Gabriel & Dresden start off 2004 with a total of eight #1 Billboard Club
Play Chart Remixes, a #11 UK Pop Chart Hit "As the Rush Comes" as members
and producers of Motorcycle, and three Dance Star Award nominations for
Best Producer, Best Single, and Best Break Through DJ. In addition, the duo
is busy producing their debut mix CD, which will be released on Nettwerk
Records this Spring.
Gabriel & Dresden met at the Winter Music Conference in 2001, when Josh
Gabriel was giving out the white label of his first track "Wave 3" and Dave
Dresden was scouting new music for Pete Tong. Dresden loved the track, and
two weeks later it got played on Tong's BBC Radio 1 show. Tong soon offered
Dresden the opportunity to remix New Order's track, "Someone Like You" and
Gabriel was tapped to work on the remix.
Three years later the duo have produced 33 remixes, 2 original tracks, and
have a world wide hit as Motorcycle with vocalist JES. Dresden also
produces under the name Attention Deficit, and Gabriel writes and produces
his own tracks, and has had two acclaimed singles as a producer and member
of the group, Andain.
Both Gabriel and Dresden have been involved in music since they started
their professional careers. Gabriel began writing and producing music after
getting his first synthesizer in 1981. He eventually incorporated the
computer into his music making with the addition of his trusty Mac Plus.
Gabriel obtained a BFA degree in composition from California Institute of
the Arts University and studied at the Institute of Sonology in Den Hague,
The Netherlands. He then worked in various post-production studios, on
projects for clients such as Sony, Disney, Sega and Oddworld.
Gabriel moved on to create Mixman? music software and acted as co-founder
of the company Mixman Technologies Inc. for 8 years. Dresden's impressive
career includes DJing for the past 15 years, while holding various high
profile music industry jobs such as writer for artist interviews and music
reviews, and driving A&R for Promo Only. Dresden has compiled mix CD's and
compilations for several record labels, scouted for Pete Tong, has been a
radio DJ and music director for both Internet and radio stations with a
world wide listening base.
The duo live and produce in San Francisco, California.
