San Francisco-based artist/DJ/production duo Gabriel & Dresden just spent the last year locked up in their studio with
two world-class vocalists, vintage guitars, an electric bass, various percussion instruments and a host of electronics
including their trusty Minimoog synthesizer and TR-909 drum machine. At the heart of it all is the signature Gabriel &
Dresden sound: sexy house and techno beats, lush emotive music, haunting melodies and powerful vocals. This
album proves that credible underground production techniques, meaningful lyrics, pop hooks and kick drums can all
exist in harmony.
As producers, Gabriel & Dresden are responsible for a long list of dance club favorites including the worldwide smash
Motorcycle \"As the Rush Comes\" which was the #1 dance song on US radio in 2004 and reached #11 in the UK pop
charts. Their most recent effort\'s include Zocalo (a collaboration with Armin Van Burren) and Without You Near (with
Markus Schulz and Departure) . As remixers, they have achieved a string of awards, Billboard #1\'s and given their
personal spin to a long list of artists: Annie Lennox, Dido, Jewel, Sara Mclachlan, Duncan Sheik, Britney Spears &
Madonna, Paul Oakenfold, Tiesto and more. Most recently, when musicality and dance-floor appeal were needed for
the remix of Gustavo Santaolalla\'s Academy Award Winning \"The Wings,\" theme to the movie Brokeback Mountain,
Gabriel & Dresden were chosen for the job.
As DJ\'s, Gabriel & Dresden have toured the world playing the best clubs and festivals, were voted in at #29 in the
prestigious DJ Magazine Top 100 poll and broadcast their own weekly show \"Gabriel & Dresden Organized Nature\"
on Sirius Satellite radio. In 2004 they released their mix CD, \"Bloom\" on Nettwerk Records, DJ-mixed the soundtrack
for the popular FOX TV series Nip/Tuck and launched their indie record label, Organized Nature. Through it all,
Gabriel & Dresden defy classification and have earned respect and support globally of both fans and the worlds top
DJs by constantly pushing electronic music to the next level.
Gabriel & Dresden met at the Winter Music Conference in 2001, when Josh Gabriel was giving out white label copies
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, and later appeared on his compilation \"Pete Tong\'s Twisted
Beats.\" Tong soon offered Dresden the opportunity to remix New Order\'s track, \"Someone Like You\" and Gabriel was
tapped to work on the remix. The two have not stopped making music together since.
