Fav Tracks, R&B, Remix
29 August 2011

This writeup could have easily been on the highly talked about new mixtape from Ontario’s The Weeknd or solely on Sango’s remix of the track “Gone”. So, I chose a combination. As most know Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, has made a huge splash on the interwebs this year with the help of fellow Canadian crooner Drake. Thursday is the second stellar mixtape of three due out this year including House of Balloons which was released back in March. Both can be downloaded for free from his website HERE. Listen below to standout track “The Zone” featuring Drake below.
Judging from the number of his SoundCloud followers, it’s a safe guess Sango is new to the scene. But his remix of Thursday track “Gone” is hardly the work of a newb. Sango makes the song his own–in a good way–with a steady beat in place of the meandering production of the original without losing any of the signature Weeknd atmosphere. Listen below and head HERE for more from Sango.
