Takuya Nakamura talks about finding his musical voice through the trumpet and discovering jungle and sound system culture as a young musician in Boston and New York. 

He reflects on the challenges of navigating an elitist jazz scene, learning from clubs rather than classrooms, and developing a horn style that moves with DJs and the energy of the dancefloor. Nakamura also discusses the post-pandemic revival of jungle and drum & bass and the global reach of music rediscovered online. 

Massuma talks about his new path in UK Afro house, moving from accomplished grime producer to a sound that’s hypnotic, global, and feels more like his own.

Instead of following trends or expectations, he speaks about surprise, presence, and the self-directed discipline that shapes his sets. We get into his early DJ frustrations and feeling like a human jukebox, the DIY grind of honing his craft, and the thrill of creating music that moves people. 

Rob Birch talks about staying creative without clinging to the 90s legacy that follows Stereo MCs wherever they play. 

Instead of nostalgia, he speaks about energy, presence, and the quiet discipline that’s kept him moving for more than three decades. We get into the early DIY days of digging through bins for samples, the disorientation of sudden success, and the challenge of making work that still makes you feel something - in a world flooded with music.
