The long-awaited first official LP from Michigan-based producer Sango, North, will release digitally on Soulection July 23, 2013 with vinyl to follow. 

Sango’s North 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. 

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. 

10+ casual releases later, North combines the best of Sango over the last few years into one seamless musical journey. North is a love story of two people, on a journey, who find better things in themselves when they are with each other. North in Hebrew as noted visually in the album art [that Sango designed himself], representing a sense of “heaven” or “glory” are symbolic to Sango, as he sees everything he does an artist for the greater glory, the greater good, as something bigger than himself.

We're happy to announce our first white label of 2015 by the muti-instrumentalist and vocalist Chris McClenney. His diversity is what sets him apart. It's amazing to watch him find his sound direction/rhythm. We've watched him experiment with bass heaters, house music, funk, and other styles, but what we love most is that all of his production always has soul in it. 

Lately he's been on a roll with his production and singing. There's only a few people who can make music that gives us the feeling that D'Angelo does and this white label by Chris does exactly that. 

We're excited to see where Chris goes from here on out. He has our support 1000%. Enjoy and spread this to all music lovers.

Chris McClenney - All I Want Is You

The 63 sessions - My fair lady

[Intro — spoken, like a prayer in a studio booth]

Down by the many waters…
Where the river keeps secrets and the sky keeps score.
I came to listen… not to shine.

[Verse 1]

We walked out past the dust of Judea roads,
Sand on our shoes, but peace in our throats.
Stayed awhile where the wild reeds bend,
Dipping old names, letting new ones begin.
Over at Aenon, near Salem’s sigh,
So much water, it could wash a night.
People coming like a restless sea,
Looking for a clean heart, looking to be free.

[Pre-Chorus]

And I heard the talk in the heat and the glare—
“Who’s the true one? Who’s got the prayer?”
But heaven don’t hustle, heaven don’t race…
It gives what it gives by grace.

[Chorus — big, sweet, horn-led lift]

Let Him rise like morning, let me fade like flame,
I’m not the crown, I’m just the name you call before His name.
I’m the friend by the doorway, smiling through the sound,
When the Bridegroom’s voice is moving, I don’t need to be found.
More of You… (more of You)
Less of me… (less of me)
That’s my joy—full and holy—
More of You… less of me.

[Verse 2]

They came to me with jealous eyes,
“Rabbi, they’re leaving—everybody’s running to His side.”
I said, “Child, you can’t hold what you never owned,
A gift from above ain’t a stone you throw.
I told you plain, I’m not the One,
I’m the road that whispers, ‘Here He comes.’
I’m a witness in the shadow’s glow,
Pointing to the light so the light can show.”

[Pre-Chorus]

’Cause love ain’t loud, it don’t demand,
It opens its palm, it loosens its hand.
And when the voice I waited for draws near—
All my striving disappears.

[Chorus — repeat, add backing vocals “Amen / mm-hm”]

Let Him rise like morning, let me fade like flame,
I’m not the crown, I’m just the name you call before His name.
I’m the friend by the doorway, smiling through the sound,
When the Bridegroom’s voice is moving, I don’t need to be found.
More of You… (more of You)
Less of me… (less of me)
That’s my joy—full and holy—
More of You… less of me.

[Bridge — hush down, Hammond + bass, confession-style]

I don’t need the river to mirror my face,
I don’t need the crowd to remember my place.
If the heavens have spoken, I’ll take my part—
A smaller song with a steady heart.
Let the Jordan keep rolling, let the waters run,
I’ll step back slow when the work’s begun.
’Cause the truest hallelujah I can breathe…
Is letting You be seen.

[Final Chorus — bigger, horns + choir feel, ad-libs]

Let Him rise like morning (rise, rise), let me fade like flame (oh, fade),
I’m not the crown, I’m just the name you call before His name.
I’m the friend by the doorway (standing right here), smiling through the sound,
When the Bridegroom’s voice is moving, I don’t need to be found.
More of You… (more of You, Lord)
Less of me… (less of me)
That’s my joy—full and holy—
More of You… less of me.

[Outro — vamp, repeat softly]

More of You… less of me…
(Mm… many waters… sweet voice…)
More of You… less of me…

More of You, Less of Me
