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

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 neighborhood 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. It’s the first of Bangura’s releases for Numbers, and luckily not the last.
