Nub Music

Nub Music Indie record label IODA were then taken over in 2014 by The Orchard who are now owned by major label Sony Music.

Mark Christopher Lee formed Nub in 2005 after being offered lots of substandard record deals for his indie combo - The Pocket Gods - who were discovered by the late John Peel. Nub were lucky enough to land a worldwide digital distribution deal with IODA who were one of the pioneers in the emerging digital music market. The label's ethos has always been to allow the artist to have complete control

artistic control and to encourage them to take risks but also to be true to themselves. We love music in all its infinite colours and varieties and that's why you will see the electro pop of Flaunt and the mystical musings of Ronan Furlong alongside the country of Larry Weiss (who famously wrote Rhinestone Cowboy) and the hard rock of Rusty G's. The label has had recent success with their 100x30 series of albums. The initial 100x30 album was 100 songs all 30 seconds long and all about the music industry. It was recorded to raise awareness of the lack of fair royalties to artists from music streaming. Services such as Spotify pay out a royalty once a track hits 30 seconds in length and then no more - so why write longer songs? The album created a big stir in the industry and was featured in Billboard, Forbes, Wall St Journal, ITV news, and has even made the new edition of the Guinness Book Of Records for holding the record for the most number of tracks on a digital album (see below). The label is now expanding and even has it's very own music TV show coming to Sky TV on November 6th 2016 and will feature music from the label as well as interviews with established artists. We also offer a PR/Marketing campaign alongside new releases with specific targeting of national radio.

Out today! The amazing new album from Mind Essence!

https://lnk.fuga.com/mindessence_noimaginaryshadow

In the vibrant heart of New York City's Lower East Side, a creative collision sparked the formation of Mind Essence. It was here that David Osborne and Glen Faber first met, their paths crossing in a swirl of artistic energy. Inspired by the substance-soaked 70s, they embarked on a musical journey that would propel listeners into a sonic stratosphere, transcending the boundaries of contemporary sound.

Mind Essence is more than just a band; it's an immersive experience that blends nostalgia with innovation. Drawing from the rich musical heritage of the 1970s, they craft a sound that is both timeless and cutting-edge. Their music is a testament to the era's vibrant musical landscape, yet it remains distinctly modern, appealing to a wide range of audiences.

David Osborne, with his diverse musical background, brings a depth of creativity to the table. Glen Faber, with his keen artistic vision, complements this with a unique perspective that shapes the band's distinctive style. Together, they have created a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking, offering something new and exciting to the music scene.

Their story began on the Lower East Side, where the city's eclectic mix of cultures and artistic expressions provided the perfect backdrop for their collaboration. As they delved deeper into their craft, they found themselves drawn to the raw energy and rebellious spirit of the 70s, an era that defined the boundaries of rock music.

Mind Essence's music is an entry point into a world of sonic exploration, where the past meets the future. With each performance, they invite listeners to join them on a journey through soundscapes that are both familiar and innovative. As they continue to evolve and grow, Mind Essence remains committed to pushing the limits of rock music, ensuring that their unique blend of influences and artistic vision continues to inspire and captivate audiences everywhere.
