about

The Heights is James Bangura’s debut on Numbers, uplifting the sonic and social energies of his creative communities in Washington D.C.

Marrying the beatdown intensity of his work with Black Rave Culture with the finessed propulsion of productions for labels like Incienso, Haus of Altr, 3024, and Local Action, The Heights represents a new chapter in Bangura’s artistic story as a torchbearer for elevating D.C.’s stories and scene – especially that of the Columbia Heights neighbourhood and its melting pot of demographics, influences, and styles – to an international audience. The music is jacking and persuasive, with power-wash drums, melodies and momentum to spare, and a slurred lyrical turn from the enigmatic NAPPYNAPPA of D.C.’s beloved experimental rap duo Model Home. "Doner Dub" is a bonus track on the release – a dancefloor tool tailor-made for the shutters moment during his last DJ set in Berlin. It’s the first of Bangura’s releases for Numbers, and luckily not the last.

I love all Hessle Audio releases because they're just plain fun. This sort of thing hearkens back to 1991 in a good way with classic "rave" breakbeat elements with a modern touch of course. I think people have new labels for this music but it sounds like classic rave breakbeats to me and this is far from a bad thing. jonarmst
