With his signing to Soulection and his release of Trust Me and Da Rochina, the world began to take notice of this producer's unique take on bass music. Following major worldwide support for his refixes, EP's and beat tapes from the likes of Brownswood's Gilles Peterson, KCRW's Aaron Byrd, and Noisey (VICE) to name a few, Sango is poised to elevate the definition of what "future" music is. With his latest release North, Sango brings forth a new sound, one that pulls from soul, rnb, future bass, hip hop and broken beat fusing them together with seamless vocals chops and grooves. North features collaborations from a diverse group of artists like Australia's Ta-ku, cinematic downtempo producer Atu, nu-soul singer JMSN, story-telling rapper WALDO, newcomer vocalist Brea and Dpat who produced 'Remember You' for Wiz Khalifa and The Weeknd.
