A fellow photographer – Saeka! I caught up with her and a pal with a nice stash of records just scored from Jet Set which, a little like Big Love Records, keeps a highly curated inventory of mostly new-ish records, finds that for the more discerning listener. Maybe I’m imagining things, but walking around with records in a Jet Set bag says to the more basic (in that modern dismissive sense) listeners like me, “That gay/gal didn’t just score some records from Jet Set …that person IS A JETSETTER!” That could actually be true because when Saeka produced the records from her bag, they were 3 highly intriguing titles, that yet again, I was completely unfamiliar with, New Cool Collective’s “Trippin’ featuring Tony Allen”, Djeuhdjoah & Lieutenant Nicholson’s “2+”, and finally ozoyo’s Cosmic Planta!
I feel like I may have stumbled into the best new way to discover new music and who are the people in your neighborhood. Thanks for posing for Tokyo Record Style, Saeka, and thank you for the great music recommendations here via your eclectic Jet-setting tastes, and good luck with your photography career. Judging by your work (which everybody should check out – it’s hip AF and highly provocative), seems like you have a very bright future ahead! Hope to see you out there in record land again!
