Founded in 1998 as an offshoot of Pozitif Productions, Doublemoon Records is an independent pioneering label based in Istanbul, Turkey dedicated to spreading the cultural tapestry that is the city's sound around the world.
Doublemoon Records is the sole platform for Turkish and foreign musicians with an evolving ethnic identity to come together to create, collaborate, and communicate through the universal language of music. Doublemoon has made a name for itself that is synonymous with world fusion from the perspective of global souls who amalgamate jazz & world, acoustic & electronic, occidental & oriental music to put forth albums made up of sufi-electronica, groove alla turca, gypsy funk, oriental hip hop and Anatolian blues. Over the past 8 years, the label has succeeded in nurturing a roster of promising talent into internationally recognized artists with the synergy of its three sister companies.
