New Music – Ambassadeurs “Make Me”

Yet another talented artist from Brighton, Mark Dobson adds even more credibility to one of the best music scenes in the country.  His project Ambassadeurs, is one of my favourite discoveries of the last few years, and here’s why it should be one of yours too. Anyone who thinks that electronic music has no soul, listen up.

Ambassadeurs – aka Mark Dobson

Dobson gained some attention after his track M.O.P.E exploded across the internet, and has since released a string of unique and fantastic EP’s. His style is somewhere between ambient, bass heavy hip-hop and energetic synth-laden trap.  If you’re not into a hyphenated mess of genres and adjectives, he uses pitched up vocals, heavy bass and unusual synths to produce a soulful signature sound. While I haven’t caught a live set of his (yet), I have it on good authority that it’s as weird and wonderful as his productions.

Absolutely love the new @AmbassadeursDJ EP, gorgeous. New @ModeratOfficial is very pretty too.

With recent support from electronic giant, Feed Me, Dobson is starting to turn heads, but nowhere near as much as he deserves. Ever the generous one, he’s got a treasure trove of free downloads available on his soundcloud, as well as three superb EP’s to his name. His latest track “Make Me” samples 90’s dance classic “U Sure Do” by Strike, and gives it a fresh, gritty feel. It debuted earlier this week on THUMP, and is available to download through his mailing list.

With his first official single being announced for release in February, the next year looks set to hold big things for the Brighton bass merchant.
