Welcome to Sargasso

Adventurous music for inquiring minds:

take a plunge in the Sea of Sound

Sargasso is an independent label with a difference. Far from the realms of mainstream commercialism, Sargasso offers the discerning listener an insight into today’s best innovative sounds by established as well as up-and-coming artists. Since 1993 Sargasso has established itself as one of the main UK independent labels of contemporary experimental new music as well as organiser of the legendary Sargasso:C live events.

Just like the Sargasso Sea is a tranquil area at the center of the great swirl of the Atlantic Ocean’s currents, our label is a meeting point of all musical currents and influences. Because Sargasso is artist-led (as opposed to accountant-led) it understands the need for artistic integrity and risk-taking in today’s music industry. Each release is part of a series, a journey of discovery in the vast oceans of contemporary music. Today’s listeners want more from a label than just to release more CDs. They expect a clear philosophy of musical values which they can trust and follow.
