A Nostalgic Tribute to Landover, Maryland, and the Iconic Capital Centre
Fresh off the success of DMV: All Roads Lead Home, JS aka The Best returns with the latest installment of his instrumental series, The Grand Cinema. Titled LIVE AT THE CAPITAL CENTRE, this concept album is a heartfelt homage to Landover, Maryland—one of the core neighborhoods where JS grew up—and the legendary Capital Centre, a historic venue that once hosted unforgettable sports events, entertainment, and music performances.
“THE GRAND CINEMA 15: LIVE AT THE CAPITAL CENTRE” features 16 masterfully crafted Go-Go instrumentals that capture the essence of the DMV area’s vibrant sound and culture. Each track is an invitation to “crank” and also “bounce beat” offering listeners an immersive experience that reflects the energy, soul, and nostalgia of an era in the DMV area musical history.
This instrumental album stands as a testament to JS’s production skills, blending the iconic Go-Go rhythms with cinematic elements that elevate the listening experience. As the first release of 2025, LIVE AT THE CAPITAL CENTRE sets the tone for an exciting year ahead, with JS hinting at an upcoming compilation album featuring a lineup of surprise collaborations.
Speaking on the project, JS said:
“This album is personal to me. It’s a love letter to the DMV and Landover specifically, where I grew up. The Capital Centre was a cultural hub for us, and I wanted to channel that energy and history into something you could feel and vibe to.”
OUT NOW on all digital streaming platforms, The Grand Cinema 15: LIVE AT THE CAPITAL CENTRE is the perfect soundtrack for both long-time fans of Go-Go music and newcomers looking to experience the unique sound of the DMV area.
Stay tuned for updates on JS’s forthcoming projects, as he continues to push boundaries and honor his roots through innovative music.
