Jet Set Productions - Bitter Sweet (2001)

Jet Set Productions is the solo project of Señor Suzuki of Shizuoka. His music began as the vocal/sax in ska band 'Mustang A.K.A' Making their major debut in 1990, their sound slowly morphed into electric dub under the influence of names such as Masssive Attack and Beats International, then in 1995 he started producing his own tracks as well as continuing as sax player for live band 'Reggae Disco Rockers' before being completely sucked into drum'n'bass on first listen in 1996, and even when playing live, it's still the live drum'n'bass 'session' which forms the basis for Jet Set Productions.

'Bitter Sweet' is a transformation as to seem to be from a different artist altogether. There are no 'pure' drum'n'bass tracks, but instead everything from deep house, live jazzy breaks, Afro-latin crossover tracks, rich, stringy vocal jazz, abstract dub and Afro-bossa-edged dubby reggae, every track presenting a different world, uniting and mixing many styles,yet without confusing them.
