House label founded in 1991 by Rob Di Stefano that pioneered the darker, progressive house sounds that were popular in New York clubs in the 1990s. Di Stefano was a manager in I.R.S. Records' New York City office when he founded the label as Tribe Records (4)) but renamed it to TRIBAL to avoid confusion with another label called Tribe. TRIBAL handled US distribution of UK-based Guerilla Records, founded by I.R.S. artist William Orbit and his manager Dick O'Dell. via Discogs →
