Kay Suzuki's musical journey began in a sleepy suburb of Japan where he was brought up with a musical education of Soul, Jazz and Funk. Later he became acquainted with dance music culture and moved to London in 2004. He got heavily involved with London's club scene and met various type of artists from all over the globe. Through the experience, he finally found the musical family which gave birth to this album, a new global conscious music in our time.
First single from the album including remixes by UK veteran producer Atjazz and Dominican's rising star Ezel which had massive international support from DJs such as Osunlade, Marc Marc(4hero), Alton Miller, Seiji, Robert Owens, Kyoto Jazz Massive and more. The Opening EP has been selected as "Levi's® Japan Recommend Disc", playing in LEVI'S® flagship stores and via their listening booths across Japan, alongside Gilles Peterson's latest release.
The album opens up with an organic house beat with the soul of Africa - sublime and uplifting track "MUSIC" connecting West African traditional music and UK grooves with a spice of Japanese sense. You will experience more cross-genre/cultural collaboration all the way through the album and realise there's no need to categorise this musical experience.
This album brings together the cultures of Africa, Europe and Japan united by the message of Soul music with creative attitude of Jazz and Dance music and represents a deep sentiment that cannot be expressed in words.

bipolar HEAD QUARTER
When two opposing forces collide, there’s an energy created. A big bang – and in
bipolar’s case, it’s an explosion of music, philosophy, art and life.Welcome to a
world where east meets west, right meets wrong, bass meets treble, and night
meets day. Bipolar embodies these dichotomies, eschewing boundaries and reveling
in bringing polarities together. Sometimes, it can take some juggling – some deft
negotiation, but the outcome is worth it. That off-kilter harmony, which underpins
all bipolar puts its mind to.
