Gabriel Ananda Biographie

Already as a little boy Gabriel Ananda was into music. He had his first
serious encounter with music during a fever rush, listening to Classical
music which made him notice the relativity of things for the first time.
That happened at the age of 8 years.

His somewhat involuntary cello instruction did not avail but his passion
for music found its ways at the age of 16 when he played songs of Nirvana
on his guitar. However his dream of becoming an international rockstar did
not come true. But there also was this passion for minimal music à la Steve
Reich and the fascination for electronic sounds.

Thus he went on his journey to find his vision of music, which he couldn't
find for two years until he was priviledged to experience a premium DJ-Set
by Sven Väth in 1995. This was his crucial experience and Gabriel Ananda
began experimenting in electronic sounds. Two years later he had his first
release on the German Label Hörspielmusik followed by several 12" releases
on imprints like Trapez, Utils, Substatic and last but not least Karmarouge
Records.

Refreshingly different from the common Techno mainstream Gabriel Ananda
breaks hearing-habbits using well dosed deep structured sounds. Connoisseur
of the uncommon enjoy his straight and fiddly cool beats. Definitions
become useless if Techno, House and Dub merge together like in Gabriel
Anandas productions. "Acoustic elements give a personal note to my
electronic music".
