Daktyl uses his multi-instrumentalist talents and diverse musical background to make insane beat driven grooves of a new future sound which completely disregards the confines of a single genre.
Having recently completed a 32 date tour of the US and Canada with Slow Magic, Daktyl now has a string of forthcoming releases with Mad Decent.
His energetic live performances have seen him play alongside the likes of XXYYXX, Baauer, Plastician, Lunice, Artful Dodger, and close for The Bloody Beetroots.
Ambassadeurs (aka Mark Dobson) started out learning his craft on an 8-bit Amiga computer, wrestling with the notoriously tricky Octamed while the rest of us were playing Lemmings. After the requisite teenage years in psychedelic rock bands, he upgraded to Logic and began working with electronic instruments, getting inside the machinery to make them sound the way he wanted.
Taking cues from dub, hip-hop, bass and jazz, but sounding like none of these genres, Ambassadeurs’ sound is hard to pigeonhole. His distinctive style can be attributed to a Tobin-like love for turning found sounds into samples and processing them beyond recognition – creating music as unique as his talent.
An impressive live show has rapidly brought him a growing following. And it’s not only new fans; he’s caught the ear of artists including Odesza, Gas Lamp Killer, Danny Brown, Gold Panda, Daedelus, Kelpe and Star Slinger, who’ve chosen him for support shows.
