Sango Drops Unexpected House & Techno Album ‘Great Lakes Influence’ – This Song is Sick
Sango is widely known as one of the more prolific beatsmiths in underground music. One of the most prominent artists from the Soulection crew, his music often centers around hip-hop. This past weekend, he switched lanes to release a new mixtape/album called Great Lakes Influence, which features his most house & techno-leaning sound to date.
Sango was prompted to release this project, which he had been sitting on, after Drake unveiled Honestly, Nevermind, which consisted mainly of house-inspired production. Sango tweeted shortly after Drake’s release: “Imma release my house/techno album then.” He went on to say how he was originally inspired by his father, who grew up around the birth of house music in Chicago.
And like I grew up around this shit. The skating rinks the jittin ask my dad he witnessed the birth of house music in Chicago. Real N Halsted St legend. So, for those that are wondering..nah this ain’t no trend.

Great Lakes Influence contains 13 tracks. While many of them feature a groovy four-to-the-floor drum rhythm, there are also a lot of electro patterns—a style that was birthed in the 80s that has the same tempo as house, but with more broken-up grooves.
You can listen to the full album below. Enjoy!
