San Francisco based producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist Aabo, real name Aaron Bortz, has established a reputation for reproducing original productions as just as hot covers.

Aabo decided to create an entirely new composition for the song, which features both electronic and organic instrumentation including 808, synths, and guitar.

If this is your first encounter with Megan Gage’s voice, well you have been missing out. The singer/songwriter from San Jose, CA has a unique and edgy sound compared to today’s artist. She works heavily within her collective, Cashmir Collective, as well as with some of the bay area’s local talents including Mikos Da Gawd and Elujay.

Keep your ears tuned to scene as both Aabo and Megan Gage have been putting in work.
