Tangent (2lp)
To mark 10 years of London's beloved underground club night Tangent, Mr Bongo launches a new compilation series curated by its resident DJs, John Gómez and Nick the Record. Tangent celebrates inclusivity, spontaneity, and resident-focused clubbing, reflecting its ethos through rare, dancefloor-ready tracks from around the globe. John, an NTS Radio resident and Music From Memory compiler, and Nick, a seasoned DJ and record dealer, have crafted a collection blending eras and styles. Highlights include Balearic grooves like Miguel Perikás' `Laberinto', Cameroonian hip-house from King B., and Afro-cosmic beats like Pellegrin El Kady's `Seiva de Carnaval'. Contemporary gems such as Srirajah Sound System's dub-stepper `Si Phan Don Lovers Rock' add modern flair. This compilation captures Tangent's spirit_bridging past and present, connecting cultures, and creating pure, open-minded musical joy.
