Now residing in Berlin, his new surroundings have \u00a0made their mark on his sound but his UK influences are still clear with <em>Higher<\/em> channelling early rave aesthetics while B side <em>Rapture<\/em> is off kilter melodic techno.

Rhythmically evolving throughout, the track is ethereal and dynamic with the synth layers and bass interplaying and dropping back throughout the peaks and troughs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Rapture<\/em> continues the nightclub vibe with a driving emotive minor chord sequence carrying the track. The breakdown sees it drop out to momentarily turn mellower with pitched up vocal snaps coming in before arpeggiated synths build back up into the beat with wonderful flourishes from 8 bit synths.<\/p>\n<p>Ambassadeurs widespan electronica sound draws from many genres and styles all moulded together with his slick signature production. His output has won him strong support in particular on BBC Radio 1 from Monki, Huw Stephens and Phil Taggart as well as online press including The Fader, Mixmag, Vice, iD, Clash, XLR8R and Earmilk. Though he releases through his own Lost Tribe Records imprint, many other labels have also picked up on his talents with his remixing services utilised by the likes of Tru Thoughts, Ninja Tune, Moshi Moshi, Fat Cat, Wah Wah 45s, Universal and Rough Trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Ambassadeurs returns with their new single, Higher, which is released on his own Lost Tribe Records imprint.\u00a0Unafraid to explore new musical or geographical territories, his <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=22658\" title=\"Ambassadeurs unveil new single &#8216;Higher&#8217;\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22719,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[13,28,30,1907],"tags":[5204,1745,5205],"class_list":["post-22658","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-electronic-music","category-music","category-new-release","category-news","tag-ambassadeurs","tag-higher","tag-lost-tribe-records"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/27466-a58a9e3bffd5b917f3a33bc9da2f6ceb.jpg?fit=640%2C427","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-5Ts","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5069,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=5069","url_meta":{"origin":22658,"position":0},"title":"The Twilight Sad share Com Truise remix","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"October 8, 2012","format":false,"excerpt":"FatCat Records has announced The Twilight Sad's 'No One Can Ever Know - The Remixes,'\u00a0which will be out on\u00a0November 20.
