THE POLISH AMBASSADOR w/ LIMINUS :: MR. LIF :: AYLA NEREO :: WILDLIGHT :: OCTOBER 14 :: SWAXX
We're embarking on a 30+ city tour and we've linked up with a team of permaculture teachers, urban farmers, community organizers, and network weavers to add to the already growing team of musicians, lyricists, and visual artists that make up Jumpsuit Records and The Polish Ambassador experience. We'll be teaching permaculture at shows through spoken word, video, and resources for people to take home; bringing local groups and organizations out to put a focus on the change they're making in each city; and hosting impact days attended by YOU guys to build community projects. Pushing Through the Pavement is taking action to transform the places where we live.

THE POLISH AMBASSADOR

For the Polish Ambassador project, born on the richly-colored streets of Chicago and San Francisco, infectious melody is paramount. However, this never overshadows the depth and harmonic complexity that have made the Ambassador a favorite amongst festival curators and beat aficionados worldwide. Over the course of 6 years, his sound has dipped and swirled through a staggering range of styles, with each album exploring uncharted sonic territory. Warm, analogue dreamwave; mind-altering glitch; world-infused groove; bass-fueled breaks; sexified downtempo; electric lullabies; and psy-fi funk are just a few of the genres that have poured from the Ambassador's soul into earbuds and ghetto-blasters across the galaxy.
Despite the political connotations of his name, the Ambassador is not a political partisan. Rather, he is a diplomat for a new paradigm rooted in creative joy, radical self-expression, and ecological principles. As part of this mission, the Ambassador has committed to carbon-neutral touring, instigating exploratory dance, and igniting fan participation.
Flanked on the Ambassador's left is visual artist Liminus, a master of translating dynamic, sonic landscapes into breathtaking video projection. Liminus's improvisational abilities are a perfect compliment to the Ambassador's custom-tailored audio transmission, and his presence on stage allows for an audio/visual synergy rarely witnessed in electronic music performance.
Together, the duo will take you on a voyage that leaves you drenched in sweat, with a smile slapped on your face, and a heart busted wide open.
Check the calendar, TPA's Space Escalade is likely docking at an Earth city near you. To prepare yourself download the Ambassador's 12 album, 30 remix discography for "Name Your Price" at Bandcamp (http://thepolishambassador.bandcamp.com/)
MR. LIF

https://www.facebook.com/mrlif
Tired of clichés, a culture in crisis, and a floundering economy, Lif stands apart as a new breed of MC - appealing to listeners burned out by the trivialities of hyper-consumerism and egomania that have infested hip hop culture and society.
Born and raised in Boston, Lif brokeout with his seminal "Enters The Colossus" EP (Def Jux 2000), and quickly established himself as one of the most ambitious and forward-thinking MCs in the game. He further cemented this status with a string of acclaimed releases, including "Emergency Rations" (EP), "I Phantom" (LP), & the Perceptionists' "Black Dialogue" project with fellow Boston MC, Akrobatik.
Based on the strength of his releases and relentless live show, Lif has been featured in MTV, Rolling Stone, SPIN, The NY Times, The Village Voice, Entertainment Weekly, and XXL among others.
AYLA NEREO

https://soundcloud.com/ayla-nereo
Ayla Nereo's voice hits straight to the heart. Wielding an array of loop-pedals, she layers sweeping vocal melodies into majestic harmonies, weaving in syncopated rhythms and instrumentation to create an immersive soundscape of music medicine. Her lucid storytelling and lyrical imagery are water for the thirsty soul; sounds embodying the many folds of our own selves. It is music both timeless and modern; circle songs and roots music meet folktronica. Each performance is a journey: an inspired, wondrous experience that holds you by the heart and doesn't let go.
WILDLIGHT
https://www.facebook.com/wildlightmusic
https://soundcloud.com/wildlight
Wildlight is the space between the notes, the earth's undulating pulse, the modern echoes of ancient rhythms. It is a sound that will spark your body into motion and swing your soul into flight. An unlikely pairing of a folk songwriter and an electronic music composer has yielded a new sound; music that gracefully traverses human emotions, but can also jumpstart a party into a syncopated bounce.
While vocalist Ayla Nereo delicately crafts songs that climb and tumble through a landscape of crescendos and harmonies, seasoned composer David Sugalski (aka The Polish Ambassador) keeps the beats and bass rooted deep in the subatomic layers of the earth.
LIMINUS
https://www.facebook.com/liminus
https://twitter.com/LiminusVisuals
Since 2001, Liminus has spent most of his waking hours making paintings and interactive art. In the early months of 2012, however, he left behind most everything he knew and strapped himself into the Polish Ambassador's space Escalade. Since then, Liminus and the Ambassador have performed over a hundred shows together, co-piloted more than 20,000 miles of American road, and spent untold hours scheming on art in poorly-decorated hotel rooms and desolate airports. This unusually deep collaboration between an electronic musician and a visual artist has propelled the duo into rich creative territory.
In contrast to most musical acts, the Ambassador and Liminus perform side by side, to feed off each other's inspiration and to put the show's visual dimension on par with the music. Being in such synergistic flow, and also so intimately acquainted with the music, allows Liminus to create improvisational visuals that are exquisitely attuned to the mood of the music.
When not on stage with Polish, Liminus can usually be found neck-deep in some geeky art shit. While normal people sleep, Liminus feverishly draws, programs, and hacks, endlessly looking for ways to make TPA shows more and more dynamic, immersive, and interactive. To witness the delicious madness he is currently cooking up, get your ass and your eyes down to the nearest Polish Ambassador show.
