The Polish Ambassador biography

Hailing from Oakland, California, US, The Polish Ambassador, A.K.A David Sugalski, is an American electro-pop producer, who has been making energetic electro anthems since 2005.

Sugalski began playing with music production software whilst studying for a marketing degree at the University of Colorado, Boulder, US, where he found a love for creating his own music digitally. In 2005, he released his debut album, “Diplomatic Immunity,” which showcased a number of 8 and 16-bit electro funk dance floor fillers, gaining a significant amount of support from fans. A video game developer who worked for Microsoft liked the sounds Sugalski was coming up with, hiring him to create a soundtrack for the game.

Sugalski then decided to pursue making music full time, also performing as Ample Mammal, a side project of The Polish Ambassador. As the Polish Ambassador, Sugalski creates upbeat dance music, relying on multi-layered melodies and funky bass. As Ample Mammal, Sugalski aims to create heavily processed drum tracks, taking influence from techno and glitch-filled IDM by the likes of Apex Twin.

Sugalski regularly performs under these two pseudonyms across the US, often performing alongside other electronic musicians. He is known for always wearing a brightly coloured jumpsuit, which he bought from a thrift store for under four dollars. His music travels across many genres, from electro, breakbeat to hip-hop, dub and funk. Performing live, Sugalski develops his tracks differently each time, through using live sound mixing and midi instruments.

Sugalski released “Pushing Through The Pavement,” a full-length record in June 2014. Through his music, he has developed a strong fan following, who are known as the TPA Family, Ambassadorks or simply, ‘The Family.’ He releases his music upon the Jumpsuit Records imprint.

Mark Farina biography

San Francisco, California based Mark Farina is an American DJ who specializes in house, acid jazz and down tempo songs.

Mark Farina was born on 25 March 1969 in Chicago, Illinois, and developed an interest in house music in 1988 when he met Derrick Carter at a record store. He started to experiment with songs that weren’t being played in the underground clubs, such as De La Soul and disco classics, while also playing with the “purist forms” of house music. Eventually he developed a trademark style known as Mushroom Jazz, which incorporates acid jazz with west coast jazz with a little bit of urban beats.

Farina started to gain a solid following, and started to play regularly together with Patty Ryan at a nightclub in San Francisco, California. Despite the fan following, the club that Ryan and Farina played nightly in had closed, leading to Farina releasing albums of his songs. The resulting records were a series entitled “Mushroom Jazz” which included a total of seven within the series. Farina also continued to travel internationally to perform his live sets for his fans; in fact, he has had some shows that have been known to go for eight hours. Farina has also been known to play multiple rooms in one club or party. Additionally, Farina also released twelve other records including both studio recorded and live recorded performances.

Live reviews

David Sugalski, aka. The Polish Ambassador, despite his name is an electronic dance musician from California. He’s an incredibly talented disk jockey, and in fact began his career DJ-ing when he was back in college, studying marketing. I’ve been aware that he’s been touring for some time now, but when I was finally given the opportunity to see him perform I couldn’t resist, his latest album Pushing Through the Pavement is an absolute favourite of mine.

He opened the show by performing an original mix that I hadn’t heard before, and hyping up the crowd with epic lighting, and by shouting out over the audience for everyone to dance along (which of course we were already doing!). He launched straight into his hip hop electro track Exozoic, which of course had everyone screaming away. He had some incredibly visuals going on behind him, that seemed to energise both The Polish Ambassador, and everyone in the audience.

He played Pushing Through the Pavement almost in its entirety, which was incredible as it’s so new and hadn’t been played live many times before at all. It was a great show, and I’d definitely watch him again.

Mark Farina is amongst the best House Music Djs as he has been playing sets in clubs since the early 90's. He is originally from Chicago, so he provides those deep house roots, and now he resides in San Francisco, CA where he has gained musical influences to perfect his style.

When you first step into a club where Mark performs, it's an enlightening and invigorating experience. You hear all these sounds and you just immediately feel like you have to dance. It's what a house music club should be like. If you are in LA, he usually plays at underground places but still gets the word around those in the mix.

He is usually at KING KING in Hollywood, or DTLA warehouses, he sometimes plays in the OC as well. The bass is bumping every time, and it's so GOOD!

He has this thing called "Mushroom Jazz" where he infuses deep house and jazz, it's like a live jazz set, with the dancing. The music is so good that you don't even need drinks! Because you honestly just want to be there taking everything in. The times I've drank too much, I've regretted it.

It's just an amazing experience to listen to him live, it's a progressive set of ecstasy. And, the best part is that it only gets better and better as the night goes on. If you like deep house, this is where you NEED to be. He will sometimes do his ALL VYNIL sets, it just makes you happy. It is so good! Everyone needs to attend one of his sets. The music is shocking, like everytime I go, I'm just like "Shit, how did he think of that? How does it fit so well?" He is a musical MAD MAN.

However, he is such a friendly guy. When I saw him last year at his Halloween show in LA, he had a GHOSTBUSTERS dancer! I asked Mark for a photo with me before he went on stage... my flash wasn't working and he politely said to me, "I'ts ok I've got time." I was so heart felt when he said this, it shows he cares and values his fans. I've recently had my boyfriend listen to Farina's music and he loves it! We went to both of his ALL VYNIL sets earlier this year and we are going to listen and dance to his set this June at Saint Rocke. Mark Farina loves his cute son Dylan! You will always see him on his INSTAGRAM: @djmarkfarina and he also posts vivid scenic illustrations. He's into old vintage cars as well! What a rad man!

With all my house music experience and just music in general, I would recommend any of his live sets if you are able to attend, in a heartbeat! It's always unforgettable and you will say to yourself, "Man, this is so good!"
