John Gomez And Nick The Record Present: Tangent

Description

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of one of London’s most beloved underground parties, Tangent, Mr Bongo is delighted to launch this new compilation series. Conceived by its two residents, John Gómez and Nick the Record, it aims to convey a taste of the Tangent spirit. A party rooted in inclusivity and open-mindedness, whose name reflects the spontaneous changes in musical direction that are a defining element of their nights. For this compilation, the duo have selected a collection of their precious, rare and dancefloor-ready tracks from around the world, which have provided the soundtrack to the parties over the past decade. Friends for nearly 20 years, music lovers, record obsessives and internationally renowned DJs, John and Nick have two lifetimes of musical knowledge to draw on. John is a long-time resident on NTS Radio and a compiler for Music From Memory. Nick is one of the UK’s essential record dealers, a resident DJ since the 90s at one of Japan’s pioneering parties, Life Force, and co-captain/co-expert in editing at Record Mission with Dan Tyler (Idjut Boys). In 2014, Tangent grew from a small gathering of friends into a fixture of London nightlife, while always maintaining a strict no guest DJ policy. With 10 years of the duo at the helm, an intimate connection between DJ and dancefloor has been built, allowing freedom of expression on both sides of the decks.
