Wilson Pickett (March 18, 1941 – January 19, 2006) was an American R&B, soul and rock and roll singer and songwriter.

A major figure in the development of American soul music, Pickett recorded over 50 songs which hit the US R&B charts, and frequently crossed over to the US Billboard Hot 100. Among his best known hits are "In the Midnight Hour" (which he co-wrote), "Land of 1,000 Dances", "Mustang Sally", and "Funky Broadway".The impact of Pickett's songwriting and recording led to his 1991 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Pickett teamed up with established Philadelphia-based hitmakers Gamble and Huff for the 1970 album "Wilson Pickett In Philadelphia", which featured two hit singles, "Engine No.9" and "Don't Let The Green Grass Fool You", the latter selling one million copies.

Lyrics:
Oooh, oooooh

Come to me slowly,
It’s when you talk close enough
that I feel it on my skin,
Breathe it in

Most of these days
(Most of these days)
I don’t get too intimate
Why would I let you in?
(Why would I let you in?)
But, I think again

I don’t even try,
I don’t have to think
With you there’s pretending

You know me,
You know me
And I just might know you too
Know you

Come to me ready

(You make me wanna)
Go dancing
(You make me wanna)
Try on feminine
(You make me wanna)
Go buy a new dress
(You make me wanna)
Slip off a new dress

Don’t even try,
I don’t have to think
With you there’s no pretending

You know me,
You know me
And I just might know you too
Know you

Come to me slowly

To celebrate 10 years of one of London’s most loved underground club nights, Tangent, Mr Bongo are thrilled to launch this new compilation series. Crafted by its two residents, John Gómez and Nick the Record, it aims to transmit a taste of Tangent’s 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 UK’s go-to record dealers, resident DJ since the ‘90s at one of Japan’s 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 Force’s grassroots principles to the UK, whilst channelling underground clubbing institution Plastic People’s meticulous attitude to sound. Tangent grew from being a small gathering of friends, to an established fixture in London’s nightlife, whilst always maintaining a strict no guest DJ policy. “As London’s 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 Perikás, 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 Champagn’s ‘Bel Ti Négress’. And Pellegrin El Kady’s afro-cosmic ‘Seiva de Carnaval’, crosses paths with Kajou’s Kompa disco anthem ‘Tet Chajé’.

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

016 - Help me make up my mind

The other day I stumbled across this incredibly uplifting video - if you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favour (Insta: https://bit.ly/35AOstU  YouTube: https://bit.ly/2VHrqgo). It's by The Samples, performing a cappella outdoors with a brass band and segueing from Risin' To The Top into All Night Long. What a great vibe!! 

Well, I was just heading off to a party and I thought: that'd be a great one to play, lemme just add a little something to it. And, of course, as these things go, one thing led to another. And another...

Seeing how this was recorded, the quality is what it is, so enjoy it for what it is. Actually, if you think about it, it's two edits for the price of one. Speaking of which, it's a free download, so don't forget to show your appreciation. If you prefer not to use the free download gate, just shoot me a line.

A mix series which drives the audience into a journey of Thomas High's music and visual inspirited world.
