*SOLD OUT* Odesza w/ Hayden James, Ambassadeurs

This event is SOLD OUT, there will be no additional tickets at the door.

ODESZA is a production duo made up of Harrison Mills (Catacombkid) and Clayton Knight (BeachesBeaches) based out of the Pacific North West, United States. They met their senior year of college and decided to spend the summer as recent graduates collaborating on an album. On September 5th, 2012 they self-released a free LP entitled "Summer's Gone", creating a delicate balance between dreamy sun trickled melodies, glitched out vocals, crunchy drums and large sweeping basslines.

Hayden James may have only released his first track in late June 2013, but he has already amassed a million plays across Soundcloud and Youtube for his work. Producing immense summer jams with soulful and evocative vocals his music has stockpiled consistently rave reviews from the US, Europe and Australia alike, being labelled the "face of the new Australian production music scene". Hayden's first single "Permission to Love" garnered worldwide love and attention hitting #1 most blogged on Hype Machine, as well as becoming the most played track on national broadcasting giant Triple J in Australia. It is early days for his debut EP which only dropped at the end of August on tastemaker label Future Classic, but if the initial reaction is anything to go by things are only on the up for Hayden James. Catch him over summer in Australia as he delivers his much anticipated live show to festivals, as well as debut tours in the US and UK.

Ambassadeurs capped a fine 2013 with his latest production, 'Make Me', an epic, bass heavy number complete with his signature melodic flourishes which was premiered in December by the newly launched Thump UK channel.
Ambassadeurs' leftfield electronic music is fast making a name for the young Brighton-based producer. His recent 'Alone In The Night' and 'Trouble' EPs brought him further acclaim from XLR8R, Noisey, Mixmag, This Is Fake DIY and beyond.

He's amassed over 1 million Soundcloud plays and hit XLR8R's most downloaded annual chart (2012) with the EPs Come A Little Closer and M.O.P.E (released on his Lost Tribe imprint), and remixes for labels such as Tru Thoughts, Ninja Tune, Moshi Moshi, Fat Cat, Wah Wah 45s and others.

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 Danny Brown, Gold Panda, Daedelus, Kelpe and Star Slinger, who've chosen him for support shows.
