songwriter’s expressive skills as a writer and singer – honed through Boone’s collaborations and workshopping with Imagine Dragons’ frontman, Dan Reynolds. Not content to confine his creativity to stage and studio, Benson’s linked up with Creator Studio for his merch line, a project that’s close to his heart. We caught up with him to talk about influences, architecture, and the significance of merch to him and his fans.

Picture Perfect Merch

Based in Stockholm, Fotografiska has risen fast to become one of the vanguards of photography as an art form. From the beginning, Fotografiska has adopted a demographic approach to curation and spatial design, with a holistic identity that begins the moment a visitor enters the museum. With a thriving store, and restaurant as popular as its galleries, Fotografiska has now linked with Creator Studio to expand its merch offering. We chatted to Eva-Lena Degerhäll, director of retail at Fotografiska about the experience so far.

Disruption from within
