The title track and opening salvo from Marcelo Callado’s forthcoming album, “Brado” (Portuguese for “cry” or “shout”) is a powerful declaration of agency and self-determination. Callado’s lyrics explore the tension between being a choice versus an option, between living authentically and merely existing—a meditation on autonomy that crescendos into collective affirmation with the repeated pronome nós (“the pronoun we”).

Musically, “Brado” showcases Callado’s multi-instrumental prowess on vocals, guitars, and drums, anchored by Paulo Emmery’s bass, synthesizer, and bells. Eduardo Manso layers guitars, Fender VI bass, and synth textures, while Thomas Harres adds additional guitar work, creating a rich sonic landscape that moves from introspective to anthemic.

This is Callado fully realized—not just as the rhythmic architect behind Brazilian music legends, but as an artist with urgent philosophical questions and the musical muscle to match. “Brado” announces an arrival: bold, necessary, and unapologetically human.

Portuguese (Brazil)
A faixa-título e primeiro hino do próximo álbum de Marcelo Callado, “Brado” (em português, “gritar”), é uma poderosa declaração de autonomia e autodeterminação. A letra de Callado explora a tensão entre ser uma escolha e ser uma opção, entre viver autenticamente e simplesmente existir — uma meditação sobre autonomia que culmina em uma afirmação coletiva com a repetição do pronome “nós”.

Musicalmente, “Brado” demonstra a maestria multi-instrumental de Callado nos vocais, guitarras e bateria, ancorada pelo baixo, sintetizador e sinos de Paulo Emmery. Eduardo Manso adiciona camadas de guitarras, baixo Fender VI e texturas de sintetizador, enquanto Thomas Harres contribui com guitarras adicionais, criando uma rica paisagem sonora que transita da introspecção ao hino.

Este é Callado em sua plenitude — não apenas como o arquiteto rítmico por trás de lendas da música brasileira, mas como um artista com questões filosóficas urgentes e a força musical para acompanhá-las. “Brado” anuncia uma chegada: ousada, necessária e inegavelmente humana.

Early reviews are in and they are great!

Many thanks to EVL Magazine, You And The Music, Gerry Hectic for the kind words about this boundary pushing project.

“This 11 track album is amazing! The cover version of CAN’s ‘hit’ ‘Vitamin C’ has already made this album the ‘must have’ this month but jazz-funk electronica with sophisticated punk has never been as pure as this; there’s even a spiriutal flute gang track ‘Igor Stravinsky’ featuring Cochemea Gastelum (The DapKings) and Morgan Price (Ikebe Shakedown)”

“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 @nublunyc , 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! @sp_nydiscoclube and @zenigro are super stars. @ilhanersahin 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.

We are so jazzed about this new 8-min epic instrumental track from @phenomenal_handclap ! Written at the height of the pandemic, "Like A Constellation" emerges as a sprawling cosmic disco epic that crystallized in the band's Williamsburg studio sanctuary. This ethereal journey took shape while Daniel was simultaneously crafting This is Brian Jackson, JKriv's "Try Again", and the band's own Burning Bridges EP—a testament to their relentless creative momentum even in isolation.
The track showcases Juliet's otherworldly vocals floating above Monika's synthesizer landscapes, with Daniel anchoring the cosmic groove on drums and Hammond organ while overseeing production. They're joined by Jason Kriveloff (JKriv) weaving rhythm guitar textures and session legend Binky Brice delivering his signature bass lines—the same hands that helped craft Billy Ocean's "Caribbean Queen."
Lyrically, "Like A Constellation" navigates themes of existential self-reliance and creative rebirth, serving as both intimate confession and universal reflection on finding light in the darkness of pandemic isolation. It's a sonic meditation on liberation through introspection, where cosmic disco becomes the vessel for profound personal transformation.

A new music video by Oceanvs Orientalis & İlhan Erşahin, directed by Ferit Katipoğlu, dedicated to the music labour forgotten during the pandemic. Out now on @nublurecords youtube channel. (Link at bio)

The pandemic has turned all lives upside down all over the world, there is no doubt that no one is unaffected by this situation… But a group of people has been affected much more deeply!

Their voices were muffled, their hands were tied, their ears were deafened, their souls became stagnant… The life veins of people, who interpret all our emotions, at every moment of our lives, who make “that music” right next to us, even in the middle of our minds, are cut off… Consciously or unconsciously; somehow they were forgotten, or even worse, ignored. Some of them were killed not by the virus, but by this oblivion.

Two musicians got together to remind this fact and be the voice of the forgotten ones. World-renowned jazz musician İlhan Erşahin and one of the brightest names of the global electronic music scene, Oceanvs Orientalis, dedicate 'Pire', the first single of their long-term work, to "all musicians and music world workers whose lives have drastically changed during the pandemic"...

Directed by Ferit Katipoğlu, the film depicts the current landscape of the forgotten musicians, the secret architects of the joyful days of Istanbul, who suddenly find themselves pushed aside. Do you remember the indispensable characters of the most colorful scenes of our city who say "We are not dead yet, but this cannot be called life"?

Nublu Records is psyched at the moment in more ways than one as now able to re-release DJ Baris K's classic series of edits of funky psychedelic Turkish 70s classics . Baris took the original songs and extended the breaks and the funky parts for added dance floor effectiveness and the series of 7" 45s these edits were originally released on has become highly sought-after. Barış K, whose Eurasia compilations have helped break the 70s blend of Turkish funk, disco, rock and psychedelia internationally, is an acclaimed DJ with countless festivals and disco nights across Europe under his belt. His editing skills are really showcased on these tracks including pieces from rock stalwarts Cem Karaca and Erkin Koray to disco folksters Derdiyoklar, Urfali Babi and psych-funkers Kamuran Akkor and Nazan Soray. For all those with an interest in exotic world-psych from the 70s this is something not to be missed. #istanbul70 #nazansoray #ersenvedadaşlar #nublurecords #nublu #barisk
