Nublu Records Nublu Records started in 2005 in NYC and has established itself as a weighty curator and tastemaker in the independent music scene. The list goes on and on.

Nublu is a unique club and record label from the cultural epicenter of New York City, the East Village. There are three entities of the Nublu universe, a live music venue, a record label, and a recently launched Nublu Jazz Festival which has premiered in NYC, Sao Paul and Istanbul. The venue was birthed first in 2002. It started out as a place for like-minded musicians and artists to gather and si

mply play music together, recalling New York in its creative heyday of the 70's and 80's. Nublu has come a long way since its humble beginnings. The club has attracted the admiration of many people and has been touted everywhere from the New York Times to Paper magazine. It is no surprise to come across Lou Reed at the bar, Kevin Spacey or Jorge Ben hanging out, or Norah Jones dancing to Forro. Last year, Jovanotti, the Italian superstar, chose Nublu as the place for his residency. The venue was filled to over capacity for eight straight weeks. Legendary artists like, Gilberto Gil and David Byrne have also done secret shows, and Moby said he realized that he "had more fun DJ'ing records for 75 people at Nublu than going on tour and performing in front of 10,000 people a night" XLR8R Magazine (2008). The second arm of Nublu is the record label, which started in 2005 as a necessary outlet to release the music coming out of the club. The label now boasts a catalogue of over 50 releases, from music ranging from Brazilian acts 3 Na Massa, Otto and Forro in The Dark, to the jazz stylings of I Led 3 Lives and Nublu Orchestra, the indie pop of Hess is More and Wax Poetic. Between all of its entities, Nublu has established itself as a weighty curator and tastemaker in the independent music scene. There is no one sound to Nublu, just a vibe and a great selection. Nublu owner Ilhan Ersahin says it best, "We're just playing music."

“Mariola (Radio Edit)”, de Marcelo Callado, já está disponível!

— A Nublu Records tem o orgulho de anunciar o lançamento em fevereiro de 2026 de “Brado”, o aguardado novo álbum do baterista e compositor brasileiro Marcelo Callado. O álbum será precedido por três singles, com lançamentos em 4 de novembro de 2025, 25 de novembro de 2025 e 13 de janeiro de 2026.

“Mariola” é a faixa de rock clássico do álbum, repleta de energia bruta e letras raivosas, porém bem-humoradas, que acertam em cheio. O que torna essa faixa tão especial? Marcelo e Paulo gravaram a bateria e o baixo juntos, na mesma sala, com vazamento de som e sem metrônomo, o que confere à música impacto e uma dinâmica incrível.

Pre-Order the Sixth Studio Album from NYC Underground Legend Explores the Musical Architecture of Turkey’s Cultural Capital.

https://ilhanersahin.bandcamp.com/album/istanbul-sessions-mahalle-2

NEW YORK, NY – Ilhan Ersahin’s Istanbul Sessions announce their highly anticipated sixth studio album, “Mahalle,” set for release January 16, 2026 via Nublu Records. The new work represents the band’s most cinematic offering yet, guiding listeners through a sonic exploration of Istanbul’s diverse neighborhoods where tradition meets innovation and the ancient pulse of the city merges with contemporary rhythms.

Frontman Ilhan Ersahin, one of the rare moguls of the New York City underground scene through his influential club and record label Nublu, has spread his New York energy throughout the world. Whether jamming with The Red Hot Chili Peppers in São Paulo, featuring Bugge Wesseltoft at Blue Note Tokyo, or performing elegant oriental sets with Turkish gypsies in European concert halls, Ersahin continues to transcend musical boundaries with masterful eclecticism.
“Mahalle” – the Turkish word for neighborhood – captures the essence of Istanbul Sessions’ genre-crossing artistry. Since 2008, the band has ignited stages across the globe from New York to Istanbul, Paris to São Paulo, London to Skopje, posing questions that challenge musical categorization: Is this really jazz? Doesn’t this sound like a rock band? Their electrifying performances represent master-level musicianship meeting high eclecticism, where the often-clichéd “east-to-west crossover” finds its true sense and power.

The album unfolds as a carefully orchestrated cinematic journey. Album pre-orders launch October 3rd via Bandcamp Friday, accompanied by “Galata,” the first glimpse into this new musical territory. A phased release strategy follows with digital 45 series beginning October 14th with “Galata/Karaköy,” capturing the essence of Istanbul’s historic districts where the Golden Horn separates ancient and modern. The second digital single, “Yeditepe/Asmalı,” arrives December 2nd, navigating from the city’s legendary seven hills to intimate cobblestone streets.

Thursday’s bill was total magic, as tends to be the case at , but this night was different. So much family and friends in the house from near and far to witness a SP-NY collaboration long in the making.

Both bands killed it! and ate super stars. got in on the act with a proper jazz freak out session w the drummer, managing to circle back to the original song effortlessly.

Big thanks to all who performed and were in attendance for this special night for all involved.
