INTRODUCING | ANGO

Andrew Gordon aka ANGO particularly caught my eye with his affluent fusion of styles, crossing boundaries of synth driven Hip Hop through to Dub/2Step, whilst digesting the darker sides of techno only to regurgitate nose bleeding Electro. His unpredictable set allowed a glitch remix of dirty south Crunk to co-exist with his ‘first inspiration’ the ‘Lion King’ soundtrack. With offbeat basslines, snares and bleeps flung all over a jam packed arena, I soon found myself ducking and getting low, real low…low like my name was Shaneeeeqwa “Guuuurl is that a Dollar on the floor…?” low.

What else is gwanin’ in the world of Ango? Aside from holding things down as a crowd motivator at Montreal’s: Turbocrunk . Ango is polishing off his production skills with Ninja Tunes Sixtoo whilst also working on a collaborative new album with British female MC,‘Sontiago’. Look out for “You should know ANGO” podcast and “ADSR&B;” mixtape with flavours from 80’s R&B; and funk chopped up over heavy synths and sub. Keep your eyes peeled for more releases on Halifax based indie label Noyes Records.
