JOHN GOMEZ & NICK THE RECORD - TANGENT EDITS VOL.1.

Its residents, John Gomez and Nick the Record , have curated a selection of

prized, rare and dancefloor ready tracks that have soundtracked the past decade

of their parties. Alongside remastered reissues of these original cuts, the CD

version of the compilation also houses three incredible edits from Nick, John and

Dan Tyler of the Idjut Boys. These were too good not to press onto vinyl, so we've

given them the standalone 12"they deserve.

Contextualising their edits Nick states, "Tangent was not only the place for us to

play the music we love the most, it also became the testing ground for our edits.

It was really helpful being able to see the effect each of these had on a

dancefloor before the records were released and many of them also became firm

Tangent classics."

Up first, Nick is joined by Dan Tyler (Idjut Boys), who he runs the edit label Record

Mission with, for a furiously feel-good re-edit of Leo Basel's 'Quelle Drole De Vie'.

Basing their edit on the 1987 'Special Remix', it does what any great re-work does,

dropping the sections from the original that don't quite hit the mark, whilst

focussing on the gold in amongst it all. The result is a slice of peak-time, French

boogie joy, that will warm even the coldest hearts.

John then joins Dan at the dials for a cosmic revamp of Love Isaacs 'Surprise

Surprise'. A serving of '80s electro-funk, dripping in swagger with a highlife tinge.

John and Dan extended the grooves for maximum dancefloor power, space

echoing it into the stratosphere at all the juiciest points.

Lastly, Nick takes on Rick Asikpo and Afro Fusion 'Let's Get High' from the super

sought- after 1980 album, Got To Be Me. Celestial, gospel- infused soul from

Nigeria, Nick homes in on the energetic last 2 minutes of the original as the

building block of his 12- minute edit . A completely reworked, feverishly paced

creation, Nick switches the sections around, saving the slow, soulful segment for

a brilliant cosmic breakdown before the track erupts back into its full flow.

Synthesised, jazz-funk elation from start to finish!
