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.
