Leading independent electronic record label Monstercat returns to Nifty Gateway with its second official ‘NFT drop’.

Offering three separate collections, the launch will include collaborations with renowned comic artist José Delbo, best known for illustrating Wonder Woman, Batman, Transformers, and more, as well as Grammy-winning electronic producer RAC.

IKON Pack (3:30pm PST)
ODYSSEY Pack (4pm PST)
ODYSSEY Ranked Auction (4-5pm PST)

This release marks the first drop where an artist has crafted an original soundtrack specifically for NFTs attached to physical vinyl records.

Monstercat’s Co-Founder & CEO, Mike Darlington, shares, “Working with José Delbo and RAC was truly inspiring. Their creative vision and artistic integrity are unmatched, and they beautifully encapsulated the Monstercat identity.

We’re thrilled to partner with Nifty Gateway again as well, they have always supported our mission to create long-term artist sustainability through NFTs. We’re looking forward to continuing to innovate within the digital collectibles space.”

The ODYSSEY pack will feature 500 NFTs, broken up into 10 colour variations of 50 each, available first come first serve at $777. Every NFT will come with a physical vinyl record in the same colour as the glow of the skull’s eyes in the digital art. Purchasers will need to own one NFT through Nifty Gateway prior to purchasing.

The ODYSSEY auction will feature 25 NFTs starting at $999 each, available through a new mechanism called ranked auction. Users can bid against each other and compete for a position on the leaderboard for one hour, from 4-5pm PST.

Wherever bidders land on the board at the end of the auction will determine which number NFT they will receive. Each NFT comes with a transparent vinyl pressed with multi-coloured swirls, signed by José Delbo and RAC.

The IKON pack will feature 1,000 NFTs soundtracked by RAC and created by Monstercat’s in-house design team. Available at $0.50 each, purchasers must own one digital collectible from Monstercat’s first drop in January in order to buy, with a max of four IKON NFTs per person. This collection follows Monstercat’s debut Constellations pack, which featured 500 celestial NFTs, also for $0.50 each, selling out in less than one second. The low-cost accessibility opens up the market to fans and new collectors at every level.

RAC adds, “It was such a pleasure working with Monstercat and José Delbo on this. Truly a multidisciplinary approach to art and I had all the freedom to musically interpret these works. Perhaps an unexpected combo, but one that I’m so proud of.”

The creative behind both ODYSSEY collections was drawn from Monstercat’s brand theme. Since 2019, the label has been exploring a “Lost Civilization,” an island with multiple biomes where fans can discover new secrets and symbols as part of its lore. The ODYSSEY digital collectibles are the first pieces of content to tie the origin story together, incorporating the spirit of all three Monstercat brands – Uncaged, Instinct, and the newly acquired Silk.

Monstercat’s first ‘NFT drop’ on Nifty Gateway in January also featured the ORIGINS collection by digital artist Giant Swan & Platinum-accredited producer Varien, which generated over $500,000 split equitably between creatives.

The total earnings from both ODYSSEY and IKON collections will be split equally amongst all of the creators involved as well. With the firm belief that digital collectibles have the power to create long-term artist sustainability, Monstercat will continue to build a platform for creatives to innovate and thrive in the marketplace.

Nifty Gateway concludes, “The Nifty Gateway team could not be more excited about the Monstercat drop in collaboration with José Delbo and RAC. All three have long been pioneers in the NFT space and it will be a special moment seeing them come together on a collection for the first time.”
