DESCRIPTION

One of London’s most loved underground parties, Tangent, celebrates its 10th birthday this year with a new compilation on Mr Bongo. Residents John Gómez and Nick the Record have curated a selection of prized, rare, and dancefloor-ready tracks that have soundtracked the past decade of their parties.

Alongside remastered reissues of these original cuts, the CD version includes three incredible edits from Nick, John, and Dan Tyler (of the Idjut Boys). These edits proved too good not to press on vinyl — so they’ve been given the standalone 12" they deserve.

Contextualising the edits, Nick shares:

“Tangent was not only the place for us to play the music we love the most, it also became the testing ground for our edits. It was really helpful being able to see the effect each of these had on a dancefloor before the records were released, and many of them also became firm Tangent classics.”

Track Details

  • A1: Leo Basel – Quelle Drôle De Vie (Nick the Record & Dan Tyler Re-Edit)
     A furiously feel-good re-edit based on the 1987 Special Remix. Nick and Dan cut out less impactful sections and amplify the gold — resulting in a slice of peak-time French boogie joy.

  • A2: Love Isaacs – Surprise Surprise (João Gomes & Dan Tyler Are Predictably Delayed Rework)
     John joins Dan at the controls for a cosmic revamp of this swagger-laden ‘80s electro-funk gem with highlife influences. Extended and space-echoed for maximum dancefloor impact.

  • B1: Rick Asikpo and Afro Fusion – Let’s Get High (Nick the Record Re-Edit) [12 Minute Version]
     Nick transforms the energetic closing minutes of this celestial Nigerian soul track from 1980’s Got To Be Me into a restructured, jazz-funk infused 12-minute journey. Featuring a brilliant cosmic breakdown and explosive finale — pure dancefloor elation!
