Istanbul Sessions is a unit consisting of 4 versatile musicians -- Ilhan Ersahin, Alp Ersonmez, Turgut Bekoglu and Izzet Kizil. Ilhan was born and raised in Sweden, his motherland, and since a long time now has been living in NYC where he founded Nublu, the club and record label. Having a Turkish father and always having strong ties to Istanbul and Turkey as a whole, Istanbul Sessions was conceived as a very organic project. The concept of the band is a combination of Ilhan's NYC/Nublu sound mixed with the sounds and spirits of young Istanbul. It’s a band that mixes Turkish scales, clubby beats and jazz improvisations. Their live sets are usually an experience in sounds, moods, and almost trance like vibes, all played live, almost as if they are dj's keeping the audience alert with beats, colors and songs weaving in and out until their set ends 1, 2 or 3 hours later. Alp is the bassplayer of Turkey's popstar Tarkan. Turgut is the drummer of Turkey's one and only diva Sezen Aksu and Izzet is a sought after percussionist heard on hundreds of Turkish released records already performed with very international names such as Bebel Gilberto, Natasha Atlas etc.– all very active in the Istanbul music scene. Ilhan, saxophonist/keyboards/composer is the founder of Nublu in NYC and the newly started Nublu Records. Ilhan has composed for Norah Jones, Bebel Gilberto, U-Roy and his other bands include Wax Poetic, Love Trio, I led 3 lives and Nublu Orchestra. A great way to hear fresh and new sounds from Istanbul with a different angle then is usually expected, here it is: Istanbul Sessions.

I started out as a painter writing music on the side and then I ended up writing songs and painting on the sly. If my songs were maps I'd want them to stretch from the English moors to the Saharan dunes via the plains of the Mediterrannean.
Most of the time, I release my music on my own label Beating Drum.
I've collaborated with many wonderful artists and musicians over the years, amongst them, Vincent Segal, Ballake Sissoko, Ben Harper, Ibrahim Maalouf and Rokia Traore and more.

“MoBlack Records locks it in as the top-selling label in both genres, once again proving itself as a leading hub for Afro House's global appetite" Beatport 07.03.2023

"the prophet of the Afro House" DJ Mag Italia 06.10.2022

"italiano de alma africana" DJ Mag Brasil 24.03.2021

"One of THE main protagonists since day one, there is nobody else around, laying foundations on this level and pushing boundaries like MoBlack Records and its founder Mimmo Falcone (alias MoBlack). The Italian who lived in Ghana for ten years keeps surprising the RISE team as much as the scene with those cutting edge releases and a repertoire that shouts "classic" every second minute." RISE - Berin.

"MoBlack Records, the most prominent purveyors of afro house in recent years"  Beatport 11.09.2020

"Mimmo Falcone alias MoBlack is the prime mover behind Afro-House's inspiring label MoBlack Records. But the Naples based artist not only runs an ambitious and successful label, he's also shown himself as an equally strong producer and DJ.." Torture The Artist (20.09.2019)

"MoBlack has an impressive reputation for afro house music that comes out on his own self-titled label. The Italian lived in Ghana for ten years and made his debut release in 2013 so comes with a real sense of authenticity". Get Physical Music 

"Every single release comes out of a special edition on the global electronic scene, and Mixmag Adria is honored to present one of the most impressive labels on the market - MoBlack Records" Mixmag Adria 

"the dominant imprint when it comes to Afro powered House jams at the moment." DMC World Magazine

"Mimmo Falcone aka MoBlack is a real staple in the Afro House scene (for a reason) and keeps on pushing it further". Muting The Noise 

"MoBlack the enigmatic force behind the world’s leading Afro-House music label." MUZE - Nairobi

"MoBlack continues to bless us with truly ingenious and eclectic selection of tracks representing the many different flavors afro house music has to offer" Spirit Of House

"for me MoBlack Records is a new strong label that is representing the underground. And I like a lot of their music that they are releasing". David Morales

"one of the key players responsible for the evolution and advancement of the 'new' Afro House sound. MoBlack records, and its founder Mimmo Falcone aka MoBlack, of which both continue to fly the flag simultaneously as an inspirational music imprint, and as an equally strong producer and much respected DJ.
Falcone, the Italian Naples-based artist, spent ten years living in Ghana and made his debut release in 2013 warranting a stamp of authenticity for his craft. He's successfully carved a path for both himself and the record label, offering a consistent feed of high-quality and eclectic sounds that has put him at the forefront of Afro House. 
Often cited as a DJ's DJ and the label held in high regard by the truest of music heads and purists the world over, MoBlack represents the underground and is a beacon for originality and an outlet for imagination. The label has been home to some of the most revered producers. It has successfully channelled the energy of the newer, fresher artists coming through as well, adding extra fuel to an already flourishing imprint."  Traxsource 2020
