nights, Tangent, Mr Bongo are thrilled to launch this new compilation
series
Crafted by its two residents, John Gomez and Nick the Record, it aims to transmit
a taste of Tangent's spirit. A party rooted in inclusivity and open- mindedness,
whose name captures the spontaneous switches in musical direction that are a
defning element of their nights. For the compilation, the pair have cherry-picked a
selection of their prized, rare and dancefoor-ready tracks from around the globe,
that have soundtracked the past decade of parties.
Friends for close to 20 years, music lovers, record obsessives and internationally
renowned DJs in their own right, John and Nick have two lifetimes worth of
musical knowledge to draw from. John a long-standing NTS Radio resident and
compiler for Music From Memory . Nick one of the UK's go-to record dealers ,
resident DJ since the '90s at one of Japan's pioneering parties, Life Force, and
co-captain / co-edit-expert of Record Mission with Dan Tyler (Idjut Boys).
In 2014, the pair decided to bring some of Life Force's grassroots principles to the
UK, whilst channelling underground clubbing institution Plastic People 's
meticulous attitude to sound. Tangent grew from being a small gathering of
friends, to an established fxture in London's nightlife, whilst always maintaining a
strict no guest DJ policy. "As London's clubs have become increasingly reliant on
international guests, we wanted to emphasize the importance of a club night
growing through its residents", John and Nick refect. With 10 years of the duo at
the helm, an intimate connection between DJ and dancefoor has been built,
allowing for freedom of expression on both sides of the decks.
Tangent reaches around the globe and across different eras to make connections
that stimulate emotional reverberations in the unfamiliar. Where the blissfully
Balearic 'Laberinto' by Miguel Perikas, goes hand-in-hand with the Cameroonian
hip-house of King B.'s 'Love is Crazy'. The thundering 'Amek Amek' by L'Innovateur
Djoe Ahmed et le Zoukabyle, rubs shoulders with the soulful Caribbean-infuenced
touch of Champagn's 'Bel Ti Negress'. And Pellegrin El Kady's afro-cosmic 'Seiva
de Carnaval', crosses paths with Kajou's Kompa disco anthem 'Tet Chaje'.
Tangent's longevity is in part down to it having always embraced contemporary
sounds . The sub-rattling bass of Srirajah Sound System's stunning Molam dub
stepper 'Si Phan Don Lovers Rock' and the slow, woozy mantra of leftfeld
dancehall explorer Androo's 'Lyriso', are two shining examples.
This compilation represents an ongoing dialogue between past and present,
transporting listeners to the heart of a pure musical experience , where open
minds and open hearts are eager to follow the tangent.
