Название проекта, как это не парадоксально, оказалось знаковым в судьбе минских музыкантов. Ambassador21 и в самом деле стали первыми белорусскими электро-индустриальными послами в Старом Свете. В результате, на сегодняшний день в арсенале группы опыт работы с такими матерыми волками сцены, как AH CAMA-SOTZ, ASCHE, AXIOME, BONG-RA, CDATAKILL, CONTAGIOUS ORGASM, CONVERTER, END, FANNY, HYPNOSKULL,
ISZOLOSCOPE, MIMETIC, MONOLITH, MOTHBOY, P.A.L, PROYECTO MIRAGE, ROGER ROTOR, SCHIZOID, S.K.E.T., SNOG, SONAR, SYNAPSCAPE, TARMVRED, THIS MORN OMINA, :WUMPSCUT: и многими другими.
Команда достигла небывалой популярности у западной индустриальной аудитории, - постоянно растущее количество поклонников обусловлено выступлениями на концертных площадках Maschinenfest, Elektroanschlag, Noxious Art Festival, Resistance Festival, Slimelight, Metropolis, Breakcore Gives Me Wood и т.д.
Ambrassador 21, впитав в себя революционный дух DHR в целом и Atari Teenage Riot в частности, играют забористый и драйвовый трэш-панк-хардкор с пост-советским колоритом, приправленый индустриальным перчиком.
