What is Sublime Porte?
The name Sublime Porte is derived from the term “sublime porte” which was used for addressing the divan (court) of the Ottoman Empire. Sublime Porte is the literal French translation of bab-i ali which means lofty gate. This particular term was used in the context of diplomacy by the western states, as their diplomats would be welcomed at “porte”. As a name for our label it conveys our aim for standing as an eminent source for modern electronic music.
