Kay Suzuki, a London-based Japanese producer and DJ, has grown up surrounded by quality music since whole his family love music. He's influenced by music with social / cultural background of its time and place such as Soul, Jazz, Funk, Afro-beat, Latin, House, Broken beat, Detroit techno, and everything in between or beyond. Dubbed “the hardest working Japanese producer/DJ in London”, Kay isn't about any particular genre of music - or whether it's electronic or live, but rather about the grooves that makes bodies and hearts move. He makes this magic happen through his own night and label called b i p o l a r , which came from his philosophy towards art and human sense.
Since moved to London on 2004, he’s heavily involved London’s club scene and had a debut release on BBC award winning party/label Coopr8(CO-OP) then released remixes and original track on several outputs including his own b i p o l a r ‘s re-edit vinyles.
He also launched same label in Japan and licensed 2 titles from Coopr8 including his own tune and remix.
His productions have received support from DJs all over the world including Gilles Peterson, Patrick Forge, Bugz In The Attic, Karizma, IG Culture, Domu, Snowboy, Benji B, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Jazztronik and many other worldwide DJs and taste makers alike.
As a DJ, he was invited by numbers of promoters in Europe and Japan and had great support from local music lovers because of his diverse and universal selection of the music.

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.
b i p o l a r is the brainchild of London based Japanese DJ/Producer Kay Suzuki as A&R.
It is a Record Label, Party and most importantly, a philosophy towards life, art and human sense - all the beautiful things and moments are born from completely opposite factors' combination.
Introducing the music with its cultural and social background to be able to understand the real intention of the music and its roots, b i p o l a r was born and be rooted its home in London - the most diverse cultural city in the world which has undeniable heritage of rhythm, harmony, human complex and experiments. Music is always the spiritual echo of human's society in time and as we are living in such a globalized societies now, London represents our feeling with many perspectives.
Artists create the echo from their soul and can be resonant with others in any place and time. That's what b i p o l a r cares.
