Fake Tattoos

**Fake Tattoos** is the genre-blurring musical project of German-Indian producer Rishabh Shankar, known for fusing South Asian traditions with global electronic beats. Based in Dortmund, Germany, Shankar’s sound weaves hypnotic tabla rhythms, soulful sarod melodies, and Urdu/Hindi vocals into deep house and techno textures, creating what he calls “Indo-German electronic fusion.” Tracks like “Delhi to Dortmund” and “Sarod Dreams” reflect his cross-continental inspirations, while remixes and collaborations (like the *Purple Sunset* remix) showcase his knack for reimagining tracks with desi flair. With releases on labels like Six Degrees Records and performances at festivals like Fusion Festival, Fake Tattoos bridges cultural gaps on the dancefloor, serving global bass with a side of masala chai.
