             To celebrate 10 years of one of Londons most             
             loved underground club 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 Tangents spirit. A           
             party rooted in inclusivity and open-                     
             mindedness, whose name captures the spontaneous           
             switches in musical direction that are a                  
             defining element of their nights. For the                 
             compilation, the pair have cherry-picked a                
             selection of their prized, rare and                       
             dancefloor-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 UKs go-to record dealers, resident DJ                
             since the 90s at one of Japans 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           
             Forces grassroots principles to the UK, whilst           
             channelling underground clubbing institution              
             Plastic Peoples meticulous attitude to sound.            
             Tangent grew from being a small gathering of              
             friends, to an established fixture in Londons            
             nightlife, whilst always maintaining a strict             
             no guest DJ policy. As Londons 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 reflect. With 10 years of the duo           
             at the helm, an intimate connection between DJ            
             and dancefloor 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-influenced touch of Champagns Bel             
             Ti Negress. And Pellegrin El Kadys afro-                
             cosmic Seiva de Carnaval, crosses paths with            
             Kajous Kompa disco anthem Tet Chaje.                   

             Tangents longevity is in part down to it                 
             having always embraced contemporary sounds. The           
             sub-rattling bass of Srirajah Sound Systems              
             stunning Molam dub stepper Si Phan Don Lovers            
             Rock and the slow, woozy mantra of leftfield             
             dancehall explorer Androos 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.
