With nearly 2000 years of collective experience at the coalface of the music industry, the people behind Tangential Music nearly know what they are doing in this relentlessly changing business. Working without sleep or sustenance from their lighthouse office on Paradise Island, the label has released an expansive selection of artists and genres that encapsulates the broad but tasteful appetites of the crew involved. Heartbreaking Ambient soundscapes, Block Party Hip Hop/Funk breaks, Liquid Drum & Bass, Deep House experiments, classy Portuguese contemporary grooves with Mozambican flavours, LoFi beats, spooky electronic soul and much more. Tangential definitely operates in tangents, always quality, always working hard for the artists. 

 In their own words ... 'why do we do it? Stupidity to be honest'. 

Loads of new music to come for 2023 plus a few reissues of brilliant albums that we believe didn’t get a fair bite of the apple first time.
