A jazz saxophonist, Ersahin released She Said in 1996 and Home in 1997 to wide success, especially in his homeland of Turkey. But soon after he began to move in a different direction: fusing jazz with electronic dance music, a then-burgeoning genre.

The result was Wax Poetic, a group that had elements of Thievery Corporation and Joe Henderson all at once. Ilhan’s work with Wax Poetic brought him to collaborations with Saul Williams, N’Dea Davenport, and the then-unknown Norah Jones; and it also propelled him into the world of Nublu.

Nublu was the club Ersahin opened in the summer of 2002. Offering a truly unique, living-room-like environment for he and his fellow musicians, Nublu became a breeding ground for some of the most original and exciting music coming out of New York, incubating the live electronic music phenomenon Brazilian Girls; the electro-breakbeat outfit, Kudu; the Northeastern Brazilian buzz-starters, Forro In The Dark; Ilhan’s own Wax Poetic, Love Trio, and I Led Three Lives, Our Theory; live hip-hop powerhouse Real Live Show; and the Butch Morris-conducted Nublu Orchestra.

In addition to becoming a hothouse for live music, Ersahin’s Nublu also spawned a record label. With the talent that was exploding out of the walls of the club, he felt there was no other choice than to start a company to release recorded music from the bands that were forming every night.
