Jet Jaguar

aka Michael Upton


Over the last 20 years, Wellington-based electronic music producer Michael Upton has performed across New Zealand, Australia and Japan. Through that time, he has released four albums, countless EPs and remixes, and made a cult name for himself through his future-forward explorations of a diverse range of electronic music styles.

Since his early experiences playing in warehouses around Wellington, to multimedia performances in Tokyo nightclubs and back again, Upton has maintained his position as one of the more inspired, inventive and consistent electronic music producers in New Zealand.
