Takuya Nakamura, the Japanese trumpeter and producer, closes fabric and Sennheiser’s 2026 series with an intimate hybrid set at The View from The Shard.
Takuya Nakamura, the Japanese trumpeter and producer who records for fabric Records, plays a hybrid set at The View from The Shard at London Bridge on Thursday 5 November 2026.
His musical life spans almost 35 years. He started in Tokyo’s jazz clubs, studied at the New England Conservatory in Boston and found jungle in the early 1990s, before settling in New York.
His sets join DJing, live electronics, vocals and trumpet, moving between jazz, jungle, dub and fusion. The album, Shape The Future, pairs studio recordings with a live set recorded in fabric’s Room 03.
Its first single, “Broken Jazz”, is a collaboration with the London jungle producer Tim Reaper. The first chapter came out on 29 October, and the live chapter follows on 12 November.
The evening is the last of five sunset dates that fabric and Sennheiser, the audio brand, have held this year at the viewing gallery. Sven Väth opened the series in August, and Goldie, Kölsch and East End Dubs followed.
