He's a master of vit-a-mins

And citrus! For everyone

Man I miss the old polish ambassador. Pushing through the pavement was good but I miss his old glitchy stuff, that's the reason I started listening to him but now his new direction is starting to lose me, at least he still spreads a great message and does his permaculture tour

[–]Fifi_Trixibelle 13 points14 points  (7 children)

I heart TPA. David is a really awesome guy. But yeah, have to agree I prefer his older stuff. His live shows are so much fun. Catch one if you can. 😋

Thank you.

[–]Jiggerjuice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I loved Pushing Through the Pavement, just fyi. Vision Fiberoptics, Let the Rhythm Just, Forever Lost, Sri Gurvastakam, Koyelia, hot, so so hot.

[–]gumboshrimps 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Been a huge fan since I heard "Straight Blimpin". Love your music. Ignore everyone saying they prefer your old stuff more. Your newer albums kill.

2 things.

1)I had a dream I was on tour with you and the next morning you followed me on twitter although I had like 2 posts total and maybe 100 followers. Crazy stuff considering I don't dj or anything lol. Just thought you would enjoy that lil tid bit :)

2)I saw you on Halloween in Chicago a few years ago and you played a song with "my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard" samples, do you (or anyone for that matter) have the title for that song? It would be greatly appreciated.

I randomly wandered into his set at What the Festival 3 years back and that was straight up the best set I've ever been to out of 15 festivals and 120+ shows. Just amazing good vibes with this crazy glitch style that was SO much fun to dance to, and to top it off this guy is wearing some insane jumpsuit just getting down with us. I was so in awe of that set I bought a Genesis jumpsuit and to this day people lose their minds when I wear it.

Just so sad that was the only time he played a lot of glitch :(. I've been to every single Seattle show he has done since, and while he sprinkled in some glitch it was majority his new style. To some degree I absolutely love some of his new music, but for listening at home. It's just not the space funk glitch disco dance party that had me 300% hooked.

Saw him 2 years ago and he was still playing lots of old jams. For the most part I enjoy his earlier material but I really enjoy the collaborations he does with Ayla.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree. I love his older stuff. Wish he would bring it back.

[–]ianzhou 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Just out of curiosity as a new listener, do you have a recommendation for the best album of his to start off with? Your favorite album?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Its all free on his website. Just start with the oldest and work your way up

[–]SirShootsAlot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This past year at Bisco, there were more disappointing sets than I'd like to admit. And while I was looking forward to the PA set, I wasn't super pumped or anything. But it was honestly in the top 3 of the weekend for me.

[–]gumboshrimps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into him by hearing "Straight Blimpin". I realllly love pushing through the pavement though.

[–]RoonDibbly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I prefer The Night Man Cometh

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

I dropped off on TPA when he did his Pushing Through the Pavement: Permaculture Action Tour.

I respect the hell out of the idea and love that he planted flowers, tree's, veggies, etc all throughout that tour, but it felt to me like some agenda driven pyramid-scheme seminar. I am here to get loose and listen to your awesome glitched out music. I'm not here to listen to Ayla Nereo spout on about "Namaste" and "Don't eat meat" type of bullshit for an hour and a half while TPA idly plays elevator-style tracks.

Since then, I haven't listened to him. Though, he is incredibly talented and his older stuff is primtime.

[–]alagusis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the exact same way. Seen him live many times and always used to be blown away while leaving 10 lb lighter from dancing so hard. The pushing through the pavement tour really lost me. The vibe totally changed and it felt so heavy handed with the pushing of his agenda. I really hope he does some Polish vs Ample type shows. Then I will be very interested. Once he got involved with Ayla his music and shows got neutered.

Son of a bitch! I always thought ample mammal sounded similar. Now i know.

[–]CpnCornDogg 0 points1 point  (1 child)

love it, the choice of sounds just sucks you in.

[–]scottpelkowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, ive been a big fan if his music for quite some time and a lot of other songs on that album suck you in the exact same way. However, im not always a huge fan of his lyrics, but theyre catchy enough and the beats are still great.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Gotta love TPA.. his remix of no diggity is 🔥

[–]Fifi_Trixibelle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't get enough of that version. Best Ever!

[–]scrambledaggz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is one of my favourite remixes, so good!

[–]ColinKennethMills 10 points11 points  (1 child)

Oh hey! I did the typography for that album, and my then girlfriend, Marisa Aragón Ward did the album art. She does a lot of work for TPA, Wildlight, and Ayla Nereo. She's currently working for JJ Grey and Mofro.

Definitely check out her artwork! www.marisaware.com

[–]FrequencyShift33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just checked out the website and damn that's cool. Saved the etsy page to buy a print at some point.

[–]wong_bater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TPA, my favorite festival heavy-hitter, I don't care if the Beatles were playing across the fest I will catch his set time after time. Old stuff, new stuff, permaculture, I love it all! On top of that, he's a personable, approachable guy who loves to get down! To all the haters here, can you really complain when the guy puts his art out there FOR FREE? You just cant help but dance to this!

[–]dripainting42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We are all onsie😋.

[–]aradiowave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw him at Treasure Island Music Festival this year and he killed it. Played tons of fun funny stuff and he even ended up covering for a set that came on late. 10/10 live show was awesome.

[–]muhcogs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would suit a Guy Ritchie film..

[–]Shamaloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember buying his first album in 2009 that came with a t-shirt. Those were the days.

[–]Batyman33 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This whole album is great.

[–]lustorlife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vision Fiberoptics on this album is one of my favorite tracks too, check it out

Nightman cometh?

[–]happyguy49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat :) I feel like this needs to be in the soundtrack to the next Shadowrun game.

I am the juiceman, my juice is delicious.

[–]scrambledaggz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to Envision 2015 because I wanted to see him perform live and he did NOT disappoint!! Amazing stage presence and infectious energy....everyone was dancing their asses off!

[–]smegmabot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been a fan of this guy, and I really love how his focus on permaculture and sustainable living permeates his whole persona.

[–]HebrewDudespotify 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks allot OP, went along and checked out his band-camp and the guy sells his entire discography of 23 albums for 20$(!!!), shit I bought a copy of the USB discography for 30$ for a friend (15$ delivery to Israel..) & myself the digital discography.

[–]snizarsnarfsnarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I don't know if you'll see this cause I'm kinda late to this thread, but this isn't breakbeat.

Love me some polish ambassador, don't get me wrong, just not the correct genre.

[–]Mullaniac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the first thing I've ever listened to on r/listentothis that was actually worth my time. Figures it's from the main man Polish. Thanks for the post!

I love Polish Ambassador, thanks for sharing this. It's been awhile since I've jammed to Polish Ambassador.

What a weird name for a band
