Ambassadeurs is the dubstep, breakbeat, trip pop flavoured one man act, created by Brighton boy Mark Dobson.
Having played i-D MIX back in October, Ambassadeurs were one of the few acts brave enough to loft their bedroom gear to the Shoreditch Butchery space and play live in front of a crowd. Mark Dobson boldly experiments with sounds, creating a truly unique and refreshing noise that is garnering serious interest on the underground club scene.
