Highly regarded New Zealand electronic label Involve Records have announced the release of Jet Jaguar's 3rd album, 'Jet Jaguar is Love'. This is a limited edition of approximately 400 CDs.

Jet Jaguar's last album, 'Think About It Later' was nominated in the bNet Awards this year for Best Electronic Release, and if there is any justice 'Jet Jaguar is Love' will do the same.

The album is a collection of the quieter side of Jet Jaguar's music, packed with tiny details and all wrapped up in warm waves of bass. It's perfect for a later Summer evening. It's still not free from the head nodding beats that have been present on other releases: Jet Jaguar was even approached with the unusual request of allowing one of the tracks on here to be used as the backing track for a commercial R&B group.

The album comes in a beautiful card sleeve with inlay. (bah, that shouldn't go there)

Tracks on this album have been previously released on compilations of electronic music in New Zealand, Australia and the USA.

Director Glen Atkins created a video for the track 'Now Serving' (featuring cuts by DJ Vee), which was 2nd runner up in the 2001 Handle The Jandle competition. Glen also took the prize for Best Editing.

Jet Jaguar has performed at gigs with Prefuse 73 (USA), Salmonella Dub, Nomad, 50Hz, Pitch Black, Aspen, Lava Lava, King Kapisi and is scheduled to play support for Monolake (Germany) in Auckland next week. He is a member of the Dub Connection, which features members of The Black Seeds and Fat Freddy's Drop. His remixes of Dub Connection and The Black Seeds spent lots of time on the indie charts and both received bNet nominations.
