Introduce yourself? Pronouns? Where do you currently reside? 

Hello, I’m James Baangura and I currently reside in Washington D.C.

Describe your ideal music listening situation for digging…

For digital digging, my ideal listening environment is early morning in my living room at home while drinking ginger tea. For Vinyl, I like to go on off days to my favorite local shops when there is not a great deal of foot traffic.It gives me the sense of not having to rush any selections.

How do you deal with being nervous before a gig? 

DJing for me is a form of communication. So for me I like to come to gigs early and talk with people in the crowd, learn about them and who they are. That’s important to me, it’s like sharing a meal and talking over delicious food.

Favorite thing to cook? 

I love to bake chicken and add asparagus and basmati rice. Very simple but very versatile. You can do so many things with that combination and it’s affordable haha.

Favorite DJ mixing trick? 

I love to use filter and echo FX in unison for transitions. It’s a way to make false buildups that aren’t already present in a track. Looping vocals or melodies over other tracks is something I like to do for on the spot edits.

What color would you pick to represent the way you produce? 

Clay(Red+Brown) I love warmth in music.If it can feel a bit cozy then it’s an automatic yes for me.

Listen to 11:11 in your PI mix… describe how it makes you feel?

Oh I love this blend. It makes me feel like I'm at a tribal celebration. 

When I was in the military I was fortunate enough to participate in tribal celebrations in Northern Afghanistan and to witness that first hand was sobering. Tribalism is such a raw human experience.

Any advice to upcoming DJs/producers? 

Continue to be you. No need to replicate what anyone else has done. Push yourself in your craft. There is no such thing as a bad question, if you don’t know, ask. Also reaching out to artists you respect for guidance is a good thing. More often that not they’ll you. Make music with friends, you’ll learn much quicker. Finally, make sure it remains fun. If you lose that, re-asses and determine how you can regain that.

What would you like to see in the future for the dance community?

I’d love to see more infrastructure for North American Dance music. The community is there but the spaces are minimal. So more nightclubs, more underground radio platforms, more publications, more curated festivals. North America now is taking up a bigger part of the conversation because of the last few years and I love that. I hope to see a definitive increase in the next few years.

"Stranded, not in space, but far below the surface of an otherworldly ocean. Breathing does not seem to be an issue here. Water, or a liquid that resembles it, surrounds you. Glimmers of light from unknown sources dance around the environment, allowing for just enough visibility to make out the landscape. A place where the lines between synthetic and organic appear to be blurred, where life slinks and flows like the domain it inhabits. The space around you seems to breathe with every step as you fumble in the dim light. Impossible to know friend from foe, bizarre lifeforms curiously approach, un-afraid, as they have no reason to believe there is any threat present. The existence of shapes, colors, and behaviors beyond conventional understanding piques your curiosity and fear. With no knowledge of how this place came to be or how to survive in it, you set off into the vastness that surrounds you."

“I’ve been having a ton of fun exploring the 90-100 bpm range as I haven’t historically branched into that realm. I thought that a lot of the music I was enjoying at that tempo fit the concept of the mix series, so I wanted to see what I could do with it. It was a fun challenge using tracks I wouldn’t typically play out on a dance floor. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.”

I’m a dj, producer, and event organizer from Washington D.C. I find it very difficult to stick to a single style or tempo and I try to reflect that in all the work that I do. I’m incredibly lucky to be surrounded by so many talented, caring people that make up the dance music scene in D.C. and I find inspiration in that daily. In 10 years, I want to look back and know that I positively contributed to and deeply impacted the community that gave me chances to play music for them.

COMPLEX / reflection - Resom - 27 Jan 2024

An hour of music with my dear friend Jai ( @milkmankind ) from Bombay (Mumbai), India: 
“I’ve created this one-hour mix for my dear friend Valesuchi in honor of my late neighbor, the Hindustani Classical legend Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma. As a child, I was inspired by the sound of his santoor every morning as he played various ragas and hosted legends like Ustad Zakir Hussain and Pandit Ravi Shankar. Through this mix, I pay homage to the remarkable music and unforgettable memories from my childhood. Growing up next to a legend and witnessing greatness every morning was a true blessing. I hope you enjoy it.”

Tracklist:
Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma	- Mishra Mand Dhun
Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma, Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, Jugalbandi - Jhinjhoti
USTAD ALLA RAKHA & ZAKIR HUSSAIN - TABLA
Ustad Zakir Hussain, Pt. Ravi Shankar	- Asa Bhairav

With previous outings on Counter Intelligence, and Fanu's Lightless Recordings among others, DAK makes a welcome return with four tracks exploring the limits of drum and bass. From the spaced-out percussion of the title track, via high tech jazz fusion sounds all the way to the minimalism of 'Viimeiset Skunkit', DAK brings a highly unique style to the modern day drum & bass masses.
