John Gomez And Nick The Record Present: Tangent

Description

To celebrate 10 years of one of London's most beloved underground parties, Tangent, Mr Bongo is thrilled to launch this new compilation series. Curated 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 has selected a selection of their precious, rare, and dancefloor-ready tracks from around the world, which have formed the soundtrack to the parties of the last 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 upon. John is a long-time resident of NTS Radio and a compiler for Music From Memory. Nick is one of the UK's go-to record dealers, a resident DJ since the 90s at one of Japan's pioneering parties, Life Force, and co-captain/co-editing expert of Record Mission with Dan Tyler (Idjut Boys).In 2014, Tangent went from a small gathering of friends to a staple 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.
