Not sure I heard about Little Dragon until their most recent album. I'm pretty sure it was the song Ritual Union that got me on board the bandwagon. Have not caught them live yet, but have had them on my play lists for some time now. I hit up their management, and they sent me the stems to Ritual Union. It was a pleasure and honor to be able to remix a group that's currently blowing up and for good reason. These musicians are way talened. This free emix comes on the heels of my Bon Iver - Perth remix. Another dreamy inditronica anthem, this time with a little more pep to set your day in motion on a positive note. So, here it is. The Polish Ambassador remix of Little Dragon's Ritual Union. This track is being released by my friends over at The Untz. They're one of my favorite electronic music blogs. Check them out! It's free, along with over 20 other tracks and remixes. Get this remix below, or get them all here.

I've been wanting to incorporate more fan interactivity into The Polish Ambassador project. My VJ, Liminus, and I have decided to facilitate 3 different fan generated videos. We give you the tools. You create. We collect your work, and post the finished product online. The first fan generated video is the lo-fi version. We're taking it old school and asking you to make a cardboard cutout. Better than explain it here, just watch the video. In the attachement, you will find a zip file with 4 print ready images. Print them on a standard  8 1/2 X 11 inch piece of paper on your home printer. I can't wait to see what kind of creativity we can get from fans. I know a lot of you are hilarious and look forward to posting your work online. Be sure to include your name, where you're from, and anything else, so we can give you props when we post for the world to see!

It's the eve before my first show on what is to be a memorable New Year's Eve Run. First up tomorrow night, I'll be popping by The Sidecar in Park City. I have lots of love for Park City. Two years ago, I played a house party during Sundance Festival. It turned into one of the craziest house parties I've ever been a part of. I'm told that night has become legendary for many peoples in the region. Next up, I'll be flying to Atlanta to join Sound Tribe Sector Nine for 1 night of their always epic 5 night NYE run. This year, they're at the Tabernacle. Never been, but I've been informed it's one of the country's best venues. Next up, I'll be joining Papadosio, and The Werks in their home town of Colombus, Ohio. I don't know what to expect, but as a former Pennsylvanian, I heard rumors our neighbor, Ohio, was one of the more underrated states in the lower 48. We shall see, Ohio. We shall see. Last, and certainly not least, I'll be doing 2 shows in Chicago. First I'll be opening up for Big Gigantic at The Riviera, and then I'll be heading over to House of Blues for a Late Night Set after the Disco Biscuits. 5 shows. 4 nights. 1 Diplomat from the future.

Hey dudes and dudettes. I went into the DJ Tech Tools studio a couple weeks ago, and did a little demo of how I perform Ableton Live. This is for all you peeps looking to get into electronic music performance, or maybe just for thjose interested in what I'm actually doing up there behind stage. I don't give away all my tricks but it's a good little overview to show you one way you can perform live. For me, it's about flexibility, being able to create on the fly, and having a fresh set every night. What's it about for you?

These papers come with only one instruction. "Smoke Only The Finest of Herbs While Space Traveling." You can now get these rolling papers at the TPA store. They're 3 clams a pop, or 60 bones for a case (that will save you 15 duckets), and make you a party favorite when you show up to your next event with rolling papers for all. I may have some of these on tour with me, but it will be rare, so get them from the webstore. Does not include herbs or lighter. Enjoy and smoke responsibly.

Want to cut to the chase and download all Polish Ambassador and Ample Mammal free downloads in one fell swoop? There's a bounty of them, and every time I add one to the mix, I'll upload it here, so if you're new round these parts, this is definitely for you. It's also a great way to introduce your compadres to some new music, as it's a few albums worth of tracks, and yea, they're all free. Enjoy! Album art by Geoff Glisson.

Thanks for downloading! Your donation helps offset the cost of making this music available for free. Not required, but genuinely appreciated :)

Bon Iver seems to have captured the heart of our country with their most recent album. I caught the live show in Chicago while I was on tour and had a night off. I was very taken with the unique vocal qualities of lead singer Justin Vernon. The performance was great, and I've had their albums on my playlists ever since. I'm not quite sure what it is, but the music takes me to a "everything's alright" place from the first few notes. Here's my remix of my favorite track, Perth. It's a free download, so please enjoy and share with your loved ones. You can also check out this video on youtube with amazing visuals to accompany this electronic lullaby. This track is co-released by my friends at The Do Lab. 

Hey peeps. I'm thrilled to announce my friend Ari Makridakis aka Liminus will be joining me on the road starting this winter. He'll be performing the visual accompaniment to my live set for the forseeable future. He's one of the artists spearheading the Occupy Oakland movement, so you can expect some wicked cool art with the possibility of some political messages intcorporated. You can keep up with him on his Facebook page. Liminus will also be in charge of crowd interactivity at shows. Expect to take some very unique experiences away from live shows this winter. We're schemeing on some real cool stuff right now. Check out the video he did for my STS9 - Scheme Remix.

It's been about a year since I've hit San Diego, so I'm stoked to be heading back for a little pre Thanksgiving party at U31. I'll be joined by my homie Stephan Jacobs for this one. We met in Colorado and then did a couple shows together in the Pacific Northwest. Great dude, great producer. Check him out. The show is being put on by Soundlogik. They run a dope music blog that's featured a bunch of my tracks in the past year, so I'm happy to get down there and meet these peeps. This will be my 3rd show in San Diego with hopefully more to come soon. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making some new ones. You can get tickets on my website here. You can also get a free ticket if you buy my digital discography here. Hell yea. Can't wait for this one!!

Super excited to announce that I'm going to be a part of Vail Snow Days this year. It's basically a weekend festival Vail Mountain resort puts on to kick off the early ski season. I'll be playing the final day of the festy, Sunday, December 11th. You'll also be able to catch Guster, Jakob Dylan, and Yukon Cornelius. Get your lodging specials and read more about the event here. This is a FREE outdoor event, so I hope to see Colorado out in force. Peep the promotional video put out by Vail Mountain using my remix of The Glitch Mob's "Drive it Like You Stole it."
