5 & ¼ Records was founded in late 06’ as an alternative to
the label model as a business entity. We believe in good music
that lacks commercial appeal, yet redefines commercial demand.
Our mission is founded in an environmental recycling project
which reuses old 5 & ¼ inch computer floppies in an effort to
innovate and save our planet. All custom packaging and art for
our releases are handcrafted, individually numbered, and unique.
All our releases are limited and do not exceed 500 copies. We are
Small. So are our egos.
We Don"T Move Units; We move YOU.

"Biblio", exemplifies Vangel's most polished and musical work to date. Making use of public and private libraries as his primary outlet for sample sources, Vangel set out to create the foundation for an original jazz-electronic music hybrid. Track skeletons were combined with live instrumentation by Toronto's premier session musicians, and songs began to appear. The result is Biblio: a smooth and rich sounding journey that teeters on the edge of elevator music and avant-garde pop genius. "Cheesy, but serious like hipster scarfs and coffee".
